import remaining blog posts from the labs repository. #43

Description

I have used this python script to automate the conversion of HTML files(in _posts) to corresponding directories with contents.lr file inside. The script looks for the images referenced in HTML files in img directory and copies them to the folder. The files whose images were not find are printed to the console so that we can check manually in other places. Two markdown files were remaining which were ported manually.

Images corresponding to the following html files are not available:

• _posts/2012-02-22-cc-legaleratta-errata-annotations-without-republishing-licenses.html
• _posts/2007-05-01-stuffit-10-considered-harmful.html

• Could you replace (http://creativecommons.github.io/tech-blog-archives/more-xmp-toolkit-plugs/) style links with just (/tech-blog-archives/more-xmp-toolkit-plugs/)? the domain and protocol do not need to be in links within the same site.
• Could you put the method you used to ensure that all blog posts and images were ported over in the PR description?

[kgodey]

Also, has the blog-post.ini model been updated with the new field for categories? I can't find it in the diff but GitHub also isn't loading all files since it's so big.

[makkoncept]

No, I thought I would do that after the draft PR would merge.

Just to confirm adding the following would do?

[fields.categories]
label = Categories
type = checkboxes

[kgodey]

I would use strings as the type since checkboxes needs to have a fixed list of options. strings would require each category to be on a separate line though.
https://www.getlektor.com/docs/api/db/types/strings/

[makkoncept]

category need to be on a separate line in <post_name>/content.lr for string type?

[kgodey]

I believe so, I haven't used it before and I'm going off the documentation I linked above.

[makkoncept]

I can make a script to do it.
Just to clarify, the format must be:

title: 32 to 64 bit remotely
---
categories: 
Debian
software
---
author: nkinkade
---

[kgodey]

Yeah, that looks right. You could test it by trying to read the values in the template like the documentation shows.

[makkoncept]

yes, I have tested it using the Lektor documentation example and it is working.
I will make the script to automate this.

[makkoncept]

@kgodey I have done it. Please check the files.
Here is the script for reference.

[kgodey]

There's some kind of error in the script. This post should have "development" as a category and nothing else (see: original file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creativecommons/labs/gh-pages/_posts/2014-12-15-getting-started-hacking-on-the-list.md)

[makkoncept]

This is the only file with this error. I forgot to add the categories to it after it was merged in #43 and therefore the script not worked properly on it. I will correct it.

[kgodey]

this looks good, I've verified with @makkoncept on Slack that the number of blog posts ported over match up.
