Basically I've got 1,700 events to switch over to CCK.

They were created with the Event Module but they contain three Flexinode text fields. Converting the text fields are no problem using Flexiconvert. It's only the Start Date and End Date that I really don't know what to do with.

I know KarenS has an Event->CCK converter but unfortunately that won't take care of the flexinode fields.

I'm kind of in a quandary not knowing how best to go about this.

First, the disclaimer: using this may cause the world to fall apart about your ears. Back up everything first and only use this on a test/development site. It worked for my specific case and relies on specifics of my setup.

The attached patch allowed me to import timestamp and checkbox data from flexinode into CCK datestamp and numeric checkbox fields respectively. I don't expect it to generalise to other setups without modification but I hope that it might be a useful starting point for someone.

P.S. Did I mention back up everything first?

Patch applies on 0.2 release, but unfortunately, there was a rewrite of the 5.x branch which means the patch is either irrelevant (the bug was fixed) or needs to be ported (the bug is still in 5.x). Please try again with the latest release to see if the bug still occurs.
