Hi, I would like to import / export data with mediawiki. I'm thinking to do that in php at database level. Where should I start ? It there any mediawiki extension programming information somewhere ? Or any related development which could help me ? Regards, -- Cordialement, Sylvain. France

There is already an xml export function : http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export The import one is in need of some work ( ./includes/SpecialImport.php ). You will be most welcome to install cvs mediawiki and works on the import feature :o) -- Ashar Voultoiz

Pretty poor in fact, the text is not processed with wiki formating and subpages are not included. :-(

I'm gonna try. :-) -- Cordialement, Sylvain. France

Could you clarify what kind of data you want to import / export? Remember that wikis are intended for human-readable and human-writable text. It's not meant as a general-purpose database. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Of course. :-) I would like to import OpenOffice document with formatting into MediaWiki. And exporting wiki article, with subpages if any and its formating, into SXW document. :-) I've already an OOo xml parser for importing document into TYPO3 CMS, I would like to convert it, to work with MediaWiki. But I would be happy to have a more general import / export data too. I can probably complete the way to OOo in both import or export. -- Cordialement, Sylvain. France

I've found the thread about the lex/yacc parser on the tech ML archive. I'm going to switch to that list, via the newsgroups server. http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l I also going to try that parser. I'm skilled in flex / bison, it may be interesting to have a compiled parser linked to php API. :-) -- Cordialement, Sylvain. France
