Observations and suggestions for migrating existing sites

@Walt

Could you please attach your modified version of Bulk Import which works with FLEXIcontent?

I am collecting extensions which have been modified to work with FLEXIcontent.

Thanks.

Of course I will.

I do have some bottlenecks to work out, but it should be here in a few days.

Excellent!
Be watching for it.

Kenmcd... and please keep us informed about those extensions. I'm working on a couple myself that only need simple changes, but I'm a little stumped when it comes to producing a flexicontent url that works with SEF enabled. If you or anyone knows how, a tutorial would be much appreciated.

Hi guys

We have been thinking with Emmanuel about lisitng all extensions working with Flexi to have them on the forum, Micker was working on this too, so we'll probably use your hard done job

i just opened a new message to have them listed here**Thanks

I've decided to add some features to Bulk Import where a drop down menu to select one of the following components to import into:
1) FlexiContent
2) K2
3) JomSocial (groups)
4) MyBlog
5) Kunena 1.5.x
6) EventList
7) Acajoom
ccMailer

This is going to be a bit of a task, but I think I can do it. The files to be imported MUST BE pure text files, and a pipe "|" must separate various content fields.

I'll do my best to keep you posted, and I do have a day job, so it may be a little while.

Walt.
