PS the example.php that downloads with the bbpress plugin doesn’t have a bit to bring the message accross, so initially I had a great forum with no topic content!
I nicked the following from another converter and it seemed to work
// Topic content.
// Note: We join the posts table because topics do not have content.
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘FORUM_TOPICS’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘T_MESSAGE’,
‘join_tablename’ => ‘thread’,
‘join_type’ => ‘INNER’,
‘join_expression’ => ‘USING (threadid) WHERE post.parentid = 0′,
‘to_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘post_content’,
‘callback_method’ => ‘callback_html’
Stephen,
Thanks, that got me going in the right direction and I have achieved it.
I’ll try and post the full method for future users – I found your custom stuff useful https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
Working out the mapping and date formats took a bit of effort, but once there the rest is easy !
Thanks again
and it trashed my code, try again without the ‘s
a href=”” class=”submit user-submit”><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?
Sorry I’m a rookie idiot that didn’t include the website
