As this is the only option they give you to mass export, I installed the latest version but no matter what I do I keep getting the following error
Error when trying to validate the Data source
I have now stripped out the top <?xml decl and stripped it right out to just the blog tag, posts, and post elements - Added this as my Xpath expression
//blog/posts
But alas that error won't go away :( Anyone else got it working with BlogML XML?
Is the BlogML format using attributes? Currently CMSImport supports elements only. It's quite easy to extend though. Take a look at this blogpost I wrote to import blogposts through RSS.
Yes it would be awesome. I have plans to build it but it would be in a future release(2.x ). What I want to achieve is that you can specify both post and comment mapping and that CMSImport will figure out how to import the data. This will be free offcourse for the PRO version. but I'm also thinking of a CMSImport option pack that include custom DataAdapters like these for a reasonable price.
Did you downloa the source or copied pasted it? It seems that its missing the Datasource property... If its from the downloaded source please let me know So I can update the zip File.

Please let me know if you need more help on this?

Cool I'll have a look at that over the weekend :) BlogML support on Pro would be awesome ;)
