Import scripts fail to relate topics and posts

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around issues with import scripts in a custom forum. Matias_Hernandez is having trouble relating topics and posts using the create_posts method. gerhard suggests rewriting the function, pointing out that the topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id() method returns a hash, and provides a revised code snippet.

paultaylor is experiencing a separate issue, trying to create topics owned by a particular user rather than the admin user running the script. They reference a related discussion, and ask for clarification on how to pass the user ID to the API, specifically whether to use the id column or the username column of the users table.

I’m writing an import script for a custom forum.
The importing of categories and users works good, but the script (using the create_posts method) is not able to build the relation between the topic and the replies.

The relevant code

//Topics
create_posts(threads, total: total) do |t|
  source_user_id = @usernamesMap[t["username"]]
  {
    id: t["id"],
    user_id: user_id_from_imported_user_id(source_user_id) || Discourse::SYSTEM_USER_ID,
    raw: t["Thread_Description"],
    created_at: t["created_at"],
    posts_count: t["count"],
    category: category_id_from_imported_category_id(t["Topic_ID"]),
    title: t["title"]
  }
end

// Replies
create_posts(posts, total: total) do |t|
  next unless topic = topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(t["Thread_ID"])
  source_user_id = @usernamesMap[t["username"]]
  opts = {
     id: t['id'],
     user_id: user_id_from_imported_user_id(source_user_id) || Discourse::SYSTEM_USER_ID,
     raw: t["Post_Description"],
     created_at: t["created_at"],
     title: t["title"],
     topic_id: topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(t["Thread_ID"]), //This is not working correctly
     reply_to_post_number: topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(t["Thread_ID"])
   }
end

Any ideas?

The topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id() method returns a hash.

So, I’d rewrite your function to something like this:

create_posts(posts, total: total) do |t|
  parent = topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(t["Thread_ID"])
  next unless parent
  source_user_id = @usernamesMap[t["username"]]
  opts = {
     id: t['id'],
     user_id: user_id_from_imported_user_id(source_user_id) || Discourse::SYSTEM_USER_ID,
     raw: t["Post_Description"],
     created_at: t["created_at"],
     title: t["title"],
     topic_id: parent[:topic_id],
     reply_to_post_number: parent[:post_number]
   }
end

특정 사용자가 소유하도록, adminuser가 아니라 특정 사용자가 소유하도록 주제를 생성하는 방법을 알아보고 있습니다.

작성자님의 게시물을 보면 API에 user_id를 전달하면 되는 것 같지만 문서화되어 있지 않으며, 제 경우에는 작동하지 않는 것 같습니다. 실제로 그렇게 되는지, 그리고 그렇다면 user_id가 users 테이블의 id 컬럼인지 username 컬럼인지 알려주실 수 있을까요?
