Merge Perch Blog into Runway multiple blog set-up
Hi,
I have a Runway project which has two separate blogs running, and I need to import all of the blog posts from a different regular Perch project into just one of the Runway blogs.
Is this achievable? And if so, what would you suggest as the best approach?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
There's no automated import feature to do what you're asking for. There's no difference in the database structure between how posts are stored in Perch and in Runway, so there's nothing that would stop a capable developer importing the data, but it's not something we can support.
Ok, thanks, that's good to know. I'll see what I can do.
Hi,
Just to report back on this in case it's of any use to anyone. As Drew said, yes, the data can be imported and it's fairly straightforward. In this case, it was enough to modify the perch2_blog_posts table in the source database, making sure that the blogID value matched that of the target blog in Runway, and similarly adjusting the authorID. Then I could export the adjusted table and import it into the target database, and the posts all showed up nicely.
