Data structure for images and files to feed transmogrify.dexterity

I'm having a very bad time trying to import a site from WordPress to Plone.

In the past we've been able to do so using transmogrify.wordpress but the Image and File content types were Archetypes-based.

I'm using the same configuration again but all my images and files are broken:

I tried modifying the structure to something similar to what collective.jsonify exports, but images are also broken:

transmogrify.dexterity has no documentation on this.

any hints?

For each image or file item, you need to build an special object in transmogrifier to let transmogrify.dexterity to create proper Image and File objects.

You need to build something like this:

item['_datafield_image'] = {
    'encoding': 'base64',
    'filename': filename,
    'data': content,
    'content_type': content_type,
    'size': size,
}

Where:

  • image (the dict key), is the name of the field you want to populate
  • content: is the actual content of the file or image encoded in base64
  • content_type: is the content type string (such as image/png)
  • filename: is the filename

thanks! seems the problem was the encoding thing: my data was in fact not base64-encoded and I added the 'encoding': 'base64' by mistake.

besides that, and just to documented it here, the _datafield key needs to be _datafield_file for files and _datafield_image for images.
