Hi smallhagrid,

>> 2. Must be able to import existing items.

> Depends on format

As far as I understand, you want to achieve the following:

  • Several .txt FILES (or whatsoever format - .txt should be one of the least problematic)

  • Convert the FILES into DATABASE ENTRIES - given you want to convert the .txt files into wiki pages.


I have no idea, if that is possible.

Maybe a linux crack who also has a decent knowledge in MySql could write a script for that.

The script must "fetch" the text out of each file and write it into a mysql table.

If you analyse the structure of a typical wikipage table of a Tiki database I can imagine, that it would be possible with some kind of Regex Search and Replace.

Maybe with a similar method it would also be possible to add certain information into the textfile, which makes it a database table and then rename it.

If all that is done, you could import the tables into the Tiki database.

I think it is possible, but to do so the first time would need either a very high specific knowledge or a good amount of time.

I think a very interesting problem - I start to get some appetite ;-)

How many Textfiles you have, which must be converted?

Cheers
