As mentioned in a previous thread about Wordpress, I now have an XOOPS dev environment set up. I have it installed under the /xoops directory on my web server.

My current blog (which I am replacing with Xoops) is under a /blog directory off of the main server.

This is my plan, but I need some help.

1. COntinue configuring my XOOPS installation under the /xoops directory and the dev database.

2. Once I have it just the way I want it, export the database and download the entire directory structure.

3. Delete my blog under the /blog directory

4. Upload all my XOOPS files into the /blog directory.

5. Dump all the tables into the production database

6. (Here's where I need help) Go into the XOOPS configuration and let it know that it is now located in the /blog directory and not the /xoops directory.

I think my reasoning is pretty sound, but I don't know how step 6 is going to bite me in the butt. Can I just make the changes in a config file, or can I re-run the XOOPS install script?

I gotta tell ya - this is incredibly painless. I thought it would take me days to get to the point of integration that I reached in a few hours.

I played with XOOPS about a year-ish ago and it was good then. Now it's simply phenomenal.

Thanks!


PS - I should probably add in here: the reason why my XOOPS installation MUST go into my blog directory is because of Google page rank. If I move it out of that director, then I'm going to lose my hard earned Google status :)

OK, I put up a dev environment and now I understand the Wordpress module. I had to manually export my current WP database, rename all the tables with my xoops_ extension name and then import them all into my XOOPS database (EXCEPT THE OPTIONS TABLE!!!!) and it works groovy cool.

Very cool, actually. WP is wrapped up right in the middle of Xoops. This is much more than I expected. I can now keep all my plugins and use my blog clients still.

#OOPS# cool.

HI All,

I'v outgrown Wordpress and am looking at moving to Xoops. I've done a lot of searching around here and see many references to Wordpress modules, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what they actually *do*.

I'd like to just import my 500+ WP entries into Xoops...what...stories? And carry on, but I can't figure out if that's possible.

Is that possible with any of the Wordpress modules I see kicking around here?

Thanks! Sorry for the question that's probably been answered a million times but I can't see it...
