Importing from Jxtended - Data importing failed. Please contact the developer

[Kayz]

Hi i have tried and tested this comment system and it is awesome. I was just now ready to use it and apply it to our website, i went into the import section and followed the options to import jxtended comments, after submission it failed quickly and said: "Data importing failed. Please contact the developer".

We have over 208 comments on Jxtended and the version we have is JXtended Comments 1.3.0.

Please advise,

Thank you.

Seems I've tested import with older version. I've no JXtended Comments 1.3.0. If you send me it I'll try to update import function and publish patch for it. See PM.

Cheers

Thank you very much! I've found and fixed the bug.

1. Open file /administrator/components/com_jcomments/admin.jcomments.migration.php
2. Find code:

Code: (php)

        $db->setQuery("SHOW TABLE LIKE '%jxcomments_threads%';");

and replace with:

Code: (php)

        $db->setQuery("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%jxcomments_threads%';");

3. Find code:

Code: (php)

            $comment->source     = $language;
            $comment->lang         = $source;

and replace with

Code: (php)

            $comment->source     = $source;
            $comment->lang         = $language;

After this import will work!

If you're using JComments 2.2.0.2 this is line 1343 in /administrator/components/com_jcomments/admin.jcomments.migration.php

Oh sorry, i was looking in jxtended folder.

I will try this again shortly.

Thanks

Thank you very much.

This is the best comments component ever.

I will now go to Jxtended and tell them how poor service they give people and i will also go to Jxtended joomla extension and rate them very bad.

Everybody stay away from Jxtended! They are noobs!

I don't think that this is good idea. Every extension has its own good and bad sides. Every support could be sometime too fast and sometimes very slow. If you're think that JComments is better - just use it. I don't think that you could change anything by posting any kind of complains on their forum or JED.

It would be more useful if you will use JComments and take active part to testing and help us to make this extension more better than now. Share your ideas, suggest new features, help us with translation or documentation. It would be more useful than voting bad for any other extension!
