This is great Kevin! If you like you can add this to the Deki Wiki FAQ. To assist, I already copy/pasted the page over and gave you credit you can find it here. All that's needed is the scripts, assuming you want to make them public. If you're not interested you're certainly not obliged to do so, no worries, I can delete the page. 

Again, thanks! This is wonderful. There have been many requests for a MoinMoin  to Deki Wiki migration tool. MindTouch will be releasing a Mediawiki to Deki Wiki migration tool Q1 of 2008.

I prefer to keep these instructions on my site, and that people
download the scripts via this page.  That way, there is a slight chance
that I'll pick up some extra cents from the ads.

NP, thanks for working this out. I know many others will appreciate this.

 Thank you for your great job. I tried for Korean and found some hacks and modified. This works fine for me.

Add following import line

import codecs

Mofify end part as follows

# read file to unicode string

FILE = codecs.open(sys.argv[2], "r", "utf-8")

s = FILE.read()

FILE.close()

req.cfg.data_dir = sys.argv[1]

req.text = s.replace(u"\x0a\x0d", u"\x0a")

parser.format(formatter)

exit(0)

Thanks for the info.  I'm sure that other non-ASCII users will find it valuable.

Line 156 must be changed.

sys.stdout.write(str) ->  sys.stdout.write(str.encode('utf-8'))

I use 

#python builder.py <data directory>

 Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "moin2html.py", line 248, in ?

    exit(0)

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

 what can i do?

I use that way 

#python builder.py <data directory>

 Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "moin2html.py", line 248, in ?

    exit(0)

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

what can I do?

Hi!

The above utf-8 stuff is good, so I added it. But the requouting of page titles is to basic and screws up non ascii titles. Better use this Titleize:

cre=re.compile('(?:\(((?:[0-9a-f][0-9a-f])+)\))?([^(]+)',re.I)
sre=re.compile('..')
def Titleize(s):
    s2=''
    for special, normal in cre.findall(s):
        for byte in sre.findall(special.upper()):
            s2+='%25'+byte
        s2+=normal
    s2 = s2.replace(' ', '%2520')         # 20 is ' '
    s2 = s2.replace('+', '%252b')         # 2b is '+'
    return s2    

In addition Hayes 1.8.3c needs a different Content-type to be set. Change the line in ProcessDir to

cmdline = cmdline + ' -H "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" "http://'

Hope that helps other non-ascii users :)

Oliver.

use:

sys.exit(0) 

Hi!

Noob issue here (sorry)

when I run the builder.py I point it to my moinmoin data directory and while it "sees" the data it reports and error on every page.  I also note that the loadfiles and load2deki.sh script are create, however, all the html files in the loadfiles folder a of zero size.

Error as noted below

---

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "moin2html.py", line 22, in <module>

import MoinMoin.parser.wiki

ImportError: No Module named moinmoin.parser.wiki

---

This looked obvious to me at first and then I found that I couldn't find where I needed to grab the "module" from.

Please can someone help me with this?

Notes

-DekiWiki up and running

-moinmoin running (but on different server) with data copied to current machine (incidentally tried running the scripts on the moinmoin server on a copy of the data with the same results)

-Python functioning

-Cycwin functioning

In much anticipation!

You are going to have to install MoinMoin on the machine where you want to run the conversion.  The conversion calls on MoinMoin modules to render your MoinMoin data into HTML, which is what you will eventually upload to Deki.

can't your script run under linux?? if the paths are adapted!

Can you provide a Linux version?

It has been awhile since I used the scripts, so my memory is fuzzy on the details.  Since it is python, it should be possible to make it run on Linux without too much effort. The Python is nearly trivial, so updating them to meet your needs shouldn't take too much of your time.  (I'm a lightweight, when it comes to Python.)

I wrote them to move a Moin wiki to a Deki wiki, and I've got too much (paying) work to have the time to adapt them to other environments, now that I've moved my data.

Again, my memory is a little fuzzy, but I think it moved all pages to be top-level pages in the target wiki, making them all appear in the left side panel.
