Omeka-S sandbox - api import error with Omeka 2 exhibit pages

I get the following error when trying to import exhibit pages from my Omeka 2 instance into the Omeka-S sandbox:

The endpoint http://archives.library.wcsu.edu/omeka/api/exhibit_pages is not a valid Omeka 2 endpoint.

If you point the browser to the URL, it seems to be working.

The Omeka 2 importer for S is set up to bring in items and collections, or users, but is not configured to import exhibits (owing to the differences in setup between S and Classic). You should be able to import the content using http://archives.library.wcsu.edu/omeka/api/

The importer assumes starting at the top of the API, and pulling in everything. Thus, it’s check on the API looks at http://archives.library.wcsu.edu/omeka/api So, try that as the Omeka 2 endpoint.

Also, it doesn’t import Exhibit data, so even assuming that endpoint works, it won’t pull in the data that you are looking for about exhibits.

Yes - the http://archives…/omeka/api endpoint appears to work. The issue of not being able to import exhibit data is a significant problem which I’m sure has been discussed; does the Omeka Team have recommendations for a work-around for institutions with Omeka 2 exhibits contemplating migrating to an Omeka-S instance?

We’ve thought of Omeka S and Omeka 2 as being distinct software, where the importer is meant to ease transitioning – if needed. Both Omeka S and Omeka 2 will continue to exist as parallel projects. Omeka S should not be thought of as Omeka 3, implying an upgrade path.

However, @Daniel_KM has produces a suite of plugins to make a more direct transition. That could be something to look in to for your needs.
