Re: 3.1 installation

Ken,

How do you propose I do this?

I have been looking at all the available plugins, but I
don't see anything
that can do what you suggest.

The only thing I do see is the Feed Import Plugin, but that
requires a URL
and a RSS field to import.

I did find the Export Blog Plugin, which saves your blog as
an XML file.

What would be slick is to find a way to import this XML file
of entries...I
think this would be beneficial for many reasons:

1) the ability to back up your blog in a format other than
backing up the
database
2) easier to upgrade from 2 to 3 (it certainly is for me)

So I think I'll have to create a custom plugin for this...or
am I missing
something...?

Regards,

Richard M. Spackmann

You can try exporting all of the blojsom 2 entries into a
feed and then
importing them into your new blojsom 3 installation.  I
haven't tried it
but it sounds pretty straight-forward.

An excellent point Ken,

I don't know why there are different URLS, I would think
that only one
would
suffice (I don't see how blog-admin and blog-base-admin
can't be
constructed
from blog-home).

Also, does anyone have a better upgrade tool from 2 to 3?
Specifically,
I am
looking for something just to read in the old entry files
and just store
them into the Database - I do NOT need all the other
configuration files
to
be copied over.

I think a much easier approach to upgrading would be to
simply install a
fresh 3.1 and then simply read the entry files and load into
DB.

(I have tried the upgrade tool and its going no where fast
:(

Here's a SQL query which you can run to update every blog
simultaneously.  Just replace yourSite.com and yourBlogDir
with your own
url.

UPDATE properties SET property_value =
REPLACE(property_value,
'http://www.yourSi
te.com/yourBlogDir',
'http://www.
yourNewSite.com/yourNewBlogDir') WHERE property_name =
'blog-base-url' OR property_name = 'blog-base-admin-url' OR
property_name = 'blog-admin-url' OR property_name =
'blog-url';

As I was thinking about it, why is the full URL hard coded
into each
blog four times?  Is there a situation where one value would
ever need
to have a different base url than the rest?

The URLs for the CSS files and redirects are generated based
on certain 
values in PROPERTIES table the database. Your best bet is to
edit the 
SQL file before running the initial creation script or to go
in to the 
database and update the relevant values. In particular:
blog-url
blog-admin-url
blog-base-url
blog-base-admin-url

Some like:
UPDATE properties SET property_value = 'http://localhost/blog/d

WHERE property_name = 'blog-url';

etc...

Once that is all done and working you should be able to edit
those 
values from the admin page in the application itself (i.e.
if you wanted

to change the localhost to site.com or whatever)

Hope this helps,

The Export Blog plugin should be making an RSS feed of the
entire blog.
I'm pretty sure that you feed the XML file from the export
to the Feed
Import plugin.  I recall hearing David say he did something
similar to
upgrade his blog.  I used the upgrade script instead since I
needed to
keep the settings for each blog.
