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

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.

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.

I’ll make sure to post on my site, as well as on here, if and when I
get somewhere.

Please do a write something up on this. If you do a good job on it I’ll
include it in the core.
