Hi Tarunjit,

You could try to take a look at the CMSImport from http://soetemansoftware.nl/, with the CMSImport you can import content or members from any datasource into Umbraco.

You can find the space for the package on Our here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/cmsimport

Hope this could be a solution,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the help.

What you mean here is that CMS Import will import all the tables data (Blog Posts data) from BlogEngine.Net database infromation to Umbraco database.

It means CMS import will do one of the two things :-

a. CMS Import will create new tables in Umbraco database which will contain all the imported data from BlogEngine.Net to Umbraco data base. 

OR

b. CMS Import will simply import data from BlogEngine database tables to already existing Umbraco data base tables.

Can yoiu please confirm if my understanding is correct or not? If yes then please let us know which one of the two will be truw.

Also we have posted one more query regarding Umbraco support for managing blog posts "http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/54663-Umbraco-Support-For-Creating-Blog-Posts", to which we have got reply is that we should use Articulate. It means Umbraco7.1.4 doesnot support Blog Posts and we have to use Articulate. 

Waiting for your help on this.

Hi Tarunjit,

Umbraco comes blank out of the box and that's why you don't see a blog /faq/news out of the box. It's easy to create thos via packages. I wrote CMSImport but if you are planning to use Articulate you can use the import functionality of Articulate. Export your blogengine posts as BlogML and import those into Articulate.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually i am new to Umbraco and have just started working on this and still looking for the best possible way which i could use to import information about all of my legacy blog posts from BlogEngine.Net database to Umnbraco database.

Please help me which of the method i should use for this and also it would be very helpful for me if you could share some of the links for the same which could guidl me to import all of my legacy blog posts from BlogEngine.Net data base to Umbrac0 data base.

Regards

Hi,

Like I mentioned above. Just install Umbraco and install the Articulate package use the import function to import the BlogML formatted export file. For some basic info about Umbraco watch the free video's about the basics on umbraco.tv.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Hi,

Select the zip file no need to unpack. Isn't that mentioned in the description when uploading the files?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Best to ask for support on that one on the Articulate package forum.

Best,

Richard

Hi Tarunjit,

You have asked your question at the right place.

It´s always a good thing to ask questions about a specific packages in the forum for the package you use, like you just did for the Articulate package.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the confirmation. 

But still got no response on this from Articulate package forum.
