I'm looking to migrate away from mindtouch (many reasons, not the least of which is
the abandoning of Core and going to a cloud only model) and am considering XWiki (also
TikiWiki and BlueSpice). Is it possible to migrate an existing installation of mindtouch
to xwiki? We have over 4000 pages and MANY file attachments, so a manual migration
(manually moving each page) would not be desirable. Any help or advice on migrating would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

New subject: [xwiki-users] Is database migration possible from Mindtouch v.10 to xwiki?
Hi Jason,
I don't know of any existing Mindtouch converter to XWiki. However there are several
handmade converter tools on http://extensions.xwiki.org that could serve as examples.
What is the markup syntax used by Mindtouch? I have the feeling they only provide HTML
which would be fine since XWiki's Rendering can convert HTML into wiki markup for
example (or keep it as HTML too).
So converting a page would be:
* Read the export format from Mindtouch (what is it? XML?)
* Use the XWiki API to create a wiki page, convert the HTML content to wiki markup (easy
to do), add attachments
Also note that Thomas Mortagne (one of the XWiki committer) is currently working on a wiki
stream API that is an ideal scaffolding for importing/exporting wikis:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/wiki-stream . But there's non trivial dev work to be
done to make it work.
Another idea is to contact one of the companies providing professional services around
XWiki and ask them how much it would cost for a conversion:

Hope it helps,
-Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the fast response.
Here are some more details about the mindtouch export.
It appears that it can export pages as HTML, but is limited to about 100
pages and 150 mb - our installation is over 4000 pages, and the
attachments are much MUCH more than 150 mb. I was looking more towards a
db dump (mysql). We have AD integration setup and restrict certain pages
to certain AD groups - and would like to include that in the migration
(however, as long as xwiki can apply access restrictions to child pages,
then this wouldn't be too big of an issue to do manually).
I'll also reach out to one (or more) of the professional support groups.
Thanks again,
Jason Letanosky

Hi, Jason
Export-import is a solution, BUT most possible it won't solve the problem: all access
rights won't be copied as desired.
Probably it would be better to split 4K pages into per-project (or else) basis and do it
one by one. Otherwise it would be a big mess with access rights.
I had a bit similar migration in a near past with a complex access rights system. Customer
had 5 (!) sources of information we had to combine in one knowledgebase. One of them it
was XWiki 2.5.
First of all, we described a FULL infrastructure of existing and desired knowledgebase
with all employees/clients roles, user groups and access rights. Then, according to
requirements we developed wiki structure.
Migration plan included the requirement, that we can't stop production at all.
So, finally, we moved every project one by one, setting up corresponding access rights.
Now it has 39+ subwikis (two of them are public) and 200+ users that are happy to use all
power of XWiki :-)
Thus, try to trace whole migration and probably, there are other solutions, then verbatim
DB export-import.
Kind regards,
Dmitry

New subject: [xwiki-users] FileSystem Attachment
Hello All,
I am trying to change my attachment storage method from database to file system in my XEM
5.1 but when I set "file" in the xwiki.conf and try to enter in my wiki the
Xwiki doesn’t recognize the hint "file". Is the file system attachment storage
available in XEM 5.1?
Root cause:
org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Can't find descriptor for the
component [role = [interface com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiRecycleBinStoreInterface] hint =
[file]]
Thank you!

There's no "file" XWikiRecycleBinStoreInterface implementation… There's
one for the AttachmentRecycleBinStore though.
See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Attachments#HAttachment…
xwiki.store.attachment.hint = file
xwiki.store.attachment.versioning.hint = file
xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint = file
Could you show us exactly what you've changed in xwiki.cfg?
Thanks

Hello Vincent,
You are right... I made a mistake configuring xwiki.cfg file... I had set
xwiki.store.recyclebin.hint instead of xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint.
Now it is working
Thank you,
Danilo
