Worth asking here, as I've found no good solutions yet, and I'm sure others have faced similar issues and solved it in various ways. Despite CS shipping with node_import, and a few people posting on the Drupal forums about various times they've coded up different scripts to import old html sites, it doesn't look like there is a good and mature way to import an existing HTML based site, except for the old cut and paste approach. Ideally, give either a set of html files or an set of URLs, a script should be able to import each pages html, and make a node. Stripping out things like headers and footers would be good. Problems: node_import: requires CSV compilation of pages. How do you convert existing pages into a CSV? Script? import_export (despite 4.5 label on Drupal, was made 4.6 friendly): same problem... also does XML... import_html: http://coders.co.nz/drupal_development/?q=taxonomy/term/4 Specific to the job, but Dan hasn't released the code fully yet... in email, he mentioned it was missing bits wgHTML: an ugly hack that wraps html Drupalishly, but not a real import Other scripts: haven't found a good example yet. Got one? Thanks for any pointers... and I'll report back and post a nice howto for use in the handbook. obDevel: I just noticed a bug I filed a year ago finally closed... br tags are no longer standard on labels. http://drupal.org/node/15609 Yeah! Only took a whole year to get closed.
