Least Significant Bits

hi,

i want to use your migration script, however i am getting an error saying "Failed opening '../adodb/adodb.inc.php' for inclusion"

however when i look in the adodb folder, i do not see such a file -- they all have names like "adodb-" ("adodob-lib.inc.php", "adodob-php4.inc.php", etc)

i appreciate your help!

Works like a charm, flawlessly took over all the content. Now I have to see whether the end-user prefers Drupal to Wordpress for their needs - which I fully expect.

This has saved me from a migration nightmare, thank you.

Can this be used repeatedly or only once?

I have scripts running that update a (hidden) wordpress site and they are perfect for what they do. Migrating to the live drupal site is the hard part.

Can I use this to update the data or only for initial install? That is, will it check for duplicate nodes or just insert regardless?

-- Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any chance you would add support for a Drupal database table prefix in wp_migrate.php, like you did you for the WP database portion?

Thanks for your time,

Geoff

thats what i get, and only two of my posts for wordpress are carried over. can anyone help?

I'm able to connect to the database, but I keep getting this error after it selects the comments from wordpress:
Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\drupal\engine.php on line 64
Any ideas? I already placed the adodb folder in the same location as the wp_migrate.php script but it still doesn't work.

I was finally able to make my script run. It didn't want to run on my local host but it worked perfectly on the target host. :)

I was able to use the same script thrice, porting three wp databases into one drupal database. (I wanted my three blogs to be accessed on just one drupal site.) It worked great! When doing this, (in wp_migrate.php) the first time you run it, set $bDeleteAll = true to delete existing entries in the target Drupal database. Set it to false for the succeeding databases after that. You might want to set $bPermalinkAlias = false as well if you have trouble importing the permalinks.

to Geoff
I was able to successfully import my wp databases to a drupal database that has a prefix. I just need to clean up my code and resubmit it in case anyone still wants to use the conversion into a prefixed Drupal database.

One last thing, for those who are using this script -- If you find yourself not able to post new items in drupal after using this script, update the entries in the SEQUENCES table. :)

Good luck everybody!

When I am running the script I am getting
Column 'uid' cannot be null.
This error comes out on line 245 echo $db_dr->ErrorMsg();
Any ideas?

It looks very likely that this will save my blog - my Wordpress install has decided that it doesn't want to let me login (I KNOW the password is correct because I set it in the database myself using phpmyadmin) - so thanks to this script I can just punch in my db details and get to it. Does it generate htaccess redirects or have I found something to spend my weekend doing :(

I get this same error. It looks like I am almost succesful, but it chokes on the wp_comments import.

I'm using WP 1.5.2 and Drupal 4.6.5.

Anyone got a hint for me please?

These are the last details I see.

I thank anyone for help. I might receive.
"Conect?ndose a WP por contenidos (mysql): SELECT id, user_login,user_pass,user_email,user_url,user_level FROM wp_users (mysql): SELECT ID,post_date,post_title,post_category, post_content,post_excerpt,post_name,post_author,post_status,comment_status FROM wp_posts ORDER BY post_date (mysql): SELECT cat_id,cat_name,category_nicename,category_description,category_parent from wp_categories (mysql): SELECT post_id,category_id FROM wp_post2cat (mysql): SELECT * from wp_comments Column 'uid' cannot be null"

I found this page extremely helpful for the issues outlned above: http://drupal.org/node/10900

Scroll down, and it explains how to get rid of that pesky error (the "Conect?ndose a WP por contenidos" one) - basically, just set $bPermalinkAlias in wp_migrate.php to 'false'. Hope this works for everyone else.

After this, works like a charm!

Thanks for saving me many, many hours with this script.

Does this include the automatic htaccess writing that wp_goto_dr has? I really don't want to have to write almost 400 redirect codes myself :(

I'm trying to use your script but I'm getting an accessed denied. Apparently it is parsing the '_' in my username that I've set as a '•' - I can't avoid having the '_'. any ideae what might be wrong?

When I extract the wp_migrate.tgz file and unzip it, I only have one file within, wp_migrate. and i am also prompted to give this file an extension. So I type php before I can extract. When I finally extract, I don't see any of the other files referenced. What is wrong?

Thanks

Congrats - this script remains the solution to beat for converting to Drupal from WordPress. Is development continuing on it? I'm especially interested given the recent upgrade to WordPress and the impending 4.7 version of Drupal.

Hi there,

I tried to use this to migrate to a fresh install of Drupal 4.7 RC but the script gave me errors. Any plans to update? I'm sure that many people have appreciated this script in the past. Hopefully I can do so in the future!

PS - to help you, here is the error that I get when I run wp_migrate.php:

Conect?ndose a WP por contenidos
(mysql): SELECT id, user_login,user_pass,user_email,user_url,user_level FROM wp_users
(mysql): SELECT ID,post_date,post_title,post_category, post_content,post_excerpt,post_name,post_author,post_status,comment_status FROM wp_posts ORDER BY post_date
(mysql): SELECT cat_id,cat_name,category_nicename,category_description,category_parent from wp_categories
(mysql): SELECT post_id,category_id FROM wp_post2cat
(mysql): SELECT * from wp_comments
Unknown column 'teaser' in 'field list'

Can the post meta be imported too. For instance, all my items have two custim fields which are stored in the posts2meta table. Can these be imported correctly?

I´m thinking of using this script but I´m currently using:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

for my permalinks. How will this interact with the .htaccess and is there a way to easily keep all of my current url names?

Your site is great free ringtones

plz help me

can you please help me by email in migrating from 2.0 to 4.7 because the other tool doesn't work?
thanks
