[Solved] Import Button - not activating - Mac O/S - Version 1.04
I installed version 1.04 for Mac OS X, was able to connect to both my Wordpress and Drupal databases, but after selecting all options (# of records, format options, assigning Wordpress -> Drupal content types, etc) the Import button does not activate (stays greyed out). Is there a hitch somewhere to get the Import button to activate? When I click on the button 'Analyze Wordpress', I see my Wordpress info.
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone with a Mac, please confirm this. Unfortunately I can't test the Mac versions.

Perhaps it's just me but I'm not able to connect to a localhost database using using WpDrupal-Mac-1-04.app. I've confirmed that mysql is running with the following databases available:
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| crequine |
| deezone |
| deezone5 |
| deezone6 |
| deezonewp |
| mysql |
| test |
+--------------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
I'm using these settings when attempting to connect:
Host: localhost
Port: 3306
Database Name: deezonewp
Username: deezone
Password: ********
Table Prefex: wp_
I've confirmed that my local install of a WordPress 2.5 site connects to this database no problem. When attempting to connect it reports "Cannot connect to source database. Ending program now."
I was able to use WpDrupal-Mac-1-02.app to connect in the past with a WordPress 2.2.1 site. I don't have this site setup any more. Please let me know if you need me to run further test with the older version.
Thanks DeeZone, no need to check older versions.
For your host, rather than 'localhost' try '127.0.0.1', see what happens.

OK, so I'm an ass... connection to my databases is now being made and I'm NOT going to explain why ;)
Unfortunately, it's confirmed that the Import Button is not available. Further to this this following bugs exist:
1. Under the Basic Tab of the Importer Form, selecting the Preview Permalinks produces a listing of links that are blank AND the listing window cannot be closed. The only way to proceed is to exit the program.
2. Under the Content Type tab of the Importer Form, no defaults are offered for the attachment, page and post content types. It's also unclear to me what an "attachment" content type is, I assume it's associated to a specific WordPress "post"?!? At any rate, attachment I assume should be some type of image node in Drupal perhaps?
3. Under Published Settings tab, what the heck is Inherit? Perhaps this is new to WordPress 2.5?
******
The end result is ONCE ALL OF THESE SETTINGS ARE MADE the IMPORT BUTTON BECOMES AVAILABLE.

Perhaps adding some defaults will avoid the confusion or even some explanation text below the import button?
Nice work!!
Thanks Dee.
I'll take onboard your comments, they'll probably appear in the next release.
I've got no idea what "inherit" status is either, it just appears in Wordpress posts.
At least you got the "Import" button activated once all the relevant info was entered. Just need to wait for a response from the original poster, then take it further.
