Development

I just wanted to say this is my first time trying out geeklog. It is a great tool. I had some problems with the linux install.... but after a couple of trials and errors I got it working.

I plan to use the tool at my school. Is anyone else doing that?? Also in order to contribute back to geeklog I will help out with some php coding and also contribute a monetary sum. I mean...... this tool is really to kewl to not contribute don\'t you think?

Welp... as soon as I customize my site some... I will put up a link here. All I wanted to say was thanks geeklog for doing a great job and service to mankind. Hopefully my contributions to the world will be just as great. Everyone that uses the geeklog portal..... show some moral support and support the tool either monetarily or via coding contributions.

Later guys..

I would like to convert my slash.dot weblog to Geeklog. Most of my content are just contributions and do not include comments and threads.

1. Have anyone done this before and do you know of any conversion tools available to port my existing database across?

2. Can you share with me your experience in your conversion?

Thanks

Last time I tried installing geeklog I noticed that geeklog wants a database all to itself and as a result I lost a lot of tables in my hosted mySQL database. Fortunately I only had test sistes on that server :) For those of use whose sites are hosted on remote servers an extra database has cost implications. I have noticed how software such as phpnuke and postnuke manages with a set of tables denoted by a chosen prefix. Would it be possible for geeklog to do the same? Could this be put on the request list for the legendary version 1.4 Thanks Tony Carr
