I have a commenter on my blog that ran into this problem as well and was rather frustrated by it. – charlesj, on September 05, 2008 14:05

I manually updated the post I referenced because it was a memorial to a dead friend. I made a post last night. This morning I found the same problem. One comment on Intense Debate, 3 on blogger.

Thanks for contacting me Lisa. What is the URL of the site where you are encountering this? Also, what web browser are you using? – Michael Koenig, on September 03, 2008 23:33

I'm hesitant to post it to the import panel since this has only been used by a handful of people and since we didn't write it. Josh has a new version? Maybe I got my versions mixed up. – Michael Koenig, on September 03, 2008 22:46

Joey can you direct me to a post where blogger comments are still loading before IntenseDebate? I checked out the link you provided above and had no issue loading IntenseDebate. What browser are you using?

Thanks,
Michael

I have just signed up for intense debate through my local news channel website so that i could post a comment about a news story, but everytime i hit the submit button, the little spinny icon appears for a minute then up pops the above error message about connection issues and timing out but i know i am connected to the web. I'm not a computer savvy person so i don't understand why this is happening.

I would like to express my gratitude to Josh for the plugin. Without it, my IntenseDebate comments would have been stuck in limbo. :) – Yoo, on September 03, 2008 11:53

PS: You have an old version of the plugin. I suggest you ask Josh for a new version or even better, post this thing on the import panel somewhere for others to find – db0, on September 03, 2008 10:50

Thanks again for all the help Josh. I'll write a post at some point on how to use your plugin in Dreamhost. – db0, on September 03, 2008 10:49

Josh Fraser replied on September 03, 2008 07:07 to the question "How to migrate IDC comments from Blogger to self-hosted Wordpress" in Intense Debate:

The error message you are getting is regarding a function called simplexml_load_file(). Apparently this function relies on allow_url_fopen() which is blocked by your host.

What you need to do is use a standard curl to fetch the file and then use simplexml_load_string() to parse it. This will get you around using the function that is blocked by your host.

Basically you need to find the line that says:

$comments = simplexml_load_file($comments_url);

and change it to:

$comments_str = simple_curl($comments_url);
$comments = simplexml_load_string($comments_str);

That should do it. If not, let me know and I'll help you the best I can.

A comment on the question "How to migrate IDC comments from Blogger to self-hosted Wordpress" in Intense Debate:

Blogger's handling of custom domains seems to be broken for now, so I can't even switch back to the blogspot domain. Besides, the comments are in XML with no way of being imported. – Yoo, on September 03, 2008 05:54

I'll try to see if I can do it myself but I sincerely hope someone can help

I think I may spoil your statistics though. It seems that it failed for me.



I'm going to try and contact the author and see if he can help

Can't you access your blogger site from the old domain? something like blah.blogspot.com or whatever? – db0, on September 03, 2008 05:23
