Expression Engine Forum/Comments export to Disqus

Awesome stuff! :: watches on GitHub ::

Thanks!

A very nice contribution, Jason - thanks!

I’ve just tried this, but it’s not working for me as expected.

In the config area I see:

// CONFIG $user_api_key = ”; // GET FROM DISQUS // PROD $forum_api_key = ”; // GET FROM DISQUS

but when I go to the API for Disqus I see a Public Key and a Secret Key, not a user key and forum key. In any case I tried various combinations but got the following error (replaced my key with ***********) repeating when I loaded ee_disqus_exporter.php

Array ( [message] => Key ********************* could not be converted to ForumKey object <pre><code> => input-invalid [succeeded] => ) Array ( [message] => Key ************************ could not be converted to ForumKey object <pre><code> => input-invalid [succeeded] => )

please advise.

I’m trying to import EE comments into Disqus with this script, but when I run it from the browser it just keeps loading, and loading… and loading. Not sure what to do here.

Also, as Sean mentioned above, I’m kinda confused on what I should put in forum_api_key, since I have only got a secret and a public key.

Edit: Actually, scratch that last bit. I just realised that this script uses the pre-3.0 Disqus API, and that Secret and Public keys are from the new API. Any chance of getting this updated?

I, too, would really like to be able to use this tool. Will this one be updated, or has anyone found something similar? I tried exporting the comments to a template using the specs Disqus provides, but that’s not getting me very far; it’s timing out on me.

This is great.

Does anyone know of a script that exports the data to the Disqus xml schema into a file for import. ref http://docs.disqus.com/developers/export/

The Disqus API only allows 1000 comments per hour.

I have 155,000 to import. Disqus recommends importing via file.

Thanks,

Jim

I just released a small php tool (based on the Ruby version) to convert EE 1.x/2.x comments to Disqus https://github.com/hamiltonmascioli/EE-Blog-Export-To-Disqus–PHP- Wasn’t able to find something like this so hopefully this helps someone else 😊

Hi,

I couldn’t get your script on Github to work so I used your code as the basis for a small PHP site to accomplish the same thing. It uses your Disqus API code and the ConvertCharacters/resourceCurl methods but I modified the overall format to do some more error checking (especially on the database side), use PDO for the database access (which I prefer) and do most things the OO-way (which I also prefer).

Full credit to you for the original PHP (my site makes that clear) but just wanted to make a quick post to say thanks for making this available - I just used my site to export all my comments and so far it’s running well with no errors.

Thanks again. 😊

The script is out of date based on the new API requirements for Disqus … When I get some time I will circle back and look at a new update.
