Website Importer can import entire websites into Wordpress provided they contain a specialized index file. The index file can either be an index output by Flare Madcap, or an XML file that is specifically defined for this importer.<\/p>\n\n
The Website Importer will relink internal links, upload and relink media files, and apply templates and categories to the page. The import can be from either a website that is local to the Wordpress installation, or uploaded as a zip file. If it is uploaded as a zip file and is a Flare Madcap import, the importer will find the relevant Flare Madcap index. If it is uploaded as a zip file and the is using an XML index, the importer requires that the index file be named index.xml and located at the root of the zip file.<\/p>\n\n
Initial plugin development funded by Gliderline Solutions (http:\/\/www.gliderline.com\/).<\/p>\n\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<knowledgebase version=\"1.0\">\n <document title=\"File Title\" src=\"index.html\" category=\"cat1\" order=\"0\">\n <document title=\"File Title 2\" src=\"secondFile.html\" category=\"cat1,cat2\" order=\"0\">\n <\/document>\n <\/document>\n<\/knowledgebase>\n<\/xml>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n- documents can be nested to define a parent child relationship.<\/li>\n
- order defines menu listing orders if multiple pages exist under one parent.<\/li>\n
- category can be applied to pages but may require an additional plugin to be usable. Multiple categories are deliminted by a comma.<\/li>\n
- src is the path to the html file and relative to the index.xml.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Settings defined in the XML file will override settings contained in the plugin settings page.<\/p>\n\n
Roadmap<\/h3>\n\n
The roadmap will be based on user demand and feedback. Please provide feedback on what development would be important to you. Some possibilities:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Option to import as a post<\/li>\n
- Overwriting of media files on subsequent imports or during filename conflicts.<\/li>\n
- Option to create new pages vs overwrite existing pages of the same name.<\/li>\n
- Option to set the category of the import based on the category the top level page has<\/li>\n
- Support for tags.<\/li>\n
- Support for categories and tags for media files.<\/li>\n
- Import from confluence index files.<\/li>\n
- Import from Subversion.<\/li>\n
- Ability to change content in HTML (eg, replacing tags, or sections of text).<\/li>\n
- Read in page information (such as tags or content) from custom-defined meta tags.\nIf you find this plugin useful, or find that it could be useful with certain additions, please let me know.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Known Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n- Madcap Flare imports only support one chunk file, and the TOC must be named Toc.js and only the first chunk file will be loaded (using name [TOC_CHUNK_NAME]0.js).<\/li>\n
- During large Flare imports, the output text may stop printing even though the import completes.<\/li>\n
- Links that link to within the current page (thispage.html#section) are not relinked.<\/li>\n
- Relative links that do not specify http:\/\/ or https:\/\/ will not be relinked.<\/li>\n
- Pages with titles that look like tags (uses < and >) may not appear in the 2015 theme menu. It works in the 2014 theme menu.<\/li>\n
- The incorrect category may get attached to the imported page if there are multiple categories with the same name.<\/li>\n
- index.xml must be at the root of the zip file, and not in a sub-directory for an uploaded XML zip import.<\/li>\n
- Uploading a Flare website that using a local path must reference the root directory of the Flare website, it cannot point to the Toc.js otherwise the webpage locations stored in Toc.js cannot be found by the importer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Minimum tested\/supported WordPress version: 3.8.1<\/li>\n
- Minimum tested PHP version: 5.4.25<\/li>\n
- Other requirements:<\/li>\n
- Javascript required for Settings Page<\/li>\n
- PHP must not be running in safe mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

\n- What do I do if my import doesn't work?<\/dt>\n
If possible, provide the entire import attempted (index and html files) and the errors that occurred.<\/p><\/dd>\n
- How do I use categories for pages?<\/dt>\n
In order to create and manage categories for pages, another plugin is required. \"Post Tags and Categories for Pages\" has been used in testing in conjunction with this plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n
- Where does the index file have to be?<\/dt>\n
When importing a locally located website using an XML import, the index file must be referenced directly with all file locations relative to that index file. For a locally located website using a Flare import, the root path of the Flare website can be referenced directly: if the Toc.js is referenced then all file links within Toc.js must be relative to the Toc.js location.\nIf uploading a zip file containing the website, then for an XML import the index.xml file must be in the root of the zip file and named index.xml. For an uploaded zip of a Flare website, the TOCs can be anywhere and will be found automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
