Importing only User Data from Wordpress

[joemopp]

We were looking at Impex for importing our Wordpress Users (WP2.5) to vBulletin 3.7. No other blog content is required for import and we do not have Vb-blog installed either.

Can we do this with Impex at all. Any other/ easier ways to import user data?

When running Impex, the following error message is returned:

ImpEx Database errormysql error: Invalid SQL: DESCRIBE vb_blog importblogid

mysql error: Table 'd009c569.vb_blog' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

The wordpress importer is deigned to import into vBullletin Blog, and not vBulletin forum, hence why it's erroring on that table being missing.

I'm looking to do this for one of my sites also...

I just need the users I don't need any other content.

is there a tutorial on creating your own import profile... something that I could use to understand the current WP import profile and modify to just do the users into the normal forum.

This is the only tutorial for importing users :

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=822785&postcount=3

It is not supported and is released as a demo for people who wish ti try it themselves.

Thanks Again!

I set some time aside today to sit down and look through this... once I got my mind around how the script worked I was able to get all of the users imported over cleanly :cool:

one thing I ended up having to add that I wasn't expecting to was this line in the fields array:


,'18' => array('usernote' => 'importusernoteid')

I'm assuming the usernote was something that got added to Impex after this demo script was written...
