• Reply Title -> 'post_title'
• Reply Slug -> 'post_name'
  • Needs a funky join:

    SELECT t1 . * , t2.thread_name
    FROM  `e107v1_forum_t` AS  `t1`
    JOIN  `e107v1_forum_t` AS  `t2`
    USING ( thread_id )
    

If you want to have play with the SQL related to this or are looking to import from e107 v1.x drop a note on this ticket and I will send you the SQL Tables with some sample data.

Moving to future release pending converter improvements to handle multiple callbacks for field mappings.

Why the sad face?

All outstanding issues per original description are now resolved :)

You can download the the file ​`e107v1.php e107 v1.x importer and add it to the bbPress converters folder:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/

Any testing and feedback you can provide would be very helpful.

Net, I can not find a way to turn my newspaper (altrogiornale.org) on wordpress + bbPress. There is only one plugin but older than 2 years.

1) The site origin must be on the local server?
2) You know if there is a script for news and content from e107 to wordpress? Please answer yes!

Sorry for my english.

This is the only e107 to WordPress plugin I know of: ​http://wordpress.org/plugins/e107-importer/

Yes it is over two years old, that doesn't mean it will not work, it might still work, create a test site and try it to see if it still works.

If it doesn't work you could create also try to recreate the same setup configuration the plugin lists as compatible with using WordPress 3.2-RC3 and bbPress 2.0-beta-3b, once it has imported everything upgrade to WordPress 3.9 and bbPress 2.5.3
