this simple blogger template dumps your blogspot content and comments data in a php array structure, I'll soon turn this into a migrate to drupal script


< ?php 
$item=array();
< Blogger>
$iid = '< $BlogItemNumber$>';

$item[$iid]['title']='< $BlogItemTitle$>';
$item[$iid]['body']='< $BlogItemBody$>';
$item[$iid]['date']='< $BlogItemDateTime$>';
$item[$iid]['number']='< $BlogItemNumber$>';
$item[$iid]['permalink']='< $BlogItemPermalinkURL$>';
$item[$iid]['comment']=array();

< BlogItemComments>
$cid='< $BlogCommentNumber$>';

$item[$iid]['comment'][$cid]['number']='< $BlogCommentNumber$>';
$item[$iid]['comment'][$cid]['body']='< $BlogCommentBody$>';
$item[$iid]['comment'][$cid]['author']='< $BlogCommentAuthor$>';
$item[$iid]['comment'][$cid]['date']='< $BlogCommentDateTime$>';
< /BlogItemComments>
< /Blogger>
?>

<pre>
< ?php var_dump($item) ?>
</pre>

cool

this probably better the csv idea

blogger to drupal

Yeah sure no one has done it already?

Take a look at blogger > MT > drupal?

there is also an import module in cvs, let me find a link .. Here is the import_export/README.txt readme of the module in cvs for mass import.

Never used it but it might help you if you can get your blogger stuff into xml format

it might help you write a module to import from blogger


I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure

I don't like the two steps idea

I don't like the two steps idea.

as for import module, it does not import comments as far as I can tell, comments need to be added immediatly after the node_save() call since node_save() returns the nid.

cheers,
Alaa

Import solution with the comments

It's not a big issue to make 2 steps to migrate blogspot to drupal however it'll be a bothersome for who don't have MT account like me. I'm not going to create MT account to do this!!

But I think I've reached a better solution after making some googling inspired by Alaa script. Check out: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/junyor/import/blogger/ (contributed by junyor)

I'll test it on my own local drupal and give u the feedback soon.

Alaa disabled [mod_security|h

Alaa disabled mod_security to see how's the load on the server, so the SPAM is back that's why you are getting emails.

I'm getting them as well
