Migrate from Drupal comment.module to Disqus comments

Subscribing. If someone could do this it would tilt the scales in against anything else out there.

Definitely a great idea. Subscribing.

Any plans or ETA on when the Export from Drupal to Disqus could be implemented?

I'm also wondering about exporting comments from drupal into disqus... ETA?? Seems like a key feature for anyone with an already-developed website.

Thanks for any answers. This looks like a great module, if I could just import my existing comments.

+1 for the export - subscribing

Waiting on the ability to export comments from Drupal into Disqus as well...

Me too. Would love to be able to import old Drupal comments into the Disqus system.

I concur, would very much like to be able to import old comments. Unless implementing on a brand new site, quite a bit of dialogue can be lost. Basically, that was just a long way of saying 'subscribing'...

Attached is a *working* export patch. It adds the ability to export Drupal comments to any of your Disqus forums (including or excluding unapproved Drupal comments). It stores the export results in a table {disqus_migrate_export} to prevent duplicate comments from being exported; it also allows the API to fail but pick back up where it last was in the export.

Apply the patch inside the migrate_disqus folder. There is also a pre-patched version of the migrate module attached. Enjoy!

NOTE: I would randomly get unmarked API errors during certain test runs (only occurred on 1 or 2 tests), however this appears just to be an API problem because the export picks back up the next run. No threads or comments were missed when these errors occurred (tested on a site with about 40 threads and 200 comments). For sites with large amount of comments PHP will *probably* time out before it gets done, for now you can simply reload the page after the time out and click export again to pick up at the last comment. Eventually it would be nice to have a more graceful batch style export to avoid PHP time outs all together (maybe it's not a big deal though since it's a one-time operation usually).

P.S: To the module maintainer, ImageX Media would love to be credited for this work on the project page. Our company page is http://drupal.org/profile/companies/ImageX%20Media (http://imagexmedia.com). Thanks!!

I'm getting this error when I try to export comments-
user warning: Table 'database.disqus_migrate_export' doesn't exist query: SELECT c.*, u.mail as user_mail, n.title as node_title FROM comments c INNER JOIN users u ON u.uid = c.uid INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid = c.nid LEFT JOIN disqus_migrate_export d ON d.cid = c.cid AND d.fid = 320046 WHERE d.did IS NULL AND c.status IN (0) ORDER BY c.timestamp ASC in /home/public_html/sites/all/modules/disqus/disqus_migrate.admin.inc on line 138.

I recently installed the disqus module and applied the patch from post #17 located here http://drupal.org/node/269010#comment-2756308 after having uninstalled and re-installing the module. After clicking on the export tab all I receive is a blank page. Has anyone run in to this issue? What can I do to trouble shoot this?

Now that this issue is re-opened, I'll mention this here too. We tried the same thing with similar results, and I'd already been trying to create a comment export module on my own, so I finished that up. Maybe give it a shot? So far it's working for all our tests.
