Importing comments from Disqus into Drupal 7

When trying to move away from using Disqus comments in Drupal, I encountered a migration problem and did not find any ready-made solutions. As a result, I created a sandbox project on drupal.org. The module allows importing comments from the Disqus service into Drupal’s standard comment system.

The module provides settings to choose which available input format should be assigned to comments and how to form comment titles: leave empty, use the beginning of the comment text, or use the title of the content associated with the comment.

Setup and usage:

  • Install and enable the module.
  • Go to import.disqus.com and export your comments from Disqus in XML format. After completing the export, you will receive an archive with the XML file via email.
  • Go to the configuration page at admin/config/services/disqus-import.
  • Select the XML file obtained from the export.
  • Choose settings for Drupal comment creation.
  • Import.
