Day One 2 breaks exporter

[davemee]

The application storage has both changed names, and deprecated features - iCloud and Dropbox are no longer supported.

[pwaldhauer]

Yeah, sorry.

Since I have no plans on buying Day One 2 I won't be able to bake in support for that, sorry. Maybe someone else could do a bit of research on the new data format and if it's even possible to create new posts from external sources?

[davemee]

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I think I can make the fix, but I'm not so familiar with how how Elizabeth is structured - if you could answer a couple of questions I'll have, I'd be happy to add in a Day One 2 exporter.

[davemee]

I've forked it and created a DayOne2Export.js, butchered from your DayOneExport.js.

However, I'm a little over my head - I'm getting an error you might be able to shed some light on.

when I tell it to use the new exporter (which I know it's pulling in - I have it dump out 'this' around line 198 inside loadEntries() which gives me this:

Any ideas?

Elizabeth uses my DayOne library to read/write entries. I think you need to bake in DO2 support there first:

[davemee]

Thanks Philipp,

You're absolutely right, of course. You also know I have 3 months of Moves data I've not imported yet! :)

It was a fairly simple tweak to get your Day One importer to support Day One (1) and Day One 2 - just running some checks and then I'll pop the changes over there.

Thanks again!

[blueneogeo]

Hi dave, did you ever complete those checks and get it to work?

[davemee]

I was in deeper than I hoped to be, @blueneogeo. In the end, I just symlinked the Day One 2 import folder (I think it's in ~/Library/Day One 2/ somewhere) to the Day One 1 import folder, and it carried on fine.

For a while, anyway - something else has snagged for me and I need to look into it properly. Try the symlink for a quick solution that might work, though.

[blueneogeo]

Thanks, I will give your symlink solution a shot
