Sorry, i didn’t get to it last night but i did tonight…

Here’s a link to a writeup i did on it:
http://mpickell.com/blog/2012/04/06/convert-an-old-scoop-cms-to-wordpress/

Anyone use this?

Here’s the summary…

1) Get jQueryify here and add the bookmarklet per the instructions.

2) When you get to the “assign authors” page, right-click on the browser page and select “Inspect Element” (Chrome), or “Inspect with Firebug” in Firefox (install firebug if you haven’t already). In IE press F12 to start the Dev Tools.

3) Press the jQuerify bookmarklet button that you installed from step 1. This will turn on jQuery for the page.

4) Go to the console tab, enable the console if you need to, paste this code in and press RUN:

jQuery.noConflict(); //Disable jQuery $ just incase.

jQuery(‘#authors li’).each(function() {
// Get the author login text
var username = jQuery(this).find(‘strong’).html();
var author_login = jQuery.trim((username.split(‘(‘))[0]);

//Figure out which option this author is in the drop down.
var selectOptionval = -1;
jQuery(this).find(‘select option’).each(function(){
if (jQuery(this).html() === author_login) {
selectOptionval = jQuery(this).val();
return false;//quit .each() early.
}
});

// Set the combo box to this author’s option key.
jQuery(this).find(‘select’).val(selectOptionval);
// For test…
//console.log(author_login + “: ” + selectOptionval);
});

Here’s a hack solution that fit my need. With almost 500 users i couldn’t select all of these by hand.

I wrote it up on my blog so i could put better description in it

I think i may be able to go back using firebug and auto-select all of those if that is necessary… but is that the best way?

Maybe this line:

$user_id = wp_insert_user( $user_data );

in the get_author_mapping() function of the plugin is returning an error and therefore defaulting (in the following lines) to admin?

If that’s the case, then this “insert user” call should be returning the existing user, or maybe a retry on this call with the author’s ‘user_pass’ field blanked out since it is randomly generated each time and will never match an existing user?

Just throwing something out there. i’ll add more debug lines to the plugin tonight and try to see where it is failing.
