Hi all,

My company is looking to move away from their current wiki which is built in Confluence (Atlassian) with a MySQL back end.

I've shown them Drupal demo which I'm confident will suit all our needs and they're quite keen on Drupal but the main hurdle is the migration of data from the existing DB into Drupal - we're just interested in the primary page content, not users or permissions/etc.

I have a dump of the MYSQL confluence DB which is about 380MB (~4 million chars) - so not massive but not small either.

I'm guessing we're going to have to write some scripts which map database fields from the existing DB to match drupal's content import features but I'm wondering if anyone has done this before or has any tips or examples I can start from.

I've done a fair bit of searching and found companies that will do this professionally, as well as useless posts like this, but nothing conclusive so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

You'll want to check out the migrate module and based your searches on that. Not sure if there's any confluence specific info, but the process is pretty much the same from any source.

Excellent, thanks for that - I'll leave this post here in case other's are searching in the future and update if I find a solution.

Click here for the migrate module.
