Re: Export data (How portable is Textpattern?)

There is plugin for csv imports. So, we can make template\form where all article would be stored in csv format nicely :)

See this post from Drupal founder: CMIS
Seems we get a standard for exchanging data between CMS. Go, go, go!

@n2ce: Thanks! The CMIS article is definitely a short must read in this context (many links).

You can create a simple flatfile database of the standard content by creating an article form with the TXP template tags.

Nathan Pitman runs a series of posts just now which covers this concept in detail, relying on a method discovered by Jon Hicks.

Re: Export data (How portable is Textpattern?)

So, how do you do this ? I have two Textpattern blogs each on their own domain. I would like to import the posts from both towards a new Textpattern install that is on a 3rd domain, which itself is on a new webserver. How can I do this ? I tried exporting the MySQL databases from phpMyAdmin but it didn’t appear to work. And the Textpattern interface doesn’t have an ‘export’ function, that I have seen. Also, in the ‘Import’ tab, the pulldown doesn’t even list Textpattern as a CMS.

I understand there is a manual way to do this, but I’m not techy…

Start by posting a new topic in an appropriate forum, most likely How Do I. You’re much more likely to get help that way.
