Tanks for answer

I ended up not using the script above because I could not get the cookie to work. Instead, I took your idea and used it in a different sort of way.

My pages had tons of php includes. I needed the source of the includes to replace the includes when the page is made.

So I parsed the documents using simplehtmldom, put the meta tags into an array, parsed the title, and all of the content within my content wrapper, and then it included changedata.php and submitted the page.

I am using the same exact ssh command that you posted above to achieve this.

I will make some edits to the script so it can easily be used by others and post it!

Thanks for your help and your script!

In ssh it is displaying that it is importing all the pages after putting in the prompt..

However, upon checking the site and data folder, there is no new pages.

After spending much of the day working on it I am still hitting a dead end.

Is the directory for the static files suppose to be in the admin directory as well?

If you have the time, I am available on skype. I am sure I am missing something tiny and will compensate you for any time spent.

@Mike,

You’ll need to upload the getsimple_upload_file.php script to the admin directory in GetSimple. Modify it as needed to match the page titles (I have the title surrounded by

tags). Also change the ‘static’ to match the directory that your files are in.

Once that is all changed, then you would just run the shell commands mentioned in the original post. That finds all of the files in the ‘static’ directory and then calls getsimple_upload_file.php for each file.

Hello,

Is there any more documentation you can provide about the ssh steps? I do not understand them however I can get my way around a ssh client, so I am confident I can figure it out with a little direction!

If you are willing to offer further help I would probably be able to provide compensation as this will greatly**** help me out in transferring 100s of websites over to my custom getsimple build.

In reply to homershines. @homershines I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work when accessing the site through localhost.

Another question. My site is online, but I also have it on my localhost. Can I use this method on a localhost as well?

Thanks.

I’m assuming that you are able to, and familiar with logging in to your hosting environment with SSH. Your host must support it, and there are plenty of resources for learning how to use SSH. I don’t use a Mac, so am not really qualified to tell you how to do that.

I recently saw a post about this script at the Get Simple CMS forum. It’s a great idea. I can see how it could help me to solve a problem that is coming my way soon.

My question is:
As a newbie web designer and Mac user, I am somewhat lost with the steps to use the script. IS there any help that you could offer or point me to?

Thanks.
