Introduction

For the purpose of the migration from my b2evolution blog to WordPress (the complete tutorial is here – in french for the moment) , I had to write a skin that can format the b2evolution output in the Movable Type format. This article allows you to download it and presents if quickly.

_MtExport

_MtExport is able to ouput :

• AUTHOR
• TITLE
• BASENAME
• DATE
• STATUS
• ALLOW PINGS
• ALLOW COMMENTS
• PRIMARY CATEGORY
• CATEGORY: (Toutes les autres)
• KEYWORDS: (les tags)
• BODY

About the comments, they are preserved and the following fields are part of the output:

• COMMENT:
  • AUTHOR
  • EMAIL
  • DATE
  • URL
  • IP

Mostly complete ?

Download

You can get or reuse the project as part of the CeCILL-B licence. Project is available on my github : https://github.com/FrenchW/MtExport

Installation

Installation is rather simple. Extract the archive content in a folder called “_MtExport”. You’ll then upload this folder into your blog /skins folder.

You’ll then have to go to the skins to activate it and preview it. If needed, the previsualisation url meets this form http://<yourBlog>/?tempskin=_MtExport&redir=no

Feel free to comment and add your thoughts. I’ll try to provide some help if needed.
