For anyone playing along at home.

If you want to add import custom categories like this:

> [@alehandrof](#):
>
> ```ruby
> def import_XYZ
> puts "", "Importing XYZ"
> import_topics(@XYZ_json, "XYZ")
> end
> 
> ```
> 
> (Where XYZ one of events, groups, pages, etc.)

Make sure to also edit this line in `ning.rb` accordingly:

```ruby
create_categories((["Blog", "Pages", "XYZ"] + @discussions_json.map { |d| d["category"] }).uniq.compact) do |name|

```

Otherwise you’ll end up with everything in the “Uncategorized” category.
