Any updates on this? I.e. the functionality to import from an old version of blog4umbraco to a new of blog4umbraco, maintaining the date folder structure?
Still working on it. will be an rss import btw. It might even be possible to keep the date structure but blog4Umbraco will always create a date structure for itself also.
Thanks for the reply. Do you mean that CMSImport will by default save all imported posts into a blog date folder for the current date? Or, if you correctly map the node creation date, will it organise all the posts into their appropriate folders maintaining the original folder structure from the import source?
No by default Blog4Umbraco stores the blogposts in the wrong folders when you map a different createDate. This is because its using the Created event which is fired when a document is created at first, after that you can manipulate the createdate but this won't move the document top the correct folder. I might dive into the Blog4Umbraco code to fix thi. Then all troubles are over.
Ah okay, that makes sense now. That would be very useful for me and I'm sure a lot of other people as well. If you do decide to go ahead with it please let me know. Thanks for your ongoing support.
Import data to multiple nodes (category, subcategory)
Great package!
It would be great to be able to import the data into categories and subcategories. Any plans for this feature?
Thanks.
Hi Chris,
Yes this is top priority for PRO version 2.0. Will be available Q1 2011.
Thanks,
Richard
