armstrong.utils.importers.wordpress
Utilities for transitioning to Armstrong from Wordpress
Warning
This is development level software. Please do not unless you are familiar with what that means and are comfortable using that type of software.
Usage
armstrong.utils.importers.wordpress imports Wordpress xml export files into an
armstrong installation. The importer assumes that the database is empty except
for whatever may have been added during a syncdb. The importer will create
armstrong.apps.articles.models.Article objects for each post and
django.contrib.flatpages.models.FlatPage objects for each page object.
To run the importer, navigate to the root of the project you want to import
into and run armstrong import_wp /path/to/your/export.xml. The command
accepts a --dryrun parameter that doesn't actually alter the database.
Installation
name="armstrong.utils.importers.wordpress" pip install -e git://github.com/armstrong/$name#egg=$name
