export announcements from phpWebSite into serendipity

Post by spiritquest »

I'm about to take on transferring years worth of announcements and posts from a phpWebSite installation into serendipity. I wondered if anyone has attempted this or if the developers might have some tips that I could use.

I've thought of exporting the phpws data into an RSS feed format and then importing it.

Maybe even a direct query to import into serendipity database . . . suggestions welcome.

Hi!

If you know some PHP or SQl, you might be able to write a simple importer for it. HAve a look at the files in include/admin/importers/ - those are pretty easy and you might be able to suit your phpWebsite needs?

HTH,
