[campsite-dev] Data import abstraction?

    Hi Mark,

    I've been following your posts on campsite-support and wanted to bring up
    something we've been discussing for some time: Ways to make it easier to
    migrate data from other CMSes into Campsite. One idea we've discussed for
    some time is the creation of an XML import mechanism, where data could be
    imported en masse as long as it was in an XML format Campsite could handle
    (NewsML, Atom, RSS are the ones that immediately come to mind, but others,
    like Open Office XML or the competing MS standard could also be created).

    There have been some steps taken in this regard, but it may be worth
    checking out, especially if you still haven't migrated all your data over.
    Some development work would have to be done, of course, but it may be
    easier for you in the short term _and_ get us one of the bigger items on
    our current 'wish list.'

    Here's the ticket for XML import as it stands:

    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/ticket/250

    I figured I'd at least try to open this as a topic of discussion, both to
    get your opinion on it as well as to hear if others have done any work in
    this direction.

    Dear all,

    some client is using an webspace provider, and cannot setup apache
    configuration, except per .htaccess file. Overwriting Options in .htaccess
    was disabled, so I had to create an rewrite rule for admin access.

    In my opinion, we could go for .htaccess and rid of the Options line in
    vhost config file. There was already an htaccess file (filename without the
    starting point), I don't know hat is was planned to use for.

    I just added 2 lines, so the file now looks like the attchaed one.

    Also we could go with booth, options in vhost config, and the rewrite rules
    in .htaccess.

    Best,
    Sebastian

    BTW, I found that direct access to /admin-files/some_dir/some_script is
    possible. Even nothing will work there, shouldn't we better block it, or
    redirect to /admin?
