Wordpress Importer fails when using different databases

[Impulz]

Hi everyone,

i'm using s9y 0.8 and am experiencing problems when trying to import wordpress data from another database.
Example:
Wordpress resides at:
impulz.wp_*

s9y is at:
testing.serendipity_*

When trying to import the importer switches to database impulz and trys to insert the new data to serendipity_entries which does not exist in this database:

INSERT INTO serendipity_entries ...
/ Table 'impulz.serendipity_entries' doesn't exist

This should be fixable by using a second mysql connection for inserting the data into s9y (in case there are also different users).

best regards,
Michael

Oh, okay, you are right, there are problems in the importer.

You can bypass it by copying the Wordpress Database over to your Serendipity database; since both use different prefixes, that should be possible.
