Static Importer [v0.1]

Maintainer(s): Ingo
Supported by: Not supported

Import an existing website into SilverStripe by spidering it and parsing the markup through custom XPATH and regular expression rules.

The module provides a SilverStripe-specific wrapper around the `wget` commandline utility to spider an existing website and replicate its structure and content within SilverStripe, based on customizeable regular expressions and XPATH rules mapping to SilverStripe database field. This allows you to import parts of the website like content, title, news article dates etc.

Caution: This is a developer utility which is only useful by means of heavy customization. The markup of every site is different, hence the module can just help you get started.
