Import content from mediawiki to OS X wiki

Hi,
i have already a mediawiki running with a lot of content on a linux box. i would like to transfer/export those content to the wiki on the Xserve. is there a tool or functionality on Xserve to do that. It can save a ot of time
thanks

Don't do it unless you are a small company with no cloud based aspirations or virtualisation ideas.
So many of my clients are now looking to move from OSX wiki to another wiki that can be put in the cloud (Amazon or the other main players) or virtualised.
Apple is out of the Pro server game, and no virtualisation options outside of the "desktop" space. Even VMWARE "supported" mac hardware is 4 years old.
Apple has a very nice wiki server and effectively a simple click a button solution. But OSX wiki is specific to Apple and apple hardware and I am still struggling to find an export script.
I now have clients that started small and now have  many 1,000's of pages of data in OSX wiki's that can't virtualise them in there data centres, or migrate them off old server hardware to new "server" hardware and can't migrate them to there cloud based IaaS solutions with Rackpsace or Amazon etc..
If you have any plan's to be anything more than a "mum and dad solution" then stay with MediaWiki or migrate to another wiki or hybrid wiki like open atrium or others. Most of these do have installers or can compile on a mac. So you can use your hardware still to reduce costs.
Just save yourself the heartache a few years from now when your get bigger and the Mac mini in the corner can't support your growth or your business strategy changes and "dedicated tin" in a server room is not part of that strategy

  • Need to undo set up after importing contents from old Macse

    I just set up my new MB pro with OX X Mavericks. I choosed the option of "import contents from other mac" and brought my entire user identity and contents from my old MB air. But it created a whole new user identity in my new computer. I don't like it and want to undo it and start all set up again from the begining. Any ideas of how to do it. I have all my contentes backuped, so I'm not worried about that... By the way, I heard many times that it was not a good idea to start using a new Mac bringing all contents from your old one this way. Any comments to this?

    You typed you migrated from your old partners PC - try using their password. It sounds like you've done what is in these articles, but maybe there will be something new.

    If you can see the other computer in Finder, try drag and drop copying the files. Can you copy the files to a Flash drive or external hard drive and then download them?

  • ITunes importing content from another user's account

    I have an iPod. My husband has an iPad and his own iTunes account, and we share the same computer. When I connect my iPod to my computer, it imports content from his iTunes account onto my iPod. I do not want this, because I do not have the space required for the content he will get. How can I fix it so my iTunes account will not sync my content and his content onto my iPod? Please respond with any helpful information. Also, I do not want his content to even show up in my library, as I do not think this should happen.

  • Is there a way to import content from a wiki into InDesign?

    Hi all,
    I'm writing the documentation for a software product and I'd like to use a wiki to create the documentation using several users to author the starting content. However, an export from a wiki is never very attractive so I'd like to be able to bring the content into InDesign from the wiki, to massage it to look better. I see that I can export OpenDocument XML from Mediawiki, or a PDF, but can I use either for my InDesign document? This is a large project with over 1,000 printed pages of documentation. It also needs to be undertaken fairly swiftly, which is why I wanted to go this route.
    I have InDesign CS5 and have not yet installed a wiki so it can be anything you suggest.
    Thanks in advance for all your advice,
    Ben

    Yeah, I have an idea... Have you tried the pdf export yet? If it is already formated then that maybe the way to go. But you may need acrobat to save it in another format. If I recall InDesign renders the pdf, which would make editing the pdf in Indesign useless.
    OK, did a quick test with PDF. Load the PDF into Acrobat and save as a word file. Place the word file into InDesign and you will have the styles paragraphs.    You just have to alter the style taste, may be fix a few paragraphs if needed.

  • Export/import content from EP6 into NW04

    We are upgrading from SRM3.0/EP6 SP2 (source) to SRM5.0/Portal NW2004s (target).
    The only thing we need to preserve from the source portal are the users and roles. We plan to re-apply the business package for SRM 5.0 after the migration is completed. We are not using any Collaboration Rooms.
    I know there is a migration path from EP6 SP2->EP6 SP9(NW04), followed by an upgrade from NW04->NW04s.
    My question is:
    - is it possible to export content from EP6SP2 and import it into NW04/MW04s?  this will eliminate the complicated migration path from EP6 SP2 to NW04.

    Hi,
    As long as you only need to transport PCD content, I would recommend using normal PCD transport (just did an upgrade from EP6 SP2 to NW04 SP13 and used normal PCD transport without any problems. Will do the same for another upgrade to NW04s). Only if you have KM content you are forced to use the migration tools.
    I am not quite sure about users and role migration since I've only use LDAP as a user store (we manually repeated the AD group to portal role mapping since there were very few)
    There was a conf call on this, but the only reference I can find now is https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/supplemental_docs/prtl204.pdf

  • Automatically Importing Content From Webpage

    In Excel it was possible to import data from webpages into the spreadsheet.
    Can that be done in Numbers? If so how?
    Thanks

    Hello
    In fact the problem is simply that Safary doesn't finish its work.
    After copying from the WebPage
    run this huge script:
    set t to the clipboard as text
    set the clipboard to t
    Now you may paste in a Numbers table
    When I examined the contents of the t variable, I discovered that rows are correctly separated by $0D aka return.
    The task was finished in the process which normalizes the clipboard's contents.

  • Any way to import content from AW7 packaged file to modify and repackage?

    Hi, I am new to AW.  Trying to take an existing aircraft systems training program and merge it with another training program that was written with AW5, which modules are not compatible with AW7.  According to the help file, when packaged, the flowlines and icons used to design the program are removed and no longer accessible.  Is there any way to import the content and redesign and tailor to my specific needs?  Thanks.

    Douglas,
    Are you talking about packaged Authorware 5 files? Because it sounds like you are quoting info about packaged files...
    The Authorware 7 authoring tool should be able to open and convert Authorware 5 source files. If all you have a repacked files there's not really anything you can do.

  • How to import photos from an old iPhoto library

    I have started using a new Mac (MacBook Pro Retina with OS10.10.1).
    I saved my earlier iPhoto Library on my previous Mac to an external Drive. Now, if I try to open the old iPhoto Library file from my new Mac then iPhoto offers me to 'Switch Libraries' and to access pictures from the old library.
    But this is not what I need. I would like to merge the old into the new (on my current Mac) and use a single iPhoto library for all pictures. In another word I would like to import content from the old library to the new and then use it as a single iPhoto library. When I try the 'iPhoto Library' files are inactive in the Finder....
    Please advise steps to do do it.
    Thanks

    iPhoto can not merge libraries
    And you must NEVER Import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massive mess
    To merge libraries you must either use Aperture (being phased out this year) or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Or continue to have two libraries and switch between them

  • IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

    Hi,
    iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
    System Specifications:
    Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
    4 GB RAM
    Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    Thanks!

    With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

  • Is there a way to paste content from one ID doc to another without importing the styles?

    Hi all,
    I often work with transferring content over from one catalog to another...each catalog has a completely different set of styles. Since I am an organization freak and like to keep things as organized as possible, it drives me crazy when all of the styles from the other ID doc are transferred over into my my new document. What I used to do was delete all of the styles from the catalog I was copying over from and save a copy like that simply for the use of copying information over (so that no styles were brought over), but I am currently working with copying over content from multiple catalogs that were built in InDesign and it will take me forever deleting all of the styles in those documents.
    Normally it is a GOOD thing when styles are copied over, but not in this case. It is not important that format is carried over either...I just want the content. Normally I will grab a bunch of content (tables, text boxes and images) at a time to copy over. I amjust not able to use "Paste without formatting" either:( It is greyed out. I very often use the "Paste without formatting" when pasting in text by itself into a text block and that works great! But is there any way I can do something similar with a bunch of contents that are being pasted? Or even if I just want to paste a text block or two?
    Help?
    Thank you so much in advance for your help:)
    Best,
    Christine

    Mary and Peter,
    Thank you both so much for your input...those are both really great ideas! I had actually not known about the ability to "break the link" to the styles... I must have missed seeing that all this time I have been using InDesign...that is really useful!! And I also like the ideas of renaming the styles...I will have to see what works best tomorrow as I continue on. There are just soooooo many different styles involved that renaming them may not be feasible in this particular instance so I may need to just "break the links"....but then I just remembered that there are lots of table styles, cell styles and character/paragraph styles linked with the tables alone that I have to copy over....grrrrr. (making my hair stand on end thinking of it...lol)
    Isn't there a way to break the links to EVERY style linked to one selected item (break the link to all table/cell/character/paragraph/object styles in one fell swoop) ?

  • Why can't I import audio content from a Pana LX5 MTS file?

    Hi,
    Awesome as the new video capability is in CS6 (the ability to add image filters is to die for!), I have encountered a problem.
    I can import the video component from a Panasonic LX5 .MTS AVCHD Lite video file. But the audio isn't included and I can't bring the audio content into an audio track by importing separately.
    When I import H264 .MOV, taken with my Canon 7D, audio is included in the video import and I can also import audio from another, similar file to an audio track.
    Is there some special trick involved with AVCHD Lite format video? Has anyone else succeeded in importing audio from an .MTS file?
    Kind regards,

    You aren't the only person: also fails for me, Windows 7 64-bit. Audio doesn't play in CS6 Bridge either, although audio plays in Windows Media, so I assume system has correct codec installed.
    I think this might be a bug, here is a .mts file for others (or Adobe) to test with: http://www.newae.com/00012.MTS

    You can use the USB port - plug in the HD and drag the iTunes folder from your SuperDuper! back up into the Music folder in your user account.

  • Content Migration from mediawiki

    Hi all,
    is there a tool or some scripts to migrate the content of a mediawiki to the CQ wiki?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Hi Lars,
    thanks for your hints, but using this methode means loosing all the history, doesn't it? And what about the wiki syntax if I make an HTML dump?
    I have googled a lot and there are so many tools to migrate mediawiki to Sharepoint. That means in my eyes that it should be possible to (automatically) migrate the content also to CQ wiki...
    Thanks,

    how to import hd recorded content from PMW200 to fcpx for editimg

    I found that if you open new project properties and change the Audio and Render Properties to CUSTOM in stead of DEFAULT and then chand the render format to UNCOMPRESSED 10-bit 4:2:2 it will allow for HD in the timeline and on output.  Drove me insane but I found it.
    Good Luck!
