Re: [Radiant] Importing Movable Type blog?
Looking at the code of Mephisto [1] some days ago, I casually discovered a plugin [2] for importing from various blog-engine. Perhaps you can find some inspiration from that.

I'd hate to go cut and paste all 100 posts. I'd start off by creating an extension [1], then creating a Rake task in that extension to read in some XML export file and then create the Radiant Pages as needed. The extension's rake file will give you easy access to all of Radiant's classes and database. You might also be able to do a SQL dump and then do enough find/replaces on the SQL to bring it into Radiant's database, but I'm not sure how close the schemas are. -- J Aaron Farr jadetower.com[US] +1 724-964-4515 馮傑仁 cubiclemuses.com [HK] +852 8123-7905 [1] http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Creating_Radiant_Extensions ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

That gives me an even better idea (in terms of I'm lazy and it's small): I could read the SQL dump, or even the RSS feed, and then script a browser session to post it to the Radiant site. Hey, I can probably even do that with AppleScript on the Mac... open two browser tabs and flip between them. So many choices.
