Converting forums (almost working)

By cre8d on 27 May 2005 at 23:16 UTC

Can anyone please help with imorting in forum topics into Drupal?

I have brought in the topics and can see them when I navigate to their node (and they are correctly put in the right forums).

However, when I go to the forum page which lists all the topics in that forum, they are not appearing.

I have put data into the following tables:

forum
term_node
comment_statistics

Any help greatly appreciated.

you may want to see how this is done from phpbb2

I did it and works great except it converts the forums containers from phpbb2 to regular forums

Thanks! I checked out that

Thanks! I checked out that some conversion scripts which helped me solve that problem, which was that I didn't add all the nodes to term_node somehow.

My next problem is that the software I was using didn't have threads... so not quite sure how to handle the thread variable in the comments table?
