[TYPO3-english] importing wordpress site to TYPO3, suggestions?

[Kay Strobach]

Hi Katja,

first you need to be sure, what you need to import - make a list.

Typical items in wordpress are:

 - articles
 - pages

Both can be easily read and written from and to a database with around
400 Lines of Code, all you have to do is some table / field mapping.

Additionally you should check for tags like:

[code][/code]

And links and fix them (mapping table with replace needed here)

I would say should be done in a workday (if you do not have any complex
plugins, like osm, ...) ;)

If you want to split pages into different ce's it's a bit more complex,
but should be solvable too.

Regards
Kay
