s9y-to-wp has a new home on GitHub

github_fork
Earlier this week I was trying to clean up my old Google Code site and I broke it. Mostly this has given me the small push I needed to get all the old junk out of Google Code and make a proper move of it all to GitHub. Of course, the most important piece of code was the Serendipity to WordPress Plugin. I’ve moved the plugin to its own s9y-to-wp repo on GitHub. If you’ve used this plugin recently, please let me know if it is still working well!

And remember, pull requests always welcome!

Serendipity to WordPress – Post import

June 11, 2010

The first thing you need to do in migrating from Serendipity to WordPress, is to move the post content. Luckily for all of us, at some point in time an importer was written (and shared). It has floated around the internet for a while and been updated a number of times. The version I used was verison 1.3, last updated by a German fellow. While his updates were good, I needed a little more out of it. Two pieces that were lacking were the handling of drafts vs published posts (John and I have a number of drafts, as has been previously mentioned) and the most important, matching up post id numbers. Without that one piece, you can’t move between the two platforms and maintain any links.

“405 Method Not Allowed” on Google Code

September 8, 2011

Recently I was checking in some code to the SVN on Google Code (for a project I’ll be posting about another day). I love Google Code because it’s a great and easy to use public code host. On top of that you get a nice little web interface and bug tracker. For the low low cost of free, what more could you ask for? Oh yea… that it worked.

Serendipity to WordPress – Importer version 1.5

November 29, 2010

I should have posted this sooner, but I forgot. My Serendipity to WordPress post importer (v1.4) has been upgraded! Simone Tellini took it (in the spirit of which this software was originally released, way back when) and updated the importer to support nested categories (and of course re-released it). To make sure the software continues to be available, I’ve taken (with permission) Simone’s updated version and checked it into my Google Code SVN repo (SVN direct).
