[xwiki-users] Convert existing Intranet to XWiki
To all, We want to replace our existing Intranet with XWiki. Our current Intranet is a bunch (100's) of HTML pages with text and hyperlinks. Can we import/convert our existing Intranet pages to XWiki? If so, which steps should we take? Of is this impossible and should we just create XWiki pages by hand? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Convert-existing-Intranet-to-XWiki-tp71954...

XWiki supports HTML as content of pages. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HChoosingaSynt... The hyperlinks will not get transformed into relative links though, they'll stay absolute. You'll need to manually edit them to make them local links. Once you have the content of a page in HTML you can edit it and choose XWiki Syntax 2.0 or 2.1 and the content will get transformed into wiki syntax. An alternative to all this is to create a new page, edit it in the wysiwyg and use the insert HMTL menu button to insert the whole HTML. Last you should be able to script all this using the XWiki XMLRPC or better the REST interface.
If so, which steps should we take? Of is this impossible and should we just create XWiki pages by hand?
That's also possible :) Thanks -Vincent

Note that you can also use the ZipExplorer to support part of the HTML as is without supporting modifying them. You just need to attach an HTML tree (that does not have absolute internal links) and you can serve it from XWiki. It is best to import your HTML tree in Wiki pages though.
