Workaround to move comments with phpMyAdmin

Project:Comment mover
Version:master
Component:Documentation
Category:task
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active

Issue Summary

At least while Comment Mover is in Do not use on production sites status, I think a workaround to move comments with phpMyAdmin by editing nid and other fields in the comments table would be useful to users, and a welcome addition to the Comment Mover documentation. See the edit the database comment for details on how to do this.

This workaround moves comments directly, without leaving redirect links in the original nodes. However, it has the advantage of keeping cid and therefore chronological order.

You may be interested to find inspiration on my recent blog post addressing precisely the topic of moving and rearranging comments in Drupal: http://shutterfreak.net/blogs/olivier-biot/2010-06-24/rearranging-commen...

I tried to illustrate this with a couple examples.
