Thanks, but I need a script to import from an ordinary RSS xml feed. I’m now trying to edit your php script if that is ok, if it is ready I will leave a comment again before I use.

Is there a way for this to work with the new Google Reader, there is an option now to export your Starred and Shared items to JSON XML.
It could be useful since they killed the Share option.

The tumblr ‘feed import’ is very misleading.. And sadly they don’t offer any fee based importation!!! Any chance we can get an export.php with dropdown menu which lists: delicious, mixx or others, etc… ?

Certainly would appreciate it!

[…] how to get Tumblr to import the entire contents of an RSS feed (not just recent entries), I found a nice solution using the Tumblr API and php. I then created a few separate Tumblr accounts for some page sets […]

Matt J: Hmmm, no idea. Unless Delicious or Tumblr changed something recently, it should work. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did indeed change something.

not been having much luck with this.

I saw in the php file the ‘Check for success’ bit – even if I put the wrong password in it doesn’t come up with the error message – any ideas?

Thanks for the post. I will try again when the script link is working.

Tigerblade: Funny, it turns out I’ve been entering tags “wrong” this whole time on Delicious. I would like to think comma delimiting used to be allowed and now it’s been ditched in favor of space delimiting, but I can’t say for sure. Anyway, I just modified the script so it handles both space and comma delimited tags automatically. I lightly tested it and it works. Try redownloading the script and let me know if it works for you now. Thanks.

I should note that I briefly looked through the PHP… while it seems to loop through and fetch all the tags, the output page only prints the first one.

$deliciouspost[tags][0] = trim($deliciouspost[tags][0],','); echo $deliciouspost[tags][0];

But that shouldn’t matter because later on it takes the whole array and sends it to Tumblr, so… what am I missing?

(in any case, thanks for this script! some of us are just too lazy to write it ourselves *ahem* me *ahem*)

Tigerblade: Interesting. My delicious feed separates all my tags with commas. It looks like yours separates them with spaces. Will have to hack around that somehow.

Mike: I see just one tag per entry on the output screen. Here’s the tag snippet from the XML…

tag="list reference code web design to:tumble"

So for this bookmark, only the tag “list” will be imported for some reason.

Mike: Well I’ll be. Looks like maybe a “bug” in Firefox 3.1 Beta 2? I get Error 404 – Not Found. Guess “beta” means “beta”.

I tried the link in both IE7 and Firefox 3.04 and it works just fine. Thanks!
