I did a search in the forums to find whether there are any plugins or discussion related to moving a blogger/blogspot website to oxwall.

Moving just the posts will be enough.

Any ideas or suggestions to accomplish this?

Or even any other famous blog importer will be fine. I can convert my blogger file to that format..

I have manged to parse the blogger XML export file. But what I wish to know is that how this extracted details(title and content) can be imported to oxwall blog database?

Please advice on the table to be used to insert this data to oxwall. Is there any API for the same.

there is no possibility to move data from Blogger to Oxwall,

you have to do it manually by copy-paste

@Adhy,

It is possible. I have created a proof of concept and it worked. I was able to move the code from blogger to oxwall blog with just 50 lines of php code.

I am now trying to make it as a plugin for the use of community. I just posted a question on this to the plugin development forum here.

I will try it
Purusothaman Ramanujam
This plugin completed with the minimum required features.

I did not get any help from this forum. It's sad that no one is willing to help.

I have plans to create more plugins. Please help me in the future.

You did not receive any help mostly because you should have created this topic in Development > Plugins section of forum.

And congrats with your first plugin.

Thanks. By this time my second plugin is also out in the store. :)

Even the topics in Development > Plugins section were not answered. Anyhow thanks for all your help.

You're welcome. Mostly the problem is that Oxwall community doesn't have as many developers in it as we would like to have. But it's a temporary problem as community is constantly growing and developers like you are contributing their improvements for the Oxwall.
