Migrating from livejournal to hexo
Migrating from livejournal to hexo
Migrating from livejornal posed some problems.
I want to note that I did not transfer the comments.
livejournal-export seemed to me the most suitable. It translates immediately to markdown. However, tags are not imported. It uses browser session parameters for identification.
As the second option I considered ljdump. It downloads the weblog in html. For identification uses login and password.
Then I had to convert to markdown. To do this, I wrote the script xml2md.

14infile = sys.argv[1]
15print(infile)

17tree = etree.parse(infile)
18post = tree.getroot()

20postTitle = ''
21postTags = ''
22
23for elem in post.getchildren():
24 if not elem.text:
25 text = "None"
26 else:
27 text = elem.text
28 # print(elem.tag + " => " + text)
29 # book_dict[elem.tag] = text
30 if elem.tag == 'subject':
31 postTitle = text
32 if elem.tag == 'eventtime':
33 postDate = text
34 if elem.tag == 'event':
35 postContent = text
36 if elem.tag == 'props':
37 for propsElem in elem.getchildren():
38 if not elem.text:
39 text = "None"
40 else:
41 text = propsElem.text
42 # print(propsElem.tag + " => " + text)
43 if propsElem.tag == 'taglist':

62date = datetime.strptime(postDate, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
63outFile = '{0.year}-{0.month:02d}-{0.day:02d}'.format(date)
64if postTitle != '':
65 translitTitle = translit(postTitle, 'ru', reversed=True)
66 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(" ","_")
67 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(":","")
68 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("'","")
69 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("«","")
70 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("»","")
71 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(";","")
72else:
73 translitTitle = '{0.hour:02d}-{0.minute:02d}-{0.second:02d}'.format(date)
74outFile = outFile+'-'+translitTitle
75
76f = open(outdir+'/'+str(outFile)+'.md', 'w')
77f.write(fullPost)
78f.close()
Conversion can be performed using the command:
1./xml2md <file>
This creates the markdown directory and the conversion result is placed in it.
