Does anyone know if there is an easy way to transfer your artices to soapbox besides cut and paste as I like the layout of soapbox better but I have about 100+ articles to transfer

do you have a backup copy of your old article module db tables?

yes its on my site and I can phymyadmin it

it likely can be done from a backup, but due to my inexperience i think i probably should not advise you on the procedure, hopefully someone else will weigh in on this one.

Please do advise me I can check it on my pc in xsas

hey jodee,

i would like to see the article table in question, the one that contains the data you want to transfer to soapbox.

edit: just enough lines to see the insert instruction and a few of the inserts.

I hope this is what you mean
Database jodee_xoop - Table xoops_articles_cat running on
or if you want I can give you access to my site temp

okay thats the table structure, but what about the articles? are they text? if i could just see the first insert- about 20 lines.

i am trying to think this think through and one issue is that the table structure is different so i am not sure if this can be done.

Articles are text with some links in them
