TOPIC: Read more is at the top of the article

Hi, after migrating I noticed that all of the "read more" is at the top of every articles, as a result it doesnt show intro texts in frontend only Titles. Changing the articles "read more" positioning would be a pain if you have thousands of articles.
Is it being placed there while parsing?
We ony want to present the article list similar to how wordpress does?

Another is that WP allows more than 1 category and joomla doesnt, how can I choose to what category the articles would be under? Is there another way other than deleting the category in WP before exporting? Or sql command to remove that category in every articles.



Thanks

Hey Derp,
Have you parsed the articles after importing?
When we migrate the articles we just select the first category in the list for the article. We don't delete any categories - they'll be there but they won't have the same articles as in wordpress.

Yes I parsed after article import.
The problem is we have this category in WP named "Latest"
every article is under 2 category, Latest and the appropriate category,
While migrating it placed many(thousands) of the articles under Latest.

As of now we tried to remove the category "Latest" in the sql file from WP
then migrate it again, Hope this will end good.

Could you please try the latest dev release:

I think that it should fix the problem with the read more in the wrong position.

The problem is that in wordpress you don't have the readmore tag and when we are parsing the content we add the readmore tag in the wrong place. I think that with the last release we should add your text as intro text and you should have no readmore at all or it will be at the end.

Kind regards,
Daniel

P.S. Let me know how it goes!

Hey Derp,

Sorry for my late answer.
Daniel is right, we changed this in latest version, future called 1.0.1. You can download it from our developer releases (Daniel gave you the link). Tell us if it works.

Best Regards,
Petar

Thanks,

But what are changes in 1.0.1?
Because right now where in the parsing phase of 2000+ articles
Were able to fix the category issue but we dont have a solution for the "readmore" or how to make the article list look more like in wordpress post list style. i48.tinypic.com/2ztbx54.png

Version 1.0.1 changes:
1. Adding base URL feature (if you fill this field all of your relative image source URLs will be parsed like one with absolute URL)
2. Different way of migration (now all post/page content is added to Joomla! introtext column, same way as Joomla! does when we add some article)
3. New error parsing layout, same as migration from 1.0 version

Second one is most important for you. If you want some part of text to be used as intro, then there should betag in the WordPress posts/pages or you can do it in Joomla! by adding readmore tag. Our CMigrator finds everytag and separates that article to intro text and full text. If it doesn't find anytag, then it puts complete post/page content to the Joomla! introtext column. This way complete article is shown on category view.

Hi, thanks for the new version

If I have already parsed all the articles w/ v 1.0, can I parse it again with the new version 1.0.1 to replace the tags & skip the image parsing? or It'll have to parse the whole images again?

Also I noticed these codes from WP pages that became articles
"[gb_contact_form] [stray-random], [stray-id id=14], [/raw], [nggallery id=1]"
Im sure its from WP

Tested the latest version in localhost, seems ok
