Geeklog Forums

I have two sites that I want to merge into one site. I've tried dumping one database and inserting it into the other, but that doesn't work because of the duplicate items.

Is there a "simple" way to do this?

I'm afraid there is no simple way to do this, as you would have to sync the user data, including the permissions. What if there's a user "joe" on both sites? And even if it's the same person, what if they have different user ids? Everything in Geeklog has an owner, represented by the user id ... I'd say this would be an, erm, interesting challenge.

If it's only about porting over a few stories, your best bet is to make a database backup, fix the user ids (and topic ids) manually and then import only the stories table. But as soon as you want to port over comments as well, things get a lot more complicated ...
