I am going to create a site in Drupal. Part of that site will be my blog. Since I do not have any D6 legacy, I definitely want to use D7. I have a LiveJournal blog, which I would like to import. Ideally, I would like to import log entries and comments, and to create OpenID users in D7 for all my LJ friends, for them to have access to my friends-only entries.
Since LJSync does not work with D7, and there is nothing promising at http://drupal.org/node/982820 (nor any other sources), I am considering various solutions:
importing from LJ into WordPress, then from WP into D7 (using one of several existing modules for WP->D7);
installing D6, using LJSynce to import from LJ into D6, then upgrading to D7;
there probably are some other options of which I am unaware.
What would be the easiest method for such migration in your view? Any suggestions much appreciated.
Comments
Use Feeds module and import
Use Feeds module and import your posts via RSS/Atom feed.
http://drupal.org/project/feeds
Это простейший метод.
What about LJ comments?
Roman, thank you for this suggestion. Actually, I considered Feeds, but dropped the idea when I saw that an Atom or RSS feed from LJ contains posts only, with no comments. Am I missing something about LJ Atom/RSS feeds, is it actually possible to get comments, not only entries, via a feed?
Maybe there is a non-technical problem about importing comments
Now that I have read quite a lot of discussions on copyright to comments etc., I think that it may be a good idea to drop importing comments altogether, because of those non-technical, copyright-related issues.
