Advice asked for upgrading WFsections to...??....

Hello folks,

Today I asked my host to upgrade my accounts to php 5. They moved me to a server with php 5 and I got a blank page. Through xoopsinfo/admin/rescue.php I could turn on debug: a fatal error which had something to do with WFsections.

Pity, such a great module is now becoming antique it seems....

My questions:

1) Which current module for content/article management do you advice/works great for you for a site with 150 + articles in several categories?

2) Does anyone or any content/article module have a script to import articles from WFsections? Any advice on that?


Thanks in advance for your answers and greetings,

Hervet, dev for News' module, use php5/mysql5 for his professional and community sites Instant-Zero.

I think that is possible migrate wfsection to news.

In smarsection'admin, you have a link for import from wfsection articles to smartsection

That's excellent news.

I'd love to see one for the original "Section" module if that's at all possible?

Thanks for your answers, christian and phppp!

@christian: I'll download Smartsections one of these days and try if davidl2 is right or wrong.

@phppp: I PM'd you a link. Thanks for looking into this!
I read that the articles module is also a widely used module.

[edit]
Since I'm awake now, tried right away. Nice module, smartsection!! Indeed an import option, but it says
Quote:

As no other supported article module are installed on this site, no article can be imported.


Pity. I'll wait if you think you're gonna be succesfull, phppp. Thx in advance!

Thanks and greetz,

I finished the conversions with:
wfsection, xfsection, sections, news, smartsection => article

and
article => news, smartsection

If anyone can help me test before public release, please let me know so that I can send you the converter scripts.

And if you have any other content modules to convert with (import or export) "article", also let me know.
