Hello,

i am trying to convert our existing Wiki to Xwiki.

To reach this goal, i am trying to export the existing data into an xar file hat i can import into xwiki.

What i am missing is a description of the xml file format.

Where can i find this?

There is no formal description AFAIK, the best is to export a page in XWiki and too look at the result to see what it's looks like. Another if you are using java is to create a XWikiDocument java object and call toXML on it to export the document.

Thanks for help Thomas

I already tried that and it is working for basic pages. Problem is the changelog and different versions of the same page. tmortagne wrote:

Good Tipp! I will look into it. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Description-of-XAR-format-tp4793927p4796527.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Could you tell us more about the wiki you wish to convert since there are some conversion scripts that exist already on http://code.xwiki.org and in the sandbox.

I am trying to convert from jspwiki. I know that there exist a plugin for that already, but i do not even get it compiled.

Therefore i thought it would be easier to just start fresh.

Another direction is to directly paste your JSPWiki content inside a xwiki page for which you have set the syntax to JSPWiki :) (we support JSPWiki syntax). However I have not tried the JSPWiki syntax support for a very long time and we don't even have tests for it so I don't know how good it is. But it would be good if someone knowing JSPWiki could tell us how good or bad our native support of it is! When you have a page in JSPWiki syntax in xwiki then you can convert it to XWiki Syntax 2.0 easily. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing and more specifically: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HChoosingaSynt... Thanks -Vincent

We have more than 700 pages (not counting History and File Attachments). I am not going to do this manually....

You don't have to do this manually.... You could use XMLRPC or REST to upload your page content.

But it is possible to set the page syntax in the xml file. This is what i am doing currently and it seems to work quite good.

So you're setting the jspwiki/1.0 syntax in there? Thanks -Vincent

Can i set the version of the page with one of these methods? Or upload multiple versions of the page? I haven't found a solution for this.

To be honest, I don't know, would need to check.

Yepp, exactly.

ok cool. It would be great if you could create jira issues on http://jira.xwiki.org if you find issues in our handling of JSPWiki. Complex links will not work I guess for example. Once you have your pages in jspwiki syntax you might want to convert them to XWiki Syntax 2.0 in order to benefit from the wysiwyg editor for example (that editor currently only works with XWiki Syntax 2.0). Thanks -Vincent

Sorry. Attachment filtered so I posted it on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/DxU6RYJw I hope it helps someone. On Thu, 2010-03-25 at 11:13 +0100, Jeroen Baten wrote:

Hello,

I Hereby send you a first version of a Python script to convert twiki to xwiki.

It is small, fast, and (more or less) documented. I am still working on it and will publish final version when I am done.

This script is now dry-run so you need to uncomment the storepage lines.

It also does wiki syntax conversion.

Basically: it should work but don't blame me if it doesn't. :-)

Hope you can use it.

kind regards,
