DZone Snippets: typo code

Typo export to Wordpress WXR (script version)

laurelfan (Laurel Fan) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:41:54 GMT

I tried to use this method here: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3264 however my typo blog was too slow and it kept timing out (which is why we're switching to wordpress anyway...). So I stole the code and hacked it up a bit so it could be run as a script.

Put this in $RAILS_ROOT/script/wp_export.rb, and run it like:



RAILS_ENV=production ./script/wp_export.rb > out.wxr

Import it with the "Import Wordpress" tool in your wordpress blog's admin interface.



#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/boot'

require 'environment'



require 'application'



# we need a controller to generate html output

class FakeController < ApplicationController

  include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper

  include ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper

end

fake_controller = FakeController.new



articles = Article.find(:all)



xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target => STDOUT, :indent => 2)



xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0", :encoding=>"UTF-8"

xml.rss 'version' => "2.0",

        'xmlns:content' => "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/",

        'xmlns:wfw' => "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/",

        'xmlns:dc' => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/",

        'xmlns:wp' => "http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/" do

  xml.channel do

    xml.title "The Robot Co-op"

    xml.link "http://www.robotcoop.com"

    xml.language "en-us"

    xml.ttl "40"

    xml.description "Robot coop blog"



    articles.each do |a|

        xml.item do

          xml.title a.title

          xml.content(:encoded) { |x| x << a.html(fake_controller, :all) }

          xml.pubDate a.published_at.rfc2822

          xml.guid "urn:uuid:{a.guid}", "isPermaLink" => "false"

          author = a.user.name rescue a.author

          xml.author author

          xml.dc :creator, author

          for category in a.categories

            xml.category category.name

          end

          for tag in a.tags

            xml.category tag.display_name

          end

          xml.wp :post_id, a.id

          xml.wp :post_date, a.published_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

          xml.wp :post_parent, '0'

          xml.wp :post_type, 'post'

          for comment in a.comments

            xml.wp(:comment) do

              xml.wp :comment_id, comment.id

              xml.wp :comment_author, comment.author

              xml.wp :comment_author_email, comment.email

              xml.wp :comment_author_url, comment.url

              xml.wp :comment_author_IP, comment.ip

              xml.wp :comment_date, comment.published_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

              xml.wp(:comment_content) { |x| x << comment.body }

              xml.wp :comment_approved, '1'

              xml.wp :comment_parent, '0'

            end

          end

       end

Typo export to WordPress WXR

schacon (Scott Chacon) — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 23:52:47 GMT

If you want to move from Typo to Wordpress, you can use this to export the strange Wordpress RSS file format (comments and all).

Just add this to the XmlController :



  def wp

    @articles = Article.find( :all, :include => [:categories, :tags, :user, :blog])

  end

And then add this file (app/views/xml/wp.rxml):



// insert code here..

xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0", :encoding=>"UTF-8"



xml.rss 'version' => "2.0", 'xmlns:content' => "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/", 'xmlns:wfw' => "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/", 'xmlns:dc' => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/", 'xmlns:wp' => "http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/" do

  xml.channel do

    xml.title @feed_title

    xml.link @link

    xml.language "en-us"

    xml.ttl "40"

    xml.description this_blog.blog_subtitle



    @articles.each do |a|

        xml.item do

          xml.title post_title(a)

          xml.content(:encoded) { |x| x << '' }

          xml.pubDate a.published_at.rfc2822

          xml.guid "urn:uuid:#{a.guid}", "isPermaLink" => "false"

          author = a.user.name rescue a.author

          xml.author author

          xml.dc :creator, author

          for category in a.categories

            xml.category category.name

          end

          for tag in a.tags

            xml.category tag.display_name

          end

          xml.wp :post_id, a.id

          xml.wp :post_date, a.published_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

          xml.wp :comment_status, 'closed'

          xml.wp :ping_status, 'closed'

          xml.wp :post_name, a.permalink

          xml.wp :status, 'publish'

          xml.wp :post_parent, '0'

          xml.wp :post_type, 'post'

          for comment in a.comments

            xml.wp(:comment) do

              xml.wp :comment_id, comment.id

              xml.wp :comment_author, comment.author

              xml.wp :comment_author_email, comment.email

              xml.wp :comment_author_url, comment.url

              xml.wp :comment_author_IP, comment.ip

              xml.wp :comment_author_date, comment.published_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

              xml.wp(:comment_content) { |x| x << comment.full_html }

              xml.wp :comment_approved, '1'

              xml.wp :comment_parent, '0'

            end

          end

        end

    end

end

Then hit your typo blog at http://myblog/xml/wp and save the file to import through the WordPress interface.

measure map tags for typo

technoweenie (Rick Olson) — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 03:18:51 GMT

See my associated blog post.



# /app/views/articles/_article.rhtml







# /app/views/articles/_comment.rhtml







# /app/views/articles/read.rhtml

# This is the same as the _article.rhtml snippet, but using the @article instance var instead of the article local var

There's also a javascript include to add to the bottom of your typo theme, but there's no customization required...

redirecting wordpress xml links to typo in lighttpd

technoweenie (Rick Olson) — Sat, 10 Sep 2005 04:41:12 GMT

Update: go for the simplest regex possible...

$HTTP["host"] =~ "awesomerailsapp.com" {

  server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

  server.document-root = "/awesomerailsapp/public/"

  url.redirect = (

    "^/feed/atom" => "http://awesomerailsapp.com/xml/atom/feed.xml",

    "^/feed" => "http://awesomerailsapp.com/xml/rss/feed.xml",

    "^/wp-rss2\.php" => "http://awesomerailsapp.com/xml/rss/feed.xml",

    "^/wp-atom\.php" => "http://awesomerailsapp.com/xml/atom/feed.xml",

    # my wp article format to typo's

    "^/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/([\w-_]+)" => "/articles/$1/$2/$3/$4"

  )



  # bring on the rest of the config

}

Typo under lighttpd

jason (Jason Hoffman) — Wed, 25 May 2005 18:36:35 GMT

Example vhost of a typo install under lighttpd



$HTTP["host"] =~ "typo.jasonhoffman.org" {

server.document-root = "/home/jah/apps/typo/trunk/public/"

server.error-handler-404   = "/dispatch.fcgi"

server.indexfiles           = ( "dispatch.fcgi")

server.errorlog = "/home/jah/logs/error.typo.log"

  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>

     ( "localhost" =>

       ( "socket" => "/home/jah/tmp/typo-jah.socket",

                            "min-procs" => 1,

                            "max-procs" => 5,

         "bin-path" => "/home/jah/apps/typo/trunk/public/dispatch.fcgi",

         "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production" )

  )))

}

Pretty archive URLs in Typo with Routes

peter (Peter Cooperx) — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 16:41:16 GMT

Tobi posted this as a new URL scheme for Typo.

# allow neat perma urls

map.connect 'articles/:year/:month/:day', :controller  => 'articles', 

     :action => 'find_by_date', 

     :year => /\d{4}/, :day => nil, :month => nil

map.connect 'articles/:year/:month/:day/:title', :controller  => 'articles', 

     :action => 'permalink', :year => /\d{4}/
