Hope someone can help. I'm converting two blogs (wp 2.2 and b2evolution 1.8.6) to Drupal 5 rc1.

The conversion process itself is not a problem and works. There is just one field I can't find in Drupal, it's the "Number of Reads" per node (post).

Could somebody please enlighten me, explain to which Drupal table it belongs.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Found it, so I'm answering my own question. It's a field of the table, 'node_counter'.

This should now round out my importing process very nicely.

Can you elaborate a little on which scirpt/module you used for the conversion? Did you use wp2drupal module? Thanks.

I'm using Realbasic (www.realbasic.com) and manipulating the MySql database directly. If you're not familiar with Realbasic, it can be likened to Visual Basic, though much better (in my opinion).

For those interested the process and method I used in short was this:-

Tools needed (helpful).

MySql gui client (I'm using MySql Frontend) - good to see instant data results and truncating tables to start afresh with new inserts.

Realbasic with MySql database plugin. Program used to write the actual code. It compiles to an exe file (self contained - no need for runtime type libraries).

The conversion all started with pen and paper. Worked out the relevant tables from each database and then went about working out the corresponding fields.

I didn't write a script in PHP as I've just started learning the language and it would have taken me too long.

In case someone came here via a search (like i did) I feel I should point out how to hide number of reads in node just for the sake of completion.
