    Importing External data into classipress

    Hi

    I have been running classifieds site called www.kachavadom.com which I would like to port to wordpress. I am planning to write a script to import the data directly to word press. Currently as you can see by visiting the site I have the a table which I will refer as post data. It is Title, description, Category, sub Category if it exists, Status. Now what i would like to know is is there some format where I could run each post to directly post to the function you use for your ad post form with the variables. example if I call the script for post ad with postadscript.php?tile="something"&detail="somedeta il" where title, detail etc are the various variables for the word press post. If you can give me the exact variables I could prob create a hack to do this and also create new users if the user doesn't already exist.

    Unfortunately not. You could import your ads directly into the wordpress database though and get pretty much everything in that way. Experiment with a couple ads first to make sure all the data gets brought in correctly before running the entire script.
