From Xoops to WB

[Xagone]

We have a 5 installlation of xoops patched together  by symlinks, php codes and javascript to form a single website... lets face it... this suck.

just for fun i've installed WB and recreate the entire 5-xoops installed within 1 installation of WB 2.7 and best of all... the forum, witch is a PHPbb3, can be moduled into WB. 

We are planing to switch to WB from the original site.. problem is... the archives..

we want to transfert mostly the news, 5 set of news into 5 news pages of WB.

i'll trie to do it by creating a php that'll connect to 1 xoops news and transfert news by news to a news section of wb.

did anybody did something like this ? even not from xoops ? maybe wordpress or b2evolution?

is there a manual or a very kind person that can explain to me how a news module is implemented in DB and folder (for picture)

(the website in xoops : http://www.motocrossquebec.ca/ ) we have a wb installed in http://new.motocrossquebec.ca/ )

Look at the file add_post.php from the news module

There you'll see how a new post item is inserted i the database,
nest in file save_post.php you'll find the needed stuff to update that record.

Very important in that table is the section_id and the page_id , they must point to the correct section/page

Just create a new post, have a look at the db and extract what you need from there (section/page)


Have fun,
John
