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.
