How to import your data into Typo
There are several import scripts available to import your existing blog into Typo. For example, you can import a WordPress blog into Typo.
These scripts can be found under db/converters/xxxxx.rb
To run these scripts, use them from the command line. Each converter takes specialized parameters, so check what they are by running --help first.
Example:cd db/converters ruby wordpress.rb --help
An example call:
ruby wordpress.rb --db wordpress-database
Q: What to do when you aren't using a relational DB for your original blog? I'm using the default BDB setup for MT. --zenspider
A: Make a copy of your MT blog and run the script that they provide to move it from BDB to a real DB. Then import from there. --scott
