No, there is no such tool.

The Liferay API can be used to create journal articles and, if you use the remote API, you could probably create a tool to use the Liferay web services to import the articles separately.

Hi,

I've developed a tool which you may utilize to do this, the DDM Tool.

Some background:
A year or so ago I created a tool for authoring, uploading, downloading and synchronizing Liferay DDM related stuff (structures, templates, ADT:s) across environments. There's a branch of the tool which also handles uploading/downloading of Journal Articles. However, it's not all that polished and I haven't "released it". But, it is available on Github and will most probably fulfill your needs.

So, in short, what you need to do, to use it is:

• Download the journal-articles branch of the DDM Tool from Github: https://github.com/emiloberg/liferay-ddmtool/tree/journal-articles
• To understand how the tool works with Journal Articles, connect it to a server (could be local machine) with some articles on it and select "Download all articles" (or something like that). This will download all Journal Articles and save them as JSON documents on your disk. Take a look at how one of those JSON documents look like. Here's a sample article: https://gist.github.com/emiloberg/81a2e1c2b64c130a8f03
• For each article you want to create (probably each HTML file in your case) you need to generate such a JSON file. You probably want to write some kind of script. Not all fields are needed. Most important, the fields which identifies the article are set dynamically when you upload it to the server. Take a look at this part of the source code to figure out what you need to supply: https://github.com/emiloberg/liferay-ddmtool/blob/journal-articles/lib/articlesUpload.js#L177-L213
• Run DDM Tool to upload all articles to your server.

.

As said, it's not polished but I am using it to transfer Journal Articles between servers, including live production environments.

Ask if anything!
