A combination of a database admin page and console app that exports a Subtext database to Jekyll (Octopress) formatted post files.
This is a fork of Phil Haack's Subtext Jekyll Exporter updated to handle some quirks I have that weren't in Haack's Subtext deployment:
- I don't have direct SQL Management Console access to my database so I use a small ASPX page to export the blog content in XML format and the console app works off the XML.
- Haack had a later database format than Subtext 2.5.2.0 and his exporter referred to columns that I don't have. I have stock Subtext 2.5.2.0.
Drop the JekyllExport.aspx and DisqusCommentExport.aspx pages in your Subtext install where you can get to them from a browser. Hit the pages and save the output as XML.
- Run the console app against the JekyllExport XML to do the conversion to markdown.
- Use the output from DisqusCommentExport to import your comments into Disqus.
