retaining old comments while moving to fb comments
I have some comments in several articles, posted by people without registering. After I opt for fb comments, what happens to these ? Can I have both fb comments and my old comments ?
Currently, I use myblog and jomcomments and am considering easyblog.

Hello Preetham,
I am sorry but you can't actually have multiple comment systems in EasyBlog at the current version but this is made possible in EasyBlog 3.5. If you want, I could add some hacks to help you load multiple comment systems in your site.If you need help, do visit our documentations below,

Hello Preetham,
The current version of EasyBlog is 3.0.7796. EasyBlog 3.5 will be the next update for EasyBlog
I am sorry but there's no ETA on this yet right now.

If I understand you correctly, with the hack, different users can select different comment systems including easyblog's native comment system. Correct ?
But once a person has chosen a particular one, can he change his selection ?
Further, my original question is still unaswered; the one about retaining old comments (easyblog native), perhaps imported from jomcomment, while allowing (with hack) to allow users to select another system. -
Hello Preetham,
They don't actually choose which comment system they want to use but there's 2 different comment system shown in the blog post itself.
As for the old comments, I am not too sure if I get you correctly but do you mean you want to import them over to EasyBlog? If so, yes you can actually migrate the comments over to EasyBlog when you migrate the blog posts from MyBlog.If you need help, do visit our documentations below,

currently i have jomcomment and myblog with comments in several articles by non-member commenters. I don't want to lose these.
So I import w/ your plugin to easyblog. Now they are in easyblog's commenting system .
Now, say, u help me patch it such that users can select a commenting system in the post (fb, intensedebate, disqus, easyblog)
When fb comment is added, everyone should still be able to see the old imported comments in easyblog comment format in my site's page. I understand only the fb ones will show up in fb . -
Hello Preetham,
Yes, correct. Once the comments and blog posts are imported into EasyBlog, they will appear under the comments section of EasyBlog. If you want to have Facebook comments running side by side with the built in comments of EasyBlog, I'll need to patch it up for you But users can either post comments via the normal comment form or via Facebook comments (They have 2 options not one )

Having imported comments, some of the comments are replies to user's queries and so would look nicer if indented below the respective queries. How do I do this ?
-
Hello Preetham,
Sorry but I don't quite get you on this. Can I know which comments system did you imported from? -
jomcomment
-
Hello Preetham,
Ah, unfortunately the migrator doesn't actually migrate the 'parent/child' relations from JomComment :( -
Is there a way I can manually set the parent-child relationship, since they are not too many ?
-
Hello Preetham,
You can actually access the phpmyadmin to change the left and right values in the tables if you want.
