Ok, so CS's are how you do a blog. I've been blogging for 7 years. How do I import all those old postings? (No comments, in my case, so it's probably slightly easier.) Is there any standard (XML?) wrapping for that, and whether there is or not, is there any way to get things into and out of a Collaboration system to/from a text file? --- (Edited on 9/9/2007 2:24 pm [GMT-0500] by baylink) --- |

Currently, no, but it probably wouldn't be too hard using XML::Simple or XML::Parser and $asset->addChild($properties, $options); The one thing to look out for is the skipAutoCommitWorkflows option, which is necessary for this kind of work. Then at the end you can commit your version tag. As an aside, this is one area where I think WebGUI can shine if given the opportunity: Migrate your old site (HTML, WordPress, PHPBB, whatever). Just need some people to help with the work. --- (Edited on 9/9/2007 2:34 pm [GMT-0500] by preaction) --- |

This sounds like a great idea. I'll play the devil's advocate and suggest that WebGUI first get some of the features of the blogging websites before trying to migrate the data off. For example, there is no out-of-the-box way to show a list of months or a mini-calendar with links to days that have entries. To me, these are key components of a useful blogging solution.

I suspect rather strongly that you could simulate all that blogspot and blogger inspired sidebar trash that I don't give a crap about (:-) with SQLReports on the appropriate tables. Anyone know why there's so much out of order forum post displaying going on all of a sudden yesterday and today? --- (Edited on 9/10/2007 10:45 am [GMT-0500] by baylink) --- |
