I have a production site which has been using MyBlog/JomComment for quite awhile now (through several revs of those components) for my blog. Due to limitations of JomComment, I would like to switch over to using !JoomlaComment with MyBlog. Although I don't have many blog postings, one of them in particular has a LOT of comments (over 300) and I wish to preserve these comments across the migration to !JoomlaComment.

I installed !JoomlaComment 4.0 without incident. On the importcomment tab, I can select JomComment as an import component, but unfortunately the preview demonstrates that this would only import 3 out of the 330+ comments! A little investigation shows why: when I go to Components->JomComment and view the comments, it appears as though almost all of them are associated with the component "My Blog" and not "Joomla Content".

I'm not sure if this is an artifact of successive updates of the MyBlog and/or JomComment components, but that's what I see.

I did purchase and install the MyBlog<->!JoomlaComment bridge plugin because I assumed I would need that eventually anyway, but it did not give me any additional options for comment import (which I didn't really expect anyway, but it was worth a try).

Obviously, I'd like to be able to simply select "My Blog" from the import components list in !JoomlaComment and be able to pull in all of those comments... is there a simple piece of magic to do this? If not, can someone recommend the parameters I should use to do the import manually? Or any other guidance? This doesn't have to be an elegant or permanent fix... once the comments are imported I plan to use !JoomlaComment going forward.

Thanks!
