tumblr-to-ghost's Introduction

Tumblr to Ghost

This tool takes advantage of the exact format of the exported GhostData.json via the Ugly Debug Tools. It maps your Tumblr blog posts data to this format, creating a file that you can import directly to Ghost. It also creates all your used tags from Tumblr so you can use them later in Ghost. Check out an example export.

Installation

Installing on Heroku is the easiest option. Simply clone the repo, creat an app, and push.

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku config:set PATH=bin:/app/.heroku/python/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

If you'd like to install locally, first ensure that Pandoc is installed and available.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
DEBUG=True TUMBLR_API_KEY="<API KEY HERE>" python web.py

tumblr-to-ghost's Issues

Thank you

This helps tremendously!

I'm working on getting http://samuelgoodwin.tumblr.com off tumblr and onto ghost and your tool is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[Bug] *.json file not importable when duplicate titles in tumblr src

When the tumblr post has multiple posts with title "abc" the export files will generate the same amount of posts - unfortunately do all have the same slug. Ghost will refuse to import *.json files wich contain multiple posts with an identical slug.

Quick fix:
In line 116 assign e.g. the timestamp:

[...]
                'title': title,
                'slug': slug + str(timestamp),
                'markdown': body,
                'html': body,
[...]

Better fix:
a) Create the first slug as before. Increment every next slug.

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello"

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello-2"

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello-3"
[...]

b) Create the first slug as before. Add timestamp to every next slug.

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello"

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello-2015-05-01"

#1 Post title = "Hello"
slug = "Hello-2015-05-04"
[...]

The decision is up to you @jpadilla :)

tags not imported correctly

Scenario:

Tumblr entry #1 has tags:
#a, #b, #c

Tumblr entry #2 has tags:
#a, #b, #d

After exporting posts are created with following tags:

Ghost post #1 has tags:
#c

Ghost post #2 has tags:
#a, #b, #d

=> Every tag is only assgined to a single post.

This leads to following tag overview:

This is how this certain overview should look like (with a correct tag assignment):

Title cannot be longer than 150 characters

Maybe do a check somewhere? I can't import mines because of this 😢

Tag.slug items can be duplicated

Should do some kind of check for duplicates before adding the item to the array.

A couple of issues with text import

Great tool, but it has a couple of issues with text import:

apostrophes are stripped from the imported text: the titles keep their apostrophes
newline (\n) is inserted at every text break of the web-formatted blog, which does not follow the actual text layout of the post

I've also noticed that if I tried to import my blog using the my own domain address it failed, but if I imported it as my_blog_name.tumblr.com it worked just fine. Might be similar reason why a number of people said they couldn't export their blog.

Thanks for all your hard work. (And if I had better working knowledge of python I would've rolled my sleeves up already and posted the code that would sort out the two issues I've found.)

Tumblr API key issue

I'm running the project locally after getting an error on the heroku app, I found that self.get_blog_info() can be causing the error because Tumblr is not authorizing the API call, this is the response {u'meta': {u'status': 401, u'msg': u'Not Authorized'}, u'response': []}
