Drupal 11: Migrating From Jadu Into LocalGov Drupal: Part 3

This is the second article in a series looking at migrating from Jadu into a LocalGov Drupal (LGD) site for the Central Bedfordshire site. In the first article we looked at the Jadu API and setting things up so that we could make calls to the API and parse the XML data using the migration systems available.

In the second article we looked at reproducing Jadu URLs to create redirects for migrated content, even though the Jadu API doesn't contain any URL information.

Now that we have a the Jadu connection created and redirects working we can start tackling other aspects of the migration, so let's look at migrating the main content of the site from Jadu. We can pull structured pages of content out of the Jadu API and apply them to the structure of a LGD site, maintaining the same hierarchical structure and order of pages.

Much of the content of a LGD site is built using just a handful of content types, and Central Bedfordshire was built in the same way. LGD comes with a number of content types that allow content editors to add content in different ways, which allows for some decent customisation in the structure and layout of a site. Not only that, but as we are using Drupal it is possible to customise this structure as much as we need to suit the needs of the site.

For Central Bedfordshire, we had the standard structure of the site built with Service Landing pages, which gave editors the ability to link out to other pages that contained all of the content. These inner pages were set up as Guide pages, and the migration of that content is what we will be focusing on in this article. Please note that I will need to gloss over a little bit of the detail in this article, but rest assured that the source code will be available soon.

Four version control systems in three files, a hardcoded root password we decided not to airbrush, and a surprising amount of today's stack already in place. In the oldest corner of our static file mirrors sits a directory called alpha3, and in it three shell scripts dated 20 November 2009 - older than the public BOA repository itself, whose GitHub history only starts in January 2010. These are the scripts Barracuda & Octopus grew from: one installs the Ægir layer on a VPS, one upgrades it with cron stopped and a backup taken first, and one builds a whole menu of 2009-era Drupal platforms, from Open Atrium to ManagingNews. Now published byte for byte on our docs site, with a guided tour of what survived, from the /data/disk tree to the /dev/ delivery path.

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!

Symantec have a report of the virus here. I've yet to see any of the PHP news sites picking up on it but, using a virtual host account, managed to deliberately expose some PHP scripts to it. From examining the infected scripts, what's disturbing is once infected, every tim...
