You don’t happen to know anyone who has successfully imported Haloscan comments into WordPress do you?

I just got it working for MT 3.16. It was all based on Gabriel Misura’s code and your helpful comments. However, I only imported the text of the comment, author, and date of comment. There are no hyperlinks. I wanted it that way since I don’t like linking to people’s email addresses and I didn’t care for the links to people’s websites. The perl code wasn’t outputing it to the Database anyways. It did the job for me though. The files I modified were:

\lib\MT\App\CMS.pm
\tmpl\cms\header.tmpl
\tmpl\cms\import_comments.tmpl
\images\nav-import-comments.gif
\styles.css (you have to add the image to the “Import Comments” location here)
\extlib\HTML\TableExtract.pm

What is no longer used in MT3.xx is:

\tmpl\cms\mininav.tmpl (this is now been deprecated by header.tmpl)

Btw, I don’t know Perl, and I just started hacking at MT about 2 days ago.

As well, the import brought in some garbage HTML:

There were 2 types:

1. The actual HTML source of the Haloscan comments window
2. The copyright/powered by Haloscan stuff

I had to go into the MySQL database and run the following 2 commands:

DELETE FROM `mt`.`mt_comment` where comment_text like ‘%form method%’
DELETE FROM `mt`.`mt_comment` WHERE comment_text like ‘<p align=”center”>%’

After removing the rubbish, I was simply too lazy to publish the comments to I just did the following:

UPDATE `mt`.`mt_comment` SET comment_visible=’1’

Yes. This is defintely not for the average user :-( But it worked for me.

I tried the steps and the Import Comments button never shows up. Thanks for your help if you can. If not, not a big deal…my blog is pretty new and I don’t have a lot of comments yet.</p> Zack, I’m guessing this doesn’t work for MT 3.14?

On second thought, after looking over the spec I think I’ll just leave those Haloscan comments right where they are thank you. But major geek props to you for getting it to work!</p> Whoa!
