Kwiki to TWiki Text File Converter

Overview

This script is a modification of TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny 's TWiki:Plugins.DolphinToTWikiAddOn for people who want to import content from TWiki:Main.BrianIngerson 's Kwiki into a TWiki.

Converts pretty much everything, although there are idiosyncrasies.

Metadata is not converted, however suitable default metadata is created.

Usage

I might as well copy liberally from Thoeny's documentation as well.

example% kwiki2twiki.pl fromDir toDir

Attention: toDir is assumed to be empty. Existing files will be overwritten!

Add-On Installation Instructions

Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this add-on. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the add-on on the server where TWiki is running.

• Download the ZIP file from the Add-on Home (see below)

• Make the kwiki2twiki.pl script executable
• The script looks for the TWiki libraries in . and ../lib. Place it in bin or lib or create another top-level directory (such as add-ons ) and put it there.
