On several of the posts imported with the MT importer, I'm seeing the following in the .markdown file:

I'm wondering why it's having trouble with the excerpt? Any pointers appreciated.

Phillip.

jekyll 1.4.2
ruby 2.0.0
mysql 5.5.27
gem mysql-2.9.1
gem sequel-4.5.0

Which version of jekyll-import are you using?

[phillipadsmith]

Looks like jekyll-import-0.1.0

[parkr]

Can you re-run the import into a test site after modifying your local installation of jekyll-import with #92's changes? Would have to be in lib/jekyll-import/importers/mt.rb rather than drupal6.rb.

[phillipadsmith]

Added the change from #92 to mt.rb and get this error:

syck has been removed, psych is used instead

Output files still have the same problem.

[parkr]

Hm, ok. You can run gem pristine jekyll-import to get a clean version back. Would you try one more thing for me please?

Please change Line 107 of mt.rb to:

'excerpt' => encode(post[:entry_excerpt].to_s, options),

[phillipadsmith]

@parkr That seems to have done the trick nicely! Many thanks for your patience and help on this today. Happy holidays! :)

[parkr]

Absolutely! Thanks for yours as well. Happy holidays :)
