How can I export pages? - aa6yq - 2014-09-18

How can I export pages from GetSimple into local HTML files?


RE: How can I export pages? - Lars - 2014-09-18

What about grabbing?

Winhttrack could be your friend.

HTTrack is good for 'ripping' complete sites, but just a browser is often enough. Use File - Save As and check you have all the files you want. A browser will open and save a css file for instance.

Thanks, but with 40-50 pages to export (about 25% of the site), I was hoping for something more automated than having to save pages one-at-a-time from my browser.

40-50 :-) Nice!

With winhttrack I grab 1000 pages in seconds/minutes...

winhttrack unfortunately grabs HTML for each full page, including the nav bar.

Sounds like I must manually copy the HTML source from GetSimple, one page at a time.

I haven't tested these plugins, but may be worth a look:

http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/html-navigation/424/
http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/html-navigation-20/654/
http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/static-pages-plugin/198/

(found them by searching for "static" in Extend)


RE: How can I export pages? - shawn_a - 2014-09-23

What exactly are you looking to extract?

It all depends on your theme, do you want the theme html?
you could remove your theme get_header call to remove the header in output.


RE: How can I export pages? - Lars - 2014-09-23

You never said, that you only grab the content area...

Write a nice and tiny script and pull your information directly from the xml-files.

Thanks, but from the description, those all look like they would return HTML for the full them; I'm seeking HTML for the page content only.

Yes, temporarily modifying the theme would limit the HTML to what I'm seeking. Thanks.

I was checking here to see if that wheel had already been invented.


RE: How can I export pages? - The_Shopkeeper - 2014-09-24

I've got a similar requirement.
I have 2 websites, one public facing, one on our intranet.
I want to use the content from the public facing site on the intranet version (one update for both sites) but have additional pages on the intranet too.

It seems all I need do is pull in the xml data file from the public facing site and display it within an intranet page. ( /data/pages/aboutus.xml )

Blush Not sure yet how to do this but will have a go and report back.

If anyone has any suggestions, please share, and aa6yq, the content data is in these files so it may be the way to go, just not sure what your objective is.

Blush Ok - that didn't work. I don't have permission to view the /data/pages from an external source. Back to the drawing board.

Thats not really a similar issue , I would start a new thread.


RE: How can I export pages? - parveenk2912 - 2014-10-12

Is there any option to export the content in CSV format so that we can easily import them later.

Are there any tools out there to export post content? I'm ultimately trying to migrate the posts only to Wordpress.
