## Description

Set up your PixelPost database info, and let it work for a while. It’ll import categories,
posts and comments. It leaves a new table in the database, used by the provided 
index.php (see FAQ) to keep the old link alive, by redirecting them to the new uri.

Imported posts are imported as posts with an “image” format in wordpress, the image
attached to the imported post. A “more” separator is inserted between the image 
and the post content.

## Installation

 1. Upload `pixelpost-importer` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

#### Usage

 1. in WP admin interface, go to Tools>Importer
 2. Click on Pixelpost, then set up the PixelPost database settings (in pixelpost.php).
 3. Click on “import categories”, then click on “import posts”. Depending on the number
    of posts in your PixelPost set up, this may take long (around 30 to 40 min in my
    case, I had around 850 posts)

## FAQ

### What exactly are imported ?

Categories, Posts, and Comments. Tags are not supported in this version.

### How can I keep my old PixelPost links?

Here is a small hack-ish redirection script, to set where PixelPost’s `index.php`
was. Note that this works only if PixelPost and WordPress are installed on the same
host. Simply create `index.php` and copy/paste the following script:

    ```
    <?php

    define('WORDPRESS_LOAD', /* insert here the path to wordpress's wp-load.php */);

    if( ! isset($wp_did_header) ) {
        $wp_did_header = true;
        require_once( WORDPRESS_LOAD );
        wp();
    }


    $link = home_url('/');

    if( isset( $_GET['showimage']) && class_exists('PP_Importer') ) {
        $pp_post_id = intval( $_GET['showimage'] );
        $pp_importer = new PP_Importer();
        $wp_post_id = $pp_importer->get_pp2wp_wp_post_id($pp_post_id);
        $link = get_permalink( $wp_post_id );
    } else if( isset( $_GET['x'] ) ) {
        switch($_GET['x']) {
            case 'rss':
                $link = get_bloginfo('rss2_url');
                break;
            case 'browse': // todo one dayœ
                break;
        }
    }

    header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently", false, 301 );
    header( "Location: " . $link );
    exit();
    ```
