I've been way out of pocket lately.. But I have gotten a number of requests for downloads of DasBlog Importer and Delicious.net, which both got lost in the shuffle when I moved.. My server never came back up, temp hosting became more perm then I would have liked, excuse excuse excuse..

I've put the latest versions here, so please feel free to snag them.. Sorry for the delay to anyone that emailed me..

New release, now with comments.  The commentapi support was staring me right in the face the whole time. 

The new release will now move comments over via http.  The comments will not include the original url of the user that posted, and the html that worked in dotText is not allowed in dasBlog, so comments that include HTML will look as you would expect.  Trackbacks also come over, but only with the name of the site, not the url.  I didn't see these things in in the commentrss feed, but honestly I didn't look very hard yet.  Getting this functionality in was enough for this snowy weekend.

I would like to clean up the issues above by either exploring the commentrss in more depth, or adding comment importing from SQL.  Other then that the next few features are up in the air.  I would like to have something that maps my .text urls to dasblog urls, but thats a pretty vertical need.  If others would be interested in this tool expanding to support multiple blogs, speak up and let me know.  Most of the blogs support some sort of interface in, and it should be pretty straightforward to add support for other blogs into this app.

As always, the source is in cvs, and you can also get it from the urls below.  Please let me know if there are any issues.

[WARNING] 

When importing entries, please be sure to check the setting for outbound pings.  If you are importing your blog, and do not want outbound trackbacks to be created since they have already been created for these entries, be sure to turn off the feature in dasblog before importing!  Don't send bad trackbacks like I did.

Just updated the source and binary local links.  Source is also in CVS.  I really need to start releasing on sourceforge.  Anyway..

Only update is it works with categories now.  Like works, not funky works, but works  :)

Heres the last release of the weekend.  Screenshot below.  Codes in CVS, and links to direct download are below. 

I have re-added the direct option.  The direction option allows more then 25 entries to be converted.  When moving them over 1 by 1 the active and showonfront page options are moved also, direct db they are defaulted to 1 setting (thatll be fixed later). 

I still have some work to do with the categories which you'll see in the next version of the blog I release.  I hope to fix that this week.  I'm also still working on the comments, trying to figure out how to bring them into DasBlog.  I have seen a post around about it supporting CommentAPI, but haven't found it yet. 

Also the beta blog will be updated any minute now, so check it out if you get a chance, I'd love to hear from comments.  I'm going to hopefully roll it over this week.  I think I will probably move the blog to iceglue.com/blogs/tranqy.  Everything will stay up at the old blog until I can put in a redirection scheme, but the baseurl and xml feeds will be redirected as soon as I flip the switch. 

Get the source here and the binaries here.

Source will be in cvs..  Heres a screenshot..  Still some fixes to make before another minor release.  Oh soon the frequent updates will move off here too the sourceforge mailing list.

Another release out the door.  This release works soley with the web services of each product.  It still only moves posts, but it is getting the .text comments :)  I haven't found an xml endpoint in DasBlog for creating comments yet.  If I can't find one I'll see if I can make a small addon release that could handle that.  The DotText service also seems to only return 25 items, which I'll be looking into.  I'm guessing I will be adding a “direct” option that will support everything. 

The sourceforce site was approved, and is here.  I'm stumbling through CVS now, so expect to see some source in the repository later this evening or tomorrow. 

For now, here's a new screen shot.  And heres a link to the source. 

Well I won't have a beta out this week, but hopefully this weekend I'll release some new bits.  I've been moving the source to the web services and comment api, while also refactoring the app a bit to make it cleaner.  I still have to look into how to post comments to DasBlog via services.  I'm not expecting that to be an issue.

I also applied for a spot on sourceforge.  That would provide some public source control, as well as some tools to manage the project.  Should hear back on that in a couple days.

I'll make sure to post back when either one of those are final. 

I searched for something that would move my DotText over to DasBlog, and didn't see anything handy.  Since I've got the DB here, and theres the DasBlog web service, I was able to throw something together in about 30 minutes to handle it. 

Currently it will move entries only.  No comments, no categories, just entries.  The main reason I want to import my entries is for searching them in DasBlog, so I'm not that worried about the old stuff.  If others seem interested, I might add some more to this though.

Heres a screenshot:
