Redirector links created relative to wrong root

[davisagli]

I'm trying to use funnelweb to migrate content from a subfolder of one site to a subfolder of another site. Funnelweb is creating redirector aliases from the old paths, but it's not rooting them at the subfolder where they originated, so they don't work properly.

yes I noticed the other day that the redirect are set assuming the _path starts from the root of the site.

I not convinced just rerooting the redirects is the right way to fix this however.
What you could do is move the paths via transmogrifier rather than just specify a target location thats not at the root of the site.

maybe a prefix arguement to the ploneremote redirector code?

That would be perfect. I just hardcoded the prefix in temporarily to get through my migration today.

This was my first real look at funnelweb btw. Used it to migrate 450 pages and images from an old Plone site. Good stuff!

You would lose a lot of metadata using funnelweb. Have you looked at
roks jsonmigrator?

Not important in this case. Thanks for the pointer to the jsonify thing though!

Forgot to include the rest

In terms of using funnelweb for plone to plone or drupal to plone. One
thing I could improve with funnelweb is potentially including prebuilt
extractors for certain systems such as plone theme classic, standard
drupal theme, wordpress etc.
