When i installed this module, I get the folowing error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_file() in /my/path/to/drupal/modules/import_typepad.module on line 95
My guess is that the code os catering to the 4.6 Drupal only - and has not yet been ported to 4.7. Any chances of that happening soon??

I am getting the same error. Has anyone found a workaround? I'd fiddle with it, but I can barely tie my shoes, let alone codemonkey.

thanks.

It's also not working for me and if it supports the MT-Import text format, then this would save me a lot of time and effort. I'd be willing to help test any updates.

If it doesn't support the text format, and only supports the XML export, then I'm still stuck for my own project.

Assuming the typepad import is a one time run, just to get it into drupal, then-

One workaround way might be to
1) Install a drupal 4.6.x version (currently 4.6.9)
2) and then install and use this typepad import module to import all the info
3) and then, a) either rest easy at the fully functional 4.6.x or b) upgrade that to 4.7.x (currently 4.7.3).

I haven't tried it myself, but it's considering it, it's maybe on the order of tying your laces in a double knot..

Yep, I'm having the same issue. I've already got a seriously complexly configured install of 4.7 running I really don't want to roll back to 4.6 then upgrade. I do have over 1200 blog posts to migrate over, though, so...

If you already have a 4.7 site with a handful of nodes already created, what would be the best way to handle this import? I don't want to overwrite the existing nodes I've created in 4.7, but I really do want to get my data imported from an MT-Import file I created from Userland Manila. (I didn't start with MT or Typepad, and most of the other MT conversion paths require an actual MT installation.)

i did a little work on trying to update the module for 4.7. it's pretty wonky code i'm not so sure it's really worth the effort. the template method has been updated: http://www.disobey.com/detergent/code/drupal/

I recently patched the CVS version to work with 4.7. I'm still coming to terms with FormAPI, so it might not be the cleanest module in the world, but it works.
