    Bulk Classified Ads upload

    Hi,

    We are migrating from our existing interface to using Classipress. Suggest, how do we migrate the posts from old setup to new. Is there a tool using which I can upload bulk posts maybe in .csv format..

    Re: Bulk Classified Ads upload

    Im also going to be doing it for my present site kachavadom.com. It can be done by writing a import script and adding it to the import library for wordpress. I will prob be writing one for my personal use for my current site www.kachavadom.com to be ported to classipress as soon as I finish customizing it for my personal needs if you want I can suggest a roadmap if you can script it yourself for your database. I myself am not a pro coder but I know it can be done quite easily. How many posts and categories are you looking at?

    Create a custom file like the following please create functions as suggested and you are ready to go and upload into wp-admin/import. Im still working on it but plan to finsh my theme design first but heres how you do it.

    NOTE: The following code is incomplete yo have to insert functionality as suggested.

    Code:
    <?php

/*

Class Name: your custom name 
Description: Import ads ffor blah blah blah

Version: 0.001

Author: Your name

Author URI: http://www.if yo want 

*/





/*  
	
*/



class somename {

	function dispatch() {

		

		$query="SELECT * FROM DATABASE";
		$itemRS = mysql_query($query); 


		list($posttitle,$postdescription,$postcategory,$user etc....) = mysql_fetch_row($itemRS);

For each post create user and if user does not exist create one
Create post
Add post meta if any


	}



	function somename() {

		// Nothing.

	}

}



$kachavadom = new kachavadom();



register_importer('kachavadom', 'KACHAVADOM.COM', __('Import ads from kachavadom.com'), array ($kachavadom, 'dispatch'));



?>
