LiveJournal Importer broken in 3.0

[grahams]

I tried to import my LJ (grahams.livejournal.com) into a clean WordPress 3.0 installation. After inputting my LJ username and password, as well as a protected post password, I clicked the "Connect to Livejournal and Import" button. After it churned for awhile I got the following error:

Import LiveJournal

Warning: include(/var/www/wp3/wp-admin/import/livejournal.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp3/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on line 1378

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/var/www/wp3/wp-admin/import/livejournal.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/wp3/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on line 1378

Fatal error: Call to a member function step1() on a non-object in /var/www/wp3/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on line 1379

Here's part of what needs to happen to fix this, on the core WP side. The remainder needs to happen with the Livejournal import plugin.

Patch still applies. Can we at least get rid of that vestige LJ importer code in admin-ajax, please?

Then switch it back to WordPress.org.

Diff for the importer attached. Will commit there but I don't have anything to easily test this on and I don't feel like releasing a borked 0.3 version.

patched importer works for me

Going to commit this.

Tagged v0.20 in prep for updating and then Tagging v0.30.

It may be worth renaming the AJAX action so it doesn't clash with the vestige.

@nacin: I have to say I think this line in your patch might not be needed ;-)

include( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/import/livejournal.php' );

Indeed, that's just a copy-paste vestige from admin-ajax.

Updated the Importer Plugin.

Testing != fun when you get blocked for hitting the API too much

(In [16293]) Chop this off as we don't need it anymore. Fixes #13960 props filosofo.

New plugin version is live.
Worked for me with my new test LJ site.
