Import comments from other systems?

Is there a way to import existing comments from other popular comment systems? (e.g. Joomla Comment, Jomcomment, or even ancient Akocomment?)

Hi cedc,

Not that I know of - though it may be possible to do some kind of port over at the level of database tables if the fields are more or less the same.

Thanks.

I did an XML export from chronoforms to see what the fields look like -- which fields are required for proper functioning of the system? What is "unique id" and how is it generated?

Hi cedc,

I'm not at all sure without running the tests, Max may know more.

Bob

Hi cedc,

the unique_id is only some hash for verification and may be used in more functions but its not at the moment, so you can put dummy value there or keep it empty when you are creating the XML file!

Cheers

Thanks -- I think I managed to get this working via export/import through PhpMyAdmin and some massaging in Open Office before exporting a new csv.
