= Import Mephisto

Currently a basic / rough and ready import script for Mephisto.


Instructions for use:
1) Setup a clean install of Radiant and freeze to the Edge version
2) Install the comments extension 
3) Update your database.yml to include an entry for 'mephisto:' 
   with details of your Mephisto database. 
4) cp environment/development.rb environment/mephisto.rb    
5) script/console production
   MephistoImport.all
  

= Requirements

* Mephisto 0.6.7 or greater
* Comments extension (list url here)


= What it does to

Copies all of your published Mephisto articles including comments into Radiant

= How it works

It connects to your Mephisto


= Limitations

* Sections are converted to tags
* Assets are not copied across
* Doesn't copy over any layout / templates or any other view information
* Any other advanced features are also not supported.

= What it could do   
  
Have a nice configuration in Radiant where you configure what you do and 
don't want copied across and any mappings.
   
Would also be nice to be able to specify the original Mephisto DB credentials
in the admin UI also.

= Goals
* Copy across existing content - articles and contents
* Copy across users
* Keep url's the same
* Keep existing design with some tweaks
