Weird trouble importing from Movable Type 2.63
I’m moving a weblog from Movable Type 2.63 to Textpattern 4.0.3.
That Blog has one User (the owner), around 8 categories and 120 Posts.
I exported all entries from Movable Type to a Flat TXT File that looks like this:

The trouble is that the content of each post it’s not imported, just a few characters, and the titles with accents or spanish characters (like ñ) are truncated.
I’ve tryied to find the solution through the Forum but I couldn’t …
Any help?
Thx

Could you please post an incorrectly imported entry? I know you described the problem you’re having (and thank you for that!), but sometimes it helps to see what the import script coughed up.
And also, the diagnostics from Textpattern (low should be fine) would help us see if your problem is server-related. From the sound of it, I’d say it was the import script, but just in case….

Thanks Elenita. I’ve also posted this in the spanish section ( Here )and as Juanjonavarro suggested I convert the MT File (txt) to UTF-8 and everything seems to work well (I just tryied with one post). After import I received two alert messages:
max_execution_time = 330
and
Notice: Undefined variable: blogid in /home/httpd/vhosts/sitedomain.com/httpdocs/textpattern/include/import/import_mt.php on line 77
but the post was imported very well!
