pyFlarum Bulk Discussions

A pyFlarum script that allows you to automatically create discussions from markdown text files in a directory.

Usage

https://github.com/cwkevo/pyflarum-bulk-discussions

Download/clone the repository. cd into repository root.

Put your text files you'd wish to create as discussions in /discussions.
The file name (without extension) will be used as the title of the discussion. The file contents will be used as the body of the discussion. Markdown format is supported.

python -m bulk_discussions -f <your forum URL> -u <your account username> -p <account password>

Example:

python -m bulk_discussions -f https://flarum.example.com -u admin -p cooladmin123

SKevo Hello, Hello, sorry. I was troubled by some work, which made me forget this post.
Luckily, I recalled it (it's not something to be proud of)
My local device is windows. After downloading the pyflarum-bulk-discussions you provided, I created some test markdown files in the discussions folder, and then executed the following code in powershell, but there was no change in my forum and no new posts were created.
The following is the command I changed. I confirm that the relevant fields I filled in are correct. Due to privacy, I have replaced the URL, user name and password with the relevant URL and user of the forum

python -m bulk_discussions -f https://test.flarum.org/ -u testuser -p testpassword

@GreXXL thank you 🤗

JerryYang could you check what's the output of that command, please?

I don't understand. The powershell terminal I use
This is my situation.

And then this is the output tab, and he doesn't have any logs.

JerryYang I later tried to write the account and url into the code and ran successfully
I will add this code

    parser = ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--forum_url', '--url', '-f', help='Forum URL to create discussions for.', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--username', '-u', help='Username to log into.', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--password', '-p', help='Password for the user.', required=True)
    args = parser.parse_args()

        USER = FlarumUser(forum_url=args.forum_url, username_or_email=args.username, password=args.password)

Change to

    FORUM_URL = "https://test.org/"
    USERNAME = "testuser"
    PASSWORD = "testpassword"

        USER = FlarumUser(forum_url=FORUM_URL, username_or_email=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)
