Re: Import a blog?

I'm sure its technically possible but there is nothing automatic to do it. You would have to write queries to map the data from an existing blog into mojoportal tables.

Best,

Joe

Re: Import a blog?

Wow.... any plans to implement a actual automated plan for this?  The DotNetBlogEngine.net has a tool that could probably be leveraged.

Re: Import a blog?

I have no immediate plans to work on that but I'm all for it if someone else wnats to work on that.

there is some work underway to support the MetaWebLog API. Currently Tom Oppgenorth has it working with Windows Live Writer. Maybe the same API work can be used/extended for pushing data into the mojo blog from other sources.

Joe

Re: Import a blog?

Hello Joe,

I did import the blog from dnn to mojo, but when I open any entry it says that the page does not exist. I check to see if any entry has a phisical page , but it is not the case, so there is something in the building of the dynamic page that I didnt catch. what.

you can see here http://astrologiavedica.org/mp1/ano-2-de-astrologia-vedica.aspx

(the second entry and below are imported)

Any help is welcome.

I did the import with linq.

Best Wishes

Evencio

Re: Import a blog?

Hi,

You need to create rows for the friendly urls in the mp_FriendlyUrls table. When you create the rows, you should populate the PageGuid field in mp_FriendlyUrls with the BlogGuid from the mp_Blogs table.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Import a blog?

Hi Gianmarco,

It is on our road map to implement import/export for the blog but no one is working on it right at the moment, so if you would like to work on it that is possible. It will take a good deal of research to do it right. You will need to study the existing code for the blog and you will need to know about RSS format and/or BlogML, ideally we would be able to import and export from either format. Ideally you would implement it against the blog business objects not directly at the database level unless new methods are needed (because we support a lot of databases). Basically parsing the feed and then using business layer methods to create the content in mojoportal blog.

Also, the current blog comment system will be replaced with a new comment system later as described also on the road map. My plan was to wait until the new comment system is in place before implementing import/export since people will also want to import/export comments. But I leave it up to you if you want to implement import/export in the current blog comment system.

You would need to sign a contributor agreement and return it to me, and or if your employer owns copyright to work you produce then your employer must also sign it.

Best,

Joe
