still needs testing, I need a db dump
I could provide a punBB dump if required. I am interested in importing from punbb. I've just installed nodebb so have version 0.80. Will the importer work with this version? 0.7 is mentioned in the readme.
sure - email it to me. I would probably need to publish like a new npm module, nodebb-plugin-import-punbb2 to use my fork from patricksebastien's fork btw - The importer now works with the latest stable NodeBB v0.8.2,
ugh - email/share it to bentael@gmail.com
@akhoury Will do - haven't worked on this in a while but it is being resurrected. Thanks!
@akhoury I've emailed you the dump file. Apologies for the delay.
got it, I will test as soon as i can, probably another week from now.
Cool. In the meantime, can you confirm if I can try this via the Node Admin panel or if I need to try an import from the command line as was detailed here - http://www.workinprogress.ca/punbb-to-nodebb
you should try my fork, https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import-punbb not patricksebastien's
I submitted PR to him more than a year ago, he doesn't seem responsive https://github.com/patricksebastien/nodebb-plugin-import-punbb/pull/2
In the Admin Panel > Import > Pre-Import Config > Select an Exporter
don't select one from the select box, just modify the text input below and enter
git://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import-punbb#master
to install my fork.
Or, you can
cd nodebb/node_modules
git clone https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import-punbb
cd nodebb-plugin-import-punbb
npm install
cd ..
node app
Then from the admin panel, select exporter, same select box, just type nodebb-plugin-import-punbb
and make sure you select the "Skip Module Install" box.
but anyways, there're probably few bugs in it anyways, since I just wrote my fork from memory, i didn't have a punbb dump - so.. i would wait till i confirm it's all good or if you're feeling lucky and want to fix it.
@codecowboy - tested and published - looks good so far.
Once you install "" and activate "nodebb-plugin-import", open the Pre-Import Settings > Select Exporter, but you're not gonna find "nodebb-plugin-import-punbb2" in the select box, just type nodebb-plugin-import-punbb2
in the text box below, notice I added "2" at the end
i will add it to the select box on my next nodebb-plugin-import release.
But you don't have to "Skip the Module Install" anymore (unless you npm install it yourself), it's published to npm so that should work.
