When trying to use 2.0.6, my import always stops on the Group import. I will get one group imported with no name and a 1970 year without the other groups importing and no continue button to continue importing the rest of my data. Do you know why this might be or how I can resolve? Thank you

HI,

I have a problem with the importer, it gets stuck at group import giving message 0) created group and no continue button. I have tried 100 times without any results.

Both Wordrpess and Buddypress are the fresh installs and latest import from ning plugin version.

Another problem it the members are imported but when i click on their profile link it give me 404 error.

Pls let me know what needs to be done here.

Thanks

Hello,

I am getting multiple errors as well as no photos showing up. Here are the errors I am getting.

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home6/manlands/public_html/wp-content/plugins/import-from-ning/bp-functions.php on line 534

Warning: file_get_contents(/home6/manlands/public_html/wp-content/ning-files/ning-discussions-local.json) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home6/manlands/public_html/wp-content/plugins/import-from-ning/bp-functions.php on line 92

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@Boone Gorges !
Hi there ! Your awesome plugin saved my life :)

I have done some modification to this plugin to import Albums photos and create albums. It doesn’t import existent albums, beacause I don’t fount any information about them. Only photos.

Also now it imports group avatars but I don’t realy shure that it works well… but it works in my case.

I can pass you a code if you want but I wish you to plase me in developers list or thanx list.

What do you think about it ??
Whire me on my mail.

I will get the admin to upload the discussions files, and then I can get you a copy somehow.

OK, thanks for that. None of the exports I had access to contained group comments like that. I’ll try to dig one up so that I can add that import functionality to the plugin.

Look at the bottom of this group, and you will see some people use the comments as an unthreaded discussion forum.

We definitely don’t want to lose those discussions.

So group “comments” are different from group discussions? I didn’t know there was such thing as group comments, so I didn’t write anything in the plugin to import them. That would certainly explain it!

So, just to clarify: the comments at the bottom of each Ning Group are in the discussions file?
