Import an old s9y into a new s9y

[amarradi]

Hello together,

i set up an new s9y. And i would import my old Database, how can i do this. There is an option to import from other blog, but not from an other s9y. Is it difficult to import from one s9y to an other s9y. Why is there no standard option. It would make updates or movings easrly...

Many Greetings

Hi!

Is there a reason you setup a new blog instead of copying/migrating the old one? That would be the most easy option if you want your old contents.

Why is there no standard option.

Because no one has contributed it yet. Serendipity is Open Source, everyone is free to contribute what he believes is missing.

Importing the DB is not really hard, it can already be done through phpMyAdmin, by doing a "SELECT * FROM oldtable INTO newtable".

It's not really common to import stuff from a s9y blog, in the 6 years I contribute to the project it has only come up once...and I have not yet found the time to implement such an import module, because I try to use up my free time to do support here and improve things in Serendipity that are asked for by more users, and I must admit I found your way of asking for such a feature very demanding.


Best regards,
Garvin
