Hi All Just came upon Radiant and am busy porting my site as rapidly as possible. Just wondering if their are any handy scripts for moving textpattern posts to radiant. I’m not looking to maintain everything, just move all my posts into radiant as children of a single page. A quick database looks brings up the following, with radiant table details on the left and textpattern on the right. I ask before I get stuck in to some scripting, which if I do will make sure to make available just in case. id title {Title} slug {Title\_html} breadcrumb {Title\_html} parent\_id 2 layout\_id NULL behavior\_id status\_id 100 created\_at {Posted} updated\_at {LastMod} published\_at {Posted} created\_by 1 updated\_by 1 virtual 0 id name body filter\_id content {body\_html} page\_id Thanks in advance G – Gareth Rushgrove [morethanseven.net](http://morethanseven.net) [webdesignbookshelf.com](http://webdesignbookshelf.com) [refreshnewcastle.org](http://refreshnewcastle.org) > **[Domain is Parked](http://frontendarchitecture.com)** > > This domain is parked at DreamHost ---

Unfortunately, I don’t believe there are really many converters built to do it. Even though there is some inspiration taken from TxP, Radiant is a different monster. It isn’t necessarily intended for blogs (even John uses Mephisto for his blog), so comments and things may be something of a chore to port over beings it requires a custom behavior to implement them. For a company website, it kicks ass. One thing to consider if you do code one up yourself, is to probably have some trigger to look for a specific section in the TxP database to port into a certain area of the Radiant database. Once an article/child is placed, it can’t be moved easily. If you do manage to come up with something, I am sure several will be able to make use of it though. I am currently building a couple sites in Radiant (my business site and one for a local group of comic artists). I am taking it slow right now and building out sites I know will work and using the plugins that are available to see what I can do.

For a company website, it kicks ass. Agree from impressions so far. On the Textpattern front I’m not too bothered about comments and the whole blog setup - I’m planning on moving about 100 posts across as children of an articles page. I reckon this will cover the majority of cases of this sort of migration - at least as far as anything non bespoke could. Anyway, I’ll get it to do what I need to do and then expand if anyone else ever needs it. > One thing to consider if you do code one up yourself, is to probably > have some trigger to look for a specific section in the TxP database > to port into a certain area of the Radiant database.
