.. import-data::
===============================
Import other forums into Askbot
===============================
Askbot supports importing of data from StackExchange and Zendesk.
.. warning::
If your database contains any data prior to importing, please back it up before proceeding.
StackExchange
=============
Add `askbot.importers.stackexchange` to the list of `INSTALLED_APPS` list in your `settings.py`, then run::
python manage.py syncdb
Then there will be two ways to import your StackExchange dump:
* via the web at url `/import-data/`, relative to your forum installation
* using a management command::
python manage.py load_stackexchange /path/to/your-se-data.zip
Zendesk
=======
Add `askbot.importers.zendesk` to the list of `INSTALLED_APPS` in the `settings.py`,
run `python manage.py syncdb`.
Prepare your zendesk files: put all your .xml files into one directory and tar-zip it::
mkdir somedir
mv *.xml somedir #select the zendesk xml files and move them to the directory
tar cvfz zendesk.tgz somedir #name of the tgz file is not important
Then run the import script::
python manage.py import_zendesk zendesk.tgz #file name is the parameter
.. note::
It is possible that import script will make some mistakes in determining
which post in the group is the question, due to some specifics of zendesk
data format. If so, please enable feature
"Forum data rules"->"allow switching question with answer"
in :ref:`live settings <live-settings>` and use it in an admin or a moderator
account.
