{email} and {url} returning admins info, not comment authors info

Question

I’m trying to use these two template systems (xml templates, php enabled) to export EE (EE core version 2.7) blog entries into WordPress .wxr import format:

These two templates are in a template group called export. One template is called index, and the other is called comments. I open index in a new window and view source to see the .wxr data.

The one template directly below (I was using this before a two template system was suggested) outputs the four blog posts with the status="Home Featured" and all the comments, but the comments don't have the original author or URL but has the admins info, as noted in the original question title.

9/12/13 edit: *This two template system breaks:* index only outputs one blog post and I don't think it correctly passes the blog post info to the comments template (so that the comments are linked by post ID to the blog post) because upon WP import, WP says the author doesn't exist and doesn't import any comments.

Answer 1

Saw your post in meta - maybe a new answer which distills the entire thread you and Anna have created will be of help?

You do need two templates. The first will begin your document, and then list each channel entry, and then close the document. Within that template's channel:entries loop, you will embed your "comments" template, which will run once for every entry, and will list all comments for that particular entry, based on the entry_id you pass it via the embed.

So, using your code, the first template looks like this:

<rss version="2.0"
    xmlns:excerpt="http://wordpress.org/export/1.1/excerpt/"
    xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"

        {embed="blog/comments" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
    </item>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Then, inside of blog/comments:

{exp:comment:entries sort="desc" entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"}
        <wp:comment>
            <wp:comment_id>{comment_id}</wp:comment_id>

            <wp:comment_author_url>{url}</wp:comment_author_url>
            <wp:comment_author_IP>{ip_address}</wp:comment_author_IP>
            <wp:comment_date>{comment_date format="%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s"}</wp:comment_date>
            <wp:comment_date_gmt>{gmt_comment_date format="%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s"}</wp:comment_date_gmt>
            <wp:comment_content><![CDATA[{comment}]]></wp:comment_content>
            <wp:comment_approved>1</wp:comment_approved>
            <wp:comment_type></wp:comment_type>
            <wp:comment_parent>0</wp:comment_parent>
            <wp:comment_user_id>0</wp:comment_user_id>
        </wp:comment>
{/exp:comment:entries}

(The reason the comments chunk needs to be embedded is because there can be variable collisions between the channel:entries tag and the comment:entries tag.)

Answer 2

Try adding dynamic="no" to your exp:comment:entries tag. I would also add the channel="" parameter to the tag:

{exp:comment:entries sort="desc" entry_id="{embed:entry_id}" dynamic="no" channel="XXXX"}

Also, confirm that {embed:entry_id} is printing out the correct ID in your embed.

---

If that doesn't work, make sure your exp:comment:entries is NOT inside a exp:channel:entries tag.

---

EDIT (September 10, 2013)
Your templates must be setup correctly to get the data you are wanting. From what I think you're trying to do, you need to setup this way with two templates. My code sample below is really dumbed down.

In your first template add the channel:entries tag and add an {embed} tag to a second template to which you pass the entry's {entry_id}.

{exp:channel:entries channel="blog"} 
    {embed="blog/comments" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
{/exp:channel:entries}

In the second template, you call the entry_id using {embed:entry_id} in the comment:entries tag.

{exp:comment:entries entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"}
{/exp:comment:entries}

NOTE: This will be resource intensive if you are printing out lots and lots of data. I wouldn't only use this to do a one off export of entries and comments which seems to be what you're doing. If you get a white screen, you will need to increase PHP memory or limit the number of entries that you are calling.
