I want to import some contents into vBulletin Forums System. I am using vBulletin 5. I don't have experience working with vBulettin, I want to export posts and contents to something like csv and import them to VB Forum someway.
Any help or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
The exact process depends on what type of forum you are importing from. Importing to vBulletin from phpBB might differ from IPB or Xenforo.
I would start by looking at vBulletin's import documentation using ImpEx.

I would recommend you to use the library named as PHP Excel. Here is the Link
Here is the list of Examples
Click here to view the Excel downloads with image
You will be giving the path like $objDrawing->setPath('./images/phpexcel_logo.gif');
And for more attributes
$objDrawing->setName('Paid');
$objDrawing->setDescription('Paid');
$objDrawing->setCoordinates('B15');
$objDrawing->setOffsetX(110);
$objDrawing->setRotation(25);
You shall download the library and see the examples provided in it.
I have been trying to import or migrate the Codeigniter database into wordpress. Is that possible to do by any means? I have searched for the solution for it at many places but was unable to find a relevant solution to it.
The real problem is that I have already got a website created in CodeIgniter but now I am making a new site for the same using Wordpress. I need to import all the data and posts contained in the older site into the new one. Maybe database migration can be a easier idea. How will be doing so??
Codeigniter is a development framework for building applications. WordPress is a system that's already built. I think you could build a large application like WordPress with Codeigniter. But it would then rely on Codeigniter's libraries and framework, so to make that happen I think you would have to rebuild WordPress from scratch. Unless Codeigniter can be used as more of a PHP editing framework as well?
Maybe a Codeigniter guru will weigh in.

The main issue with this is that your CI database is not structured the same as wordpress database.
There are some tools that help you import databases in wordpress like this plugins:
WP Ultimate CSV Importer Plugin
Really Simple CSV Importer
CSV Importer
but you will have to provide them the CSV file, that you'll have to export from your CI website. I don't think the import process is very complicated but it's sure easier if you spend some time understanding wordpress databse structure, for that a great resource is the wordpress code and the Database Description page.
The complexity of the CSV file is determined by the objects that you have to import in WordPress here is a check list that its good to have when you start building a CSV file:
1) Are you importing custom post types or just blog entires?
2) Do you have extra info on your import objects that have to be imported as custom fields?
3) Do you have users that you need to import? if you do, what roles do you need to have? do you require custom roles (this makes things very complicated)
4) Do you objects have images attached to them? if they do you'll have to make sure that the import plugin is able to import images!
5) Do you have categories and tags? do they have extra info besides wordpress default info?
When I have to import data to WordPress I try to keep it as simple as possible, I'm trying to import only blog posts and their images if possible depending on the complexity of the initial website I might import categories and tags too but I might split the process before adding this and process them after I have the posts in my wordpress site (this is because I'm more comfortable working with wordpress database and functions then with 3rd party CSV generated files - it might not be your case since you have full access to the initial CI website)
In the end have a look at the plugins I've linked or search yourself some import plugins and check the CSV files they need and try to make the CI website generate a CSV file that is similar with the ones in the examples.
If you have experience with the WordPress databse structure then you can also create a script that loads your data from one database to the other one (I recommend this approach for developers that have experience with both the old websites and WordPress at code/database structure level.
if you can share your databse scheme some extra info might be given.
Export posts from CI database in CSV/XML format or SQL and then change it to CSV accordingly. after that, use WP all import plugin and select the columns correctly. Easy as that..
When trying to import a csv file using the WP All Import Plugin everything is fine until I get to the final "Finish" step that does the import. At that point the import fails and gives me a generic "Import XML - Error" display Created 0/Updated 0 of 29 records.
This was working previously, now it is failing on all files, even ones that I know were working previously.
Is there some type of debug logging for this? I don't see anything on the plugin documentation that show's where I can even look to start debugging. Sorry, but I'm Wordpress noob.
I solved this by lowering the number of records processed in each iteration.

My client is using WordPress as CMS but want's to deliver their posts (in their case property's) trough a XML feed.
Is it possible to get the info from that XML feed and import it to WordPress as posts?
This is what my feed looks like: http://vrds.nl/test.xml
Hoping for help!
There are quite a few plugins that do this. Perhaps one of them fits what you want to do.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content
My company made a plugin that can do exactly this.
It is called WP All Import - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-all-import/ - it can import XML in any format, download images (something you'll probably need if you are importing properties), and works with any theme.
I would like to know is there any module for exporting all the content cck fields into csv in drupal..
Please help me
thanks in advance
I personally have had great success with the feeds module. It provides many features that make routine import / exports much easier.
Another way that has worked well for me is the Views data export module.. It allows you to export any view as a variety of formats.
Node export module may also help you.
...the Node export package comes with the CSV - RFC4180 compliant CSV
code format. Ideal for viewing in Windows software, and editing data
as spreadsheets.
