Custom Import – how to skip fields that don't apply?

    Hi there!

    We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

    So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

    And ran the import…

    But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

    So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

    For example, this one…

    
    // Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
    		$this->field_map[] = array(
    			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
    			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
    			'to_type'        => 'forum',
    			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
    		);
    

    I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

    Thanks!
    Dan
