Alright here is the thing, I have this site that was once wordpress but have been converted into 70+ static pages, the admin is deleted
and the whole site is static(which means every page is in index.html), I want to create a script that makes an xml so that I will just have to
import it in the new wordpress install.
So far, I am able to create an XML but it only imports one post.
The
data source is the URL of a page
and I use jquery $get to filter only to gather the post of a given archive.
//html
<input type="text" class="full_path">
<input type="button" value="Get
Data" class="getdata">
//script
$('.getdata').click(function(){
$.get($('.full_path').val(), function(data) {
post = $(data).find('div [style*="width:530px;"]');
$('.result').html(post.html());
});
});//get
Data
Through AJAX I send the cleaned
data into a php below that creates the XML:
$file = 'newpost.xml';
$post_data = $_REQUEST['post_data'];
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new post to the file
$catStr = '';
if(isset($post_data['categories']) && count($post_data['categories']) > 0){
foreach($post_data['categories'] as $category) {
$catStr .= '<category domain="category" nicename="'.$category.'"><![CDATA['.$category.']]></category>';
}
}
$tagStr = '';
if(isset($post_data['tags']) && count($post_data['tags']) > 0){
foreach($post_data['tags'] as $tag) {
$tagStr = '<category domain="post_tag" nicename="'.$tag.'"><![CDATA['.$tag.']]></category>';
}
}
$post_name = str_replace(' ','-',$post_data["title"]);
$post_name = str_replace(array('"','/',':','.',',','[',']','“','”'),'',strtolower($post_name));
$post_date = '2011-4-0'.rand(1, 29).''.rand(1, 12).':'.rand(1, 59).':'.rand(1, 59);
$pubTime = rand(1, 12).':'.rand(1, 59).':'.rand(1, 59).' +0000';
$post = '
<item>
<title>'.$post_data["title"].'</title>
<link>'.$post_data["link"].'</link>
<pubDate>'.$post_data["date"].' '.$pubTime.'</pubDate>

';
// Write the contents back to the file with the appended post
file_put_contents($file, $current.$post);
After being appended I add the code below to complete the xml rss tag
</channel>
</rss>
If I look
and compare the xml file of one that is exported from a wordpress site, I see little difference. Please HELP!!
here is a sample of a generated xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:excerpt="http://wordpress.org/export/1.2/excerpt/"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
