this script can be used to convert your existing Movable Type blog/database to a ikiwiki blog.
|
|
|
|
First, go to your MT Admin panel and purge all spam comments/trackbacks. Then use this script: <http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/MovableType/mtdump_to_iki.pl>
|
|
|
|
If you wrote your posts with markdown already you're pretty much ikiwiki compatible :-)
|
|
|
|
DATABASE_NAME=your_mt_database
|
|
DATABASE_USER=your_mysql_user
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p conv/posts
|
|
|
|
mysqldump $DATABASE_NAME -v -nt --compatible=ansi,postgresql \\
|
|
--complete-insert=TRUE --extended-insert=FALSE --compact \\
|
|
--default-character-set=UTF8 -u $DATABASE_USER \\
|
|
| perl mtdump_to_iki.pl
|
|
|
|
the script will spit out one file for every post into the conv/posts directory. you can manually clean them up or however you like. next, you must set the output directory where your ikiwiki resides:
|
|
|
|
export OUT=$HOME/my_ikiwiki_blog
|
|
|
|
make sure there is a 'posts' subdirectory inside (default if you start with the blog-setup script)
|
|
|
|
now you can import one or all posts and comments by running the post file through zsh:
|
|
|
|
zsh ./1__my_first_post.mdwn
|
|
|
|
or to do it all:
|
|
|
|
zsh
|
|
for import (<->__*.*) { zsh $import }
|
|
|
|
the files will be created in your $OUT directory and committed onto git. now the **important** last step: run
|
|
|
|
ikiwiki --gettime --setup your.setup
|
|
|
|
only with the gettime flag will ikiwiki reread the file dates as recorded in the git. Enjoy!
