import comments and edit comments time&date
Hi I’m working on a guestbook,
1.
I got an old JS guestbook system that saving all the posts on a .txt file
here is a sample:
“ 1077046390²name@domain.com²My name²http://www.my-website.com²my post bla bla bla “
now I got 200 posts, so is there a way to convert them to TXP’s comments style
and somehow import/upload them into textpattern to my guestbook article using a plugin or phpmyadmin please?
2.
Is there a way to edit/change the comments time&date?
(not just the format, from 01.01.08 to 15.04.08 or so)
Thanks :)

Re: import comments and edit comments time&date
OK so I got an Idea!
Get ready:
ok so if I can’t edit the time&date so I can fake it!
using the <txp:comment_web />
I will create 2 articles in my guestbook
1. for the old guestbook posts.
2. for the new posts that will come in the future.
I will need to create 2 forms too
and I will not use the date tag in the old guestbook form,
I will use the website input tag and write the date of each message
after I will done to post all the old posts I will close the comment-form
so I will have only the comments left,
and I will go to my guestbook page and place them down to the new posts.
yes it’s a long way to go but I don’t know any other way to do this s**t
the only problem is that I will can’t have comments paging,
if I do have a comments paging so I will have 2 paging,
one for each article of my 2 articles and it will be realy bad lol.
but it’s still a way to fake all the old posts dates from my old guestbook ;)
does anyone got a better idea?

Re: import comments and edit comments time&date
a better idea is to:
<txp:if_comment_web />
<txp:comment_web />
<txp:else />
<txp:comment_time />
</txp:if_comment_web />
is there a way to do something like this please?
