LJ-Sec Tutorial

LJ-SEC HOW TO

MOVING A JOURNAL

I just did it for http://karma-apple.insanejournal.com/ and it worked beautifully.

1) DOWNLOAD LJ-sec, run it.
2) Change the configuration to GJ

3) Login
4) Select the posts you want to move. MAKE SURE TO SELECT FO ENTRIES IF YOU WANT THEM

5) Journal --> repost entries

6) Input your information, make sure to change the interface to IJ (or wherever you are going)

7) Done.

MOVING A COMMUNITY

Follow the above, but before step 3 click 'get subscribed communities'

Choose the one you want to post from.

MOVING TO A COMMUNITY

During step 6 unclick 'backdate entries' and click 'get subscribed communities'

Choose the one you want to post to.

(You can combine these obviously if you are moving from a comm to a comm)

	Trying to figure it out for you! While I do that, could you possibly take screencaps of the steps you're taking (feel free to block out any passwords and what have you) so I can double check everything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	:D yeah sure, gimme a minute, where do you want me to put the pictures up, does ij have scrapbook i can upload to or should i use tinypic or whats your preferance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sherlock 2009-01-07 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Tinypic would probably work best, IJ doesn't have any sort of scrapbook (yet!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I tried recreating the scenario with another community and had no problem -- so I joined the one you're trying to move, but can't move it since I don't have posting access. Would you mind adding me (~adarkheartdawns) so I can try and move some posts and see what happens? I'll leave right after the diagnostic, promise :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know what, I'm a big dummy. When transferring (http://i44.tinypic.com/9k8f13.jpg), unclick 'preserve metadata' -- its possible the icon set you're using at your comm is not supported at IJ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seratonation 2009-01-07 03:12 am UTC (link)
	ok, trying that now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	seratonation 2009-01-07 03:14 am UTC (link)
	tacklehugs it totally worked! thank you! also if you want to hang around and see what i have up you are totally welcome XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sherlock 2009-01-07 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Great! If I'm ever in the LJ neighbourhood again, I'll peruse, I'm sure :} (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hang on hang on, do i need to have a GJ as well for this to work? cz i did it for my lj to ij with none, is it different for the community shift? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sherlock 2009-01-07 02:25 am UTC (link)
	no you don't have to have GJ; basically you would follow step 1, 2 (change to livejournal, not greatestjournal), and then skip down to where it says how to move a community. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
