Hello, community. I’ve been learning and remaking an import script for my site on Livestreet CMS for a couple of weeks. I have already finished writing the script, it remains to clean it up and make a pull request.
I have already imported all users too, with the exception of those who use authorization through services. The question is: How to import those users from a donor site to a Discourse who use authorization via Facebook or Google? I want to find the most elegant solution. The problem is also that some Facebook users do not have emails.
Bonus! Importing likes with date_added parameter.
I also found another method to import likes with a date, since the old method in other scripts does not work.
likes = mysql_query(<<-SQL
SELECT target_id
, user_voter_id
, vote_date
, target_type
FROM #{TABLE_PREFIX}vote
WHERE vote_direction = 1
ORDER BY vote_date
SQL
).to_a
likes.each do |l|
next unless user_id = user_id_from_imported_user_id(l["user_voter_id"])
next unless post_id = post_id_from_imported_post_id("post-#{l["target_id"]}")
next unless user = User.find_by(id: user_id)
next unless post = Post.find_by(id: post_id)
PostActionCreator.create(user, post, PostActionType.types[2], created_at: Time.at(l["vote_date"])); #PostActionType.types[2] is like
end
