[consulting] Need Help w/ MoveableType Import

[Laura]

Watch out for attachments. MT (at least some older versions) would give attachments a path relative the post to which it was attached. So an attachment would not be /files/pictures/brooklynbridge.jpg but rather /blog/joe-bloggs/i-have-something-to-sell-you/files/brooklynbridge.jpg ... which is enough to drive anyone a bit crazy. As Drupal does not do that, you can't just move over attachments without noting their paths as coded in the various posts. From what I recall, the attachments were not saved under such path folders, that was just how MT referenced them.

The site consists of a little under 4,000 blog posts and over 40,000 comments. I've got everything in place except for capturing "permalinks" and preserving them as path redirects to the new nodes. If anyone has some experience/expertise with this sort of thing, please email me. Thanks!
