discourse/script/import_scripts/socialcast/README.md

To get started, copy the config.ex.yml to config.yml, and then update the properties for your Socialcast instance.

This importer uses the Socialcast API.

domain: 'my-socialcast-domain'
username: 'my-socialcast-username'
password: 'my-socialcast-password'

Create the directory for the json files to export: mkdir output Then run bundle exec ruby export.rb /path/to/config.yml

If desired, edit the socialcast_message.rb file to set the category and tags for each topic based on the name of the Socialcast group it was originally posted to.

You must create categories with the same names first in your site.

All topics will get the DEFAULT_TAG at minimum.

Topics posted to a group that matches any group name in the TAGS_AND_CATEGORIES map will get the associated category and tags.

Other topics will be tagged with the original groupname and placed in the DEFAULT_CATEGORY.

To run the import, run bundle exec ruby import.rb

To run the import in a production, run RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec ruby import.rb
