new hackers have something to play with. Where can I upload it?
Well, the file release section of the sourceforge site sounds like a
great place! You might need someone with appropriate permissions to
induct you into the secret society of people who can upload, though.
Magnus?
Also; I've added a history-import mode for the conversion script, so you
can take just the old usemod page histories and plunk them into the live
database:
php -q convertWiki2SQL.php --history
This does not create a newiki.sql file, but goes straight to the
database. wikiLocalSettings.php thus should be appropriately configured.
(I've also changed it to use the $wikiLanguage variable that's set there
for determining the language properties, and automatically include the
table setup commands from wikipedia.sql into the newiki.sql output when
the --history option is not given.)
I haven't tried it on the full English database yet, so there may still
be bugs.
