Hi Brian that’s fine. Better to have the code in a place where it’s easilly modifiable for everyone

Thanks for sharing this! I just converted my blog from BlogCFC 5.9.3 to Wordpress 2.9.2. I made a few changes to the code to get my categories to transfer correctly, so I posted a modified version of this application to GitHub for anyone who wants it.

I hope I adequately credited you for the original work!

Strangely SQL won’t let me convert from ntext to text. weird.

I’m confirming that I’m on SQL2005, since then I could try nvarchar(max)

Weird I can’t recall if I set it as ntext or what, it’s been so long. grrr. LOL

Thanks for the insight.

Was your BCFC Database, set up with body and morebody as nText? Mine is and can’t recall if I did it. But in either case, the SQL doesn’t like those. They can’t be grouped, so I get an error that they can’t be used unless aggregated or something.

Any thoughts? My SQL hackery is pretty rusty, casting doesn’t seem to work either.

Hi John,

On the MSSQL BCFC database I tested on, the body and morebody fields were of type text. Maybe altering the columns to this type will do the trick.
