Re: [xwiki-users] Mindtouch to Xwiki

Hello, Thank you for your answer. Sorry to be late with this reply. This project was on hold until last week.  We have now one xwiki ready on a production server (RHEL7) and we are ready to begin with it. I tried a lot of way to import data into xwiki from mindtouch but without success. The only way I see right now is with manually with html pages. I can create a new page and insert the content in html format. Converted or not in xwiki syntax, we can work with that. All the links in the pages are working (and have to be corrected in the future to point to xwiki instead of the old one) We have to review all the pages and recreate or move the content progressively. A new structure will be applied and some of the pages will be useless. The goal, right now, is to have all pages (660) available directly in xwiki. That + the search tool will be enough. Then you need to have some code that does the looping over the 600 pages you got. This is a part I’m interested in. A way to not have to click, copy and paste with all the html pages. My knowledge is limited but I have some people around me to help me achieve things i can’t do by myself.

That would be awesome and it’s doable but we don’t have this yet.  However XWiki internally supports parsing HTML. First thing you can try is to enable HTML 4.01 syntax in your XWiki instance. Then create a new page, select HTML 4.01 as the page syntax and copy paste the HTML you got. Save. Then edit again and switch to XWiki Syntax 2.1 for example. This should convert the HTML to wiki markup. Now you’ll get some issues with this. Links are probably going to be off for example. So what you really need is to create an HTML importer to transform the HTML you got into an Annotated HTML format that XWiki supports. The Annotated HTML format is an internal format used by XWiki when you edit a page using the WYSIWYG editor and it’s a lossless format, meaning you can convert it to XWiki Syntax without loosing any meaning/data. This requires some knowledge of that format and some massaging of your HTML to transform it into this format. Then you need to have some code that does the looping over the 600 pages you got. This is quite technical. You’d need first to tell us your level of technical knowledge so that we could try to help you. Another option (the simplest for sure, especially if you’re not that technical or don’t have the time to delve deeply into the technical details) would be to contact one of the companies offering professional support for XWiki and asking them if they’d be interested in making a quote for doing this job for you.
