Questions answered by this recipeHow do I convert the content of a MediaWiki site to a PMwiki site? DescriptionThis recipe provides a method for loading the pages from a Mediawiki site into PMWiki using XML extract and file creation. It only brings across page information it is not a full converer 1)In mediaWiki create the XML extract file as follows a)Use the all pages option to list all your pages (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:AllPages)
b)Use the export as HTML option to extract pages in to a file (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Export)
2) rename that file Mwiki.xml and place it in the subdirectory cookbook/filemaker/ along with this file 3) create a directory called 'newfiles' at the top level and set security so you can write to it 4) run this file by including it in the config file 5) move the new files from 'newfiles' to the wiki.d directory 6) disable this file in config and tidy up. NotesRelease Notes2008-09-06 first release - created by ChrisC following a MediaWiki disaster and a need to load my 1000 page wiki (built in MediaWiki a few years ago) into PMWiki which is now my prefered wiki. you can see the created site at http://waylandsgames.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/LinInfo/Linrodeth See AlsoContributorsCommentsQ. Is there a way to add plugins/recipes from Mediawiki into PMWiki? If that were so, PMWiki's capabilities would increase dramatically. -Chris Sept. 7, 2008 |
