Universal Wiki Converter

I am trying to get the UWC (Universal Wiki Converter) to convert a set of 300 pages with attachments from TWiki to Confluence. I have discovered a number of things in the process:

• The converter relies on the target Confluence installation supporting the {html} macro
• The converter relies on the target Confluence installation recognising CamelCaseWords as links
• The converter recognises bullet lists, but not numbered lists - the regexp in the twiki-cleaner module is wrong. I can fix this if Atlassian gives me access to the Subversion repository that contains the source

I am at the moment trying to see if I can get the converter to recognise CamelCase words (that don't contain <nop> or start with an exclamation mark) and automatically put square brackets around them. This should not be too difficult with a Java regexp. I wouldn't like to switch on the CamelCase option in the target Confluence server, as there are thousands of pages there already which might then contain "broken links".

when running the converter I am getting the following error when trying to uploaded converted pages.

java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://WWW.xxx.COM/CONFLUENCE/rpc/xmlrpc

if I paste the url into a browser tomcat returns  a 404 error page with the following

Type Status report

message /CONFLUENCE/rpc/xmlrpc

description The requested resource (/CONFLUENCE/rpc/xmlrpc) is not available.

I am running SLL and I get the same message with http2 and http. 

and yes RPC is enabled on the admin page 

I have about 60 pages in dokuwiki format...   I select wikitype: dokuwiki, give it the appropriate confluence settings (btw, should 'attachments' be the 'media' folder in doku ?), leave the converters alone, choose a bunch of *.txt pages, and try to send them to confluence, and nothing happens.    on screen 5, I hit 'Convert Pages to Confluence', and get the popup 'Do you want to send these pages to Confluence', click Yes, and nothing.

 am I missing something?   I'm running the converter on a windows machine that has java 1.5.0_something JDK in the path.    The DokuWiki files are from a Linux machine, I've copied them to a folder on my local hd....  Does the converter need access to the other metadata (history etc), or just the wiki/data/pages/*.txt files ?

The exported fails for with titles having '?'.

1. The Export funtionality works fine.

2. But when "Send Pages to Confluence" is used, the conversion fails (as seen in the command prompt) for all the titles having '?' because windows does not allow file names with '?'

 Any ideas?

I'm having a problem similar to one reported above.  I'm trying to convert DokuWiki.  I have Remote API enabled in Admin, I'm running JDK 1.5, and I'm using an admin login.  I tried to convert just one page.  When I run run_uwc.bat, I get:

Thanks!  The problem was that I just specified the IP address when instead I needed "/confluence" after it.

Trying to do another conversion with version 41 of the universal converter, downloaded it on Friday...   source pages are dokuwiki format, abut 20-30 of them, I point to the media directory...

Test Settings works, says "The user was authneticaed on the server and has the following permissions on the space with space key: 'fisWiki'[view, modify, comment, admin]".  

when I go to do the actual conversion, the console dumps this error....

Hi.  I'm using Windows, Java 1.6.0_02, and Eclipse and I'm having a problem with the UWC source.  When I grabbed it today and built it, I get the following runtime error:

I ultimately want to add my own attachment handling class.  Could this be an Eclipse configuration issue?  Any helpful tips or advice would be great.  Thanks!

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if I could get some help with the UWC.

Do I have to run the UWC off the server confluence is running off or will it work of any computer with access to the Wiki?

Currently I am trying to migrate some jspwiki content to the confluence Wiki with an admin login. The url is in the format (https://abc.au.123.com:10056/wiki/dashboard.action) and I have been using - https://abc.au.123.com:10056/wiki/ in UWC but to no avail. Is this correct?

Whenever I test the connection it says that the user has been authenticated but does not have access to the space; even if i leave the username/password fields blank or enter a user/pw that does not exist.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
   

Dear UWC developers,

When I convert TWiki pages into Confluence, the converter "eats" some dots. For example, after conversion I get:

TestPlan_RegressionTestPackJAN07.doc|^TestPlan_RegressionTestPackJAN07doc

- in this link, "." is missing before "doc".

How can this issue be resolved?

Thank you.

I just imported a mediawiki with UWC with over 1300 pages. I put them in a new space. Now when I try to open the space it hangs and a java process goes to 100% CPU. Is this a bug and if it is, is there a workaround?

I may be just being totally ignorant here, but how do I get images attached when using the uwc?  I run the exporter and then the converter but when I try to use import on the files that get created the images don't get attached they look like they just create empty wiki pages. 

 for example I get a wiki page called foo.jpg when this should actually be an uploaded attachment.  Am I missing something?

I am having a problem with the converter.  It seems to do the export from MediaWiki ok and goes through the convert all the way until it tries to connect to Confluence where I get this error.

I am running the conversion from Windows XP machine.  I have to run it on this because I can only run command line through Putty on the Linux boxes.  The machine originally had Java 6.  I read this may be a problem so I downgraded to Java 5 build 13.  I got the same issue with this so I downgraded to straight Java 5.  I still get the same issue.  I am using admin as the login. 

 Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hey - I work with John and think I found the source of this problem. The packaged run_uwc.bat file contains this line:

set UWCClasspath=%UWCClasspath%;%lib-loc%\confluence-xmlrpc-wrapper.jar

and it should be

set UWCClasspath=%UWCClasspath%;%lib-loc%\confluence-xmlrpc-wrapper-v4.05.jar 

I made this change and the Test Connection worked. John's running the import now and can confirm once that's complete that this fixed the problem.

I am trying to use the UWC to convert PMWiki pages to a new company-wide Confluenceinstall and have a couple of questions -

1. I am using a standalone Windows machine to do the conversion. How can I implement the batch file listed on the PMWiki UWC page to strip out excess data? (Is there a way it could be integrated into the UWC?)
2. Will the UWC preserve the edit history and group structure of the PMWiki pages?

Thanks in advance.

Converting from mediawiki.  I'm all the way to the point where the UWC is trying to import the converted files into my confluence instance.  But it claims that the user either doesn't have permission to the space or the space doesn't exist.  To test, I just created a brand new space and assigned my user to it.  I log in to Confluence just fine and have checked the spelling of the spackey and that my user has full write access.  Could this be because we have our login behind SSL?  I know I have the URL right, because when I changed that to the wrong one, I got a different error message telling me it's the wrong URL.  I tried putting https in for the site, but it says that SSL is not supported.  Is this where my problem is?  Because the error message that I'm getting about permission or the space not existing is not correct.\

Thank you.

I have recently converted my company's Wiki from MediaWiki to Confluence, and I made a few improvements to the conversion rules which may be useful to others. To add these rules, modify the file conf/converter.mediawiki.properties.

• Disable automatic recognition of Macros, since we don't use them:

  Mediawiki.0020-no_macros.java-regex=\{([^|]){replace-with}\\\{$1
  

• Better support for Strikethrough:

  Mediawiki.0085-strikethrough.java-regex=(?i)<strike>(.*)</strike>{replace-with}{-}$1{-}
  

• Better support for attachments (allow some whitespace inside):

  Mediawiki.0403-re_links_to_images.java-regex=(?i)\[\[Media:\s*([^\]|\s]+)\s*\]\]{replace-with}[^$1]
  Mediawiki.0404-re_links_to_images2.java-regex=(?i)\[\[Media:\s*([^\]|\s]+)\s*\|\s*([^\]]*)\]\]{replace-with}[$2|^$1]
  

• Better support for links (allow some whitespace inside):

  Mediawiki.0420-re_links_alias.java-regex=\[\[([^|]*)\s*\|\s*([^\]]*)\]\]{replace-with}[$2|$1]
  

  
  

Also, the tables converter was unable to convert any of our tables correctly. In the end I just gave up and converted them manually. To find which pages have tables (so that you can convert them), run the following (assuming "exported_mediawiki_pages" is the directory that contains the MediaWiki files):

grep -l -r --include=*.txt "{|" exported_mediawiki_pages

Hi,

I'm attempting to convert our DokuWiki content to Confluence and I'm getting two class not found errors. I see that this issue was reported on March 13 (UWC-201), but it doesn't appear to have been acknowledged by anyone. Judging by the Subversion comments for these two classes, it appears they were deleted when the gui was redone.

Does anyone have any thoughts for a solution or work-around?

Thanks,

Craig Hannah 

We're using version 46 of the universal wiki converter. I read all related documents, also the wiki specific user notes. I copied the mediawiki images directory localy on my windows machine. For uwc I use java 1.6.0_05-b13. I can connect to mediawiki's mysql server and I got the pages. In the gui I added downloaded mediawiki images directory under attachments.
In the exported_mediawiki_pages directory I have an Images directory with empty 0 byte .jpg.txt files or pngs etc.

In the output directory of uwc I have empty .jpg files in the images directory.

When I convert and upload the mediawiki exported pages to confluence where are emtpy pages with name .jpg

I also looked in java-src-code of converter but can't find the issue. The regex in converter.prop seems to be fine, I tested regex with buildin regex tester.

Mediawiki.0403-re_links_to_images.java-regex=(?i)\[\[Bild:(\+)\]\]{replace-with}

We use the german word Bild instead of Media or Image.

The media wiki src looks like this e.g.:

[[Bild: imagename.jpg |800px| anylabel]]

see also link to support. There are the uwc.log and catalina.out of tomcat.

I also tried the whitespace solution of Oren Hurvitz mentioned above.

We converted 3 mediawiki's just beautifully last month. Now, this month we want to convert our remaining 4 mediawiki's and it keeps throwing exception errors and crashing at anywhere from 50-71%. Can someone help us figure out what the problem is? Here is the most recent error prior to the crash:

We are importing MediaWiki content into Confluence using the Universal Wiki Convertor and created a custom regex to convert an extension "getuser: mp12345" that displays an employee name and telephone number into the format:

[~mp12345]

and a link to a telephone directory. The regex is shown below:

Mywiki.0970.tilde.java-regex=(\s)get:user:(.{7}){replace-with}[~$2] {menulink:custom|link=http://q/uid:$2|target=_none}$2{menulink}

All works well except the tilde is replaced with an underscore resulting in:

[_mp12345]

This only occurs if the tilde is adjacent to a square bracket. We have tried escaping the tilde and brackets and using unicode, all to no effect.

I want convert a WackoWiki to confluence wiki. But I found there is no related converter, what I should do?

Hi,

I am just wondering is there any way to convert the watchlist from mediawiki to confluence?  I tried using the API but there isn't such a function.  Is there a plugin available that would do the job?

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi,

 We had been using the UWC for quite a while and it has been working fine.  But somehow lately the converter starts to crash constantly when we are trying to do imports.  It would stop at a certain point, usually at 98% or something close to the end and get stuck there until we restart the import.  We found that we would have to do import more than once in order to get through the whole import.  Does anyone know what is going on with the converter?

Thanks,

Kelly

It would be good if the source can be packaged with the binary download.  Makes it easier to quickly debug a problem should one occur.

We are currently using clearspace but have thought about moving to confluence (we already use jira very heavily). A lot of content in clearspace, though. Any thoughts?

I am having a problem with convering tables. The source is in MediaWiki. It looks like if there is an html tag inside a cell, the whole cell gets dropped in the conversion. There is no error reported in the log file.

The last comment cell doesn't show up in the Confluence page...Anyone seen this? have a quick fix for me?

TIA

I actually tried that this morning, and the colors started to come through, but in general having the <font> element breaks the table, even though I am converting that to elements before the tableConverter line in the converter.mediawiki.properties file. The original mediawiki table just gets copied through without any conversion....

I just downloaded the source to look at the table converter. We have a lot of tables in our mediawiki and getting them somewhat right is crucial to this effort to switch to Confluence. I am hoping to get this done over the holiday week when most of our company is out.

Thanks for your response. I will post what I find.

Can I use UWC to export a Confluence page to other wikis or plain html?

Merry Christmas,

Hi,

I've got an additional 'cleaner' for Twiki, and I hope you could include it in the next release. You will note that I've also added the space name to the Page objects (created by the Converter class).

package com.atlassian.uwc.converters.twiki;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

import com.atlassian.uwc.converters.BaseConverter;
import com.atlassian.uwc.ui.Page;

public class TwikiExtensions extends BaseConverter 
{
   private static final String TOC = "%TOC.*?%";
   private static final String TOPIC = "%TOPIC%";
   private static final String WEB = "%WEB%";
   /**
    * Twiki: %INCLUDE{"%NewAnnouncements%"}%
    * Twiki: %INCLUDE{"NewAnnouncements"}%
    * Twiki: %INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.NewAnnouncements"}%
    * Confluence: {include:NewAnnouncements}
    */
   private static final String INCLUDE = 
      "%INCLUDE\\\\\\{\"(?:%TWIKIWEB%.)?%?(.+?)%?\"\\\\\\}%";
   /*
    * Twiki:%VARCACHE\{refresh="0.5"\}%  
    */
   private static final String VARCACHE = "%VARCACHE\\\\\\{refresh=\".*?\"\\\\\\}%";

   private static final Pattern P_TOC = Pattern.compile(TOC);
   private static final Pattern P_TOPIC = Pattern.compile(TOPIC);
   private static final Pattern P_WEB = Pattern.compile(WEB);
   private static final Pattern P_INCLUDE = Pattern.compile(INCLUDE);
   private static final Pattern P_VARCACHE = Pattern.compile(VARCACHE);
   
   public void convert(Page page) 
   {
      String s = page.getOriginalText();      
      
      Matcher m = P_TOC.matcher(s);
      s = m.replaceAll("{toc}");
      
      m = P_TOPIC.matcher(s);
      s = m.replaceAll(page.getName());
      
      m = P_WEB.matcher(s);
      s = m.replaceAll(page.getSpace());
      
      m = P_INCLUDE.matcher(s);
      s = m.replaceAll("{include:$1}");
      
      m = P_VARCACHE.matcher(s);
      s = m.replaceAll("");
      
      page.setConvertedText(s);
   }
}

Hi all,

I'm trying to get UWC to work through single sign-on (SSO).  Does anyone have experience with this?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris
