Drupal2hugo

Overview

Drupal2Hugo is a tool designed to facilitate the migration of your Drupal site to a Hugo-powered environment. It offers a starting point for automating the conversion process, although users should be prepared to customize it to suit their unique Drupal setups. Since it doesn't account for various additional elements introduced by different modules, some hands-on tweaking will likely be necessary for optimal results.

This fork, in particular, has been enhanced to support the Drupal 6 schema and introduced new functionality to handle specific field types like CCK. The tool is still considered experimental and may require some manual intervention during the migration process, making it essential for users to familiarize themselves with its workings.

Features

• Customizable Migration: Tailored to meet individual Drupal site requirements, perfect for users needing adjustments beyond a standard migration.

• Drupal 6 Support: Updated to interact effectively with the Drupal 6 database structure, ensuring compatibility with many existing sites.

• Markdown and HTML Handling: Designed to transfer body content as is, provided that the original content uses Markdown or a subset of HTML.

• Metadata Retention: Generates a corresponding text file for each Drupal node that includes metadata in the front matter and retains summaries as comments.

• Limited Data Transfer: While the main body content is preserved, users must manually handle multimedia elements and other content fields.

• Command Line Simplicity: Building and running the tool can be accomplished easily through command line instructions after setting up the Go environment.

• Experimental Nature: Serving as a base for users to expand upon, the project encourages experimentation and adaptation according to specific needs.

• Open Source License: Released under the MIT License, allowing users to modify and distribute the tool freely.
