Hi Wim,
No, I haven’t worked on it for years. I don’t work with DITA any more, so the need is not there.

Hi Mike,

I downloaded end tested your tool and it works as expected. I was wondering if there are any new developments or new insights in using this tool?

Hi Bal,
The import tool creates pages. Do you have a theme which lists pages? Try switching to the default theme to see whether they appear. They should be in the sidebar on the home page.

Hi,

I’m using this dita importer tool. Each and every step is matching with demo video. But finally content is not appearing in my blog. How do I rectify this?

Thanks in advance
Bal

Hi Mike,

Congratulations on creating a great tool for the DITA community! If you’re interested in distributing your DITA2Wordpress tool (or at least having it listed as a resource) under the open-source DITA2Wiki Project on SourceForge, please contact me at lisa dot dyer at lombardi dot com.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita2wiki/

The DITA2Wiki Project promotes best practices and tools for marrying DITA with wikis and other Web 2.0 apps. Distributions currently include the DITA2Confluence tool (which bypasses the DITA OT to generate wiki output directly from DITA).

Cheers,

- lisa

Hi Bob,
I saw your other comment about PHP versions being the problem. But you do raise an important point.
The path in which you upload your DITA output must be accessible to the user or process the web server runs as. For shared hosting that pretty much means a publicly visible web directory, e.g. wp-content.
But if you have more control or options, eg. dedicated server, local, or internal server, then you can be more flexible.

Hi Bob,
It does mention in the readme and the page above that it uses PHP 5. I’m afraid it will only work with that version. Though it is possible to do the directory walking a different way in PHP 4, the XML parsing stuff won’t work, so there’s no point.
