Export Mechanism for Articles/Comments

Hello,

i would like to have an “Export/Import” Feature for Articles/Comments in the Textpattern Admin Interface.

So i can save/backup all my Articles/Comments and could import it if i have to make a new installation of Textpattern.

Thank you so much for this great CMS!

Regards

phpMyAdmin, a common feature of shared hosting webspace. Export both ‘textpattern’ and ‘txp_discuss’ tables.

Just those two tables isn’t enough to recreate your website on a fresh install. You may want to export the other textpattern tables as well. Have a look at the rss_admin_db_manager plugin.

Hi,

i tried this “rss_admin_db_manager” plugin, but if i start the backup feature i receive Error Messages.

if i export the Tables from phpMyAdmin and try to import it over the Textpattern Admin Interface with the choice of “Moveable File” than i get the error message:

“max_execution_time = 330”

I have exported the tables as a SQL File and renamed it to “import.txt” and put it in /textpattern/include/import/

What can i do?

Thansk.

If you export in PHPmyadmin, you can also import in PHPmyadmin, me thinks.

i thought this too, but i don’t find any options to import something… i can create a new table and put data in it, but there is no import function…

Select the correct database in PHPmyadmin and choose the SQL tab at the top. There you can import the previously exported file.

perfect! Now it works. I just exported the “textpattern” and the “txp_discuss*” tables and imported the file over the phpMyAdmin Interface and now the articles/comments are there in a new and fresh and clean Textpattern installation!

Thank you! :)
