Hi Nick (and others who might be interested), So I got a bit further yesterday...
This is the original site.. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com .. but I hope to before we launch. More concerned about getting 2 years worth of articles and blogs migrated to Plone (look & feel is not a priority at this point) Here is the one entry that actually made it through... http://demo1.csquaredtech.com/import-test/78 and when I run a port I get the following... Error Type BadRequest Error Value The id "78" is invalid - it is already in use. Request made at 2006/06/22 10:54:01.238 GMT-7 Which I'm guessing means that two blogs got assigned id "78"? Taking a look at that today .. seems like a minor fix.. so now I need to figure out how to get the author and comments to migrate (last modified date would be good too ..but I'm not sure that's feasible) Do I need to setup the bloggers with user ids/membership before I port so it won't assign "admin" (which is me). Also, can I set up a blog per blogger.. at the moment my client has four bloggers.. I know Quills allows for multiple blogs (I've used it for clients before) but wonder if it's ok to have more than one blog with COREBlog2 is ok. BTW, I used the right export script the first time.. didn't get past "start!".. and then tried using the export entries button in the zmi (orig site) and it didn't work either.. BUT I actually have the export working and I'm THIS close to getting this migration script working! Thanks for the tips Nick! Donna M. Snow Nick Owen wrote: > On 6/21/06, *Donna M.
