Re: [xwiki-users] Converting MediaWiki to Xwiki

[Tausif Hasan]

Thank you Paul and Vincent for your replies. I will take a look at the
scripts you have posted, but I must admit I am still effectively learning
much of this as I go along so I will do my best to work with the resources
provided.

Many thanks,
Tausif

[Paul Libbrecht]

Thanks Vincent for the reminder,

Tausif, I've shared my script using the tags migration and confluence on:
   
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/DownloadFromOtherWikiPage
If it is effective for you to migrate mediawiki, then please add the tag
mediawiki.

thanks

Paul

Hi Tausif,

You could check some of the extensions there: 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags?do=viewTag=migration

Beware that their level of quality may vary.

Also note that XWiki supports the medawiki syntax natively, see 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HChoosingaSyntax

Thanks
-Vincent

Re: [xwiki-users] Converting MediaWiki to Xwiki

[Paul Libbrecht]

Tasif,

what kind of automation level do you expect?
Do you feel like you'll have to adapt code anyways since there's some
special markup in your wiki?

I'm currently working on an import of an (old) confluence and
handcrafting will get me there.
The mediawiki and confluence situations are pretty similar: the syntaxes
are there but that's not it all for the conversion (e.g. list the pages,
get authorizations, access the source).

Part of the crafting included a tool to automatically upload attachments
(e.g. as images from a web-page or as local files), another is to search
replace a few things in the source because of our custom macro. I'll be
doing the final (about 80 pages) by manual invocation of each page at
the end.

Surely it's not a push-button system to get you there, but is probably
better mastered.
If you're ready to try to adapt the code (in Groovy, mostly done as if
it was Java), I'm happy to share.

Paul
