Re: [Radiant] Backdating posts when moving to Radiant
Are you using Mechanize to import pages into Radiant? That was actually the fastest way I could think off to get my data in there i.e. the code I used for the login: http://www.pastie.org/501391 I can figure out which article number a page has given the page's title as long as it is not a 2nd lvl child (because the page hierarchy is not expanded, the page does not return all links and I can't see a way of clicking the small + sign with mechanize) But that doesn't present a problem for me since I have a root/section/article hierarchy and I only want to add articles to sections.

Cheers, V.- Hi Vassilis In my opinion, using script/runner to run a script to insert the pages is likely to be easier. It's more Rails-based (so if you understand Rails, it's easy) than in the case of using Mechanize. It also completely avoids the necessity to tune to the API.

I went the mechanize way in order to pump the data into Radiant and everything works fine. Small nag: none of the forms have names, means one needs to pretty print the mechanize output and figure out where in the array to find a form in. All in all about 50 line of code, so I can't complain.

Re: [Radiant] Backdating posts when moving to Radiant
The publication date field on the Page model is published_at. Just give it a Date/Time/DateTime object when saving.
