Re: Set HTML Globally
Hi Bernard,
Great to hear from you about this!
Yes i have been trying out the WordPress Importer and my concern is the amount of work for importing blogs that already have a number of pages and blog posts (the organisation i work with has 2 mature WordPress sites).
Currently, for each page imported, you need to go into the Properties tab and tick 'Allow HTML' and for every blog post you need to enclose the content in the HTML plugin tags. It would be great if the importer could automatically configure the 'Allow HTML' option for each page it imports, and for each post, add HTML plugin tags around the content.
Images embedded in pages and posts are an issue, and it would be great if the importer could import the image gallery and then resolve the tag src values to the new file paths in Tiki. WordPress markup like [caption] is also a problem. I am thinking i may be able to get around some of these issues if i write a program that parses the WordPress XML and makes some modifications to it, before loading this data into the Tiki Importer.
Finally, i have some pages that have the '&' character in the title, for example, a page entitled 'Members & Directors'. To create the url, WordPress ignores the '&' and the name in the path becomes members-directors. When these pages are imported into my Tiki Wiki, the '&' character causes a problem. The url Tiki has given this page is 'localhost/tiki/Members-?-Directors' and when i click to view the page i get the message 'Page not found Members-'. Tiki Importer could just ignore the '&' like WordPress does, and make the url for pages like that 'localhost/tiki/Members-Directors'.
Thanks!
Kate
