Re: Complete Newbie Migrating from Ning
All:
Please note that your Ning export may be corrupted. Your LOCAL JSON file should be the same size as its sister file. According to Boone Gorges, the creator of the Ning to BuddyPress Importer, you can rename your -non-local file to LOCAL, as all the content in both should relatively be the same, with the following caveat:
“-local.json files in the Ning export should be more or less identical to the non-local files, except that the local ones have relative links, which is especially relevant for inline images (which are stored in the /discussions/ directory).”
The plug-in searches first for the “ning-discussions-local.json” file. If that is corrupted, then the process will not complete. Boone said that he could change it, but that would mean having to do a search and replace in mysql of the path set by the export.
