I accidentally created a category whose name didn't begin with the word "Category ", unlike all the other categories. I can't seem to delete it. Can someone help me out and clean that up?
You need someone with the admin password to delete pages - but you can make a redirect yourself from "MBTA Red Line" to "Category MBTA Red Line" using the syntax "#REDIRECT [[Category MBTA Red Line" on the former. Probably best to remove all categories/locales/other info from redirected pages, too, to avoid it coming up in searches.
Also, for future reference, you don't have to create the categories yourself - just add something to a page as a category, and if the category doesn't exist then it'll be auto-created.
Also, while the forms interface is fairly easy to use, it would be even easier if I could just do a bulk RDF/XML import. Is there a way to do that?
I think crschmidt might have done something like this at some point?
AFAIK, it's built into the application. Just go to http://anyguide.openguides.org/?action=index;format=rdf
However, it's unlikely to be valid RDF, because of XML encoding issues.
Once you have this page, you can use it as a scutterplan to get the rest of the data.
Getting the data out takes 30 seconds on the Open Guide to Boston, and returns 5.4MB of data. The file, after being downloaded and XML errors corrected, is available from http://boston.openguides.org/all.xml .
(I don't recommend opening that file in Firefox, for what it's worth.)
Of course, if you really want all the data, the best way to get it is to set up your own guide instance with the database dump, available from the http://boston.openguides.org/?Database_Dumps page, rather than pounding away at the server to get all the pages out.
