ToOctopress

A simple gem for generating octopress markdown files from PostgreSQL database, useful for migrating your blogging system to octopress from other platforms (e.g Rails)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'to_octopress'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install to_octopress

Usage

require 'to_octopress'

ToOctopress.to_octopress(database_name,table_name,timestamp_column,slug_column,content_column,title_column,path_to_zip_file)

Example

ToOctopress.to_octopress('blogs_database',"blogs","updated_at","slug","content","title",File.dirname(__FILE__))

A file named to_octoress.zip will be generated. It contains the list of markdown files compatible with octopress's name conventions and yaml setup.
