Introduction
From 3.4 it will be possible to export content objects using the package system. You can do this with the command line version of the package manager (called ezpm).
The basics of doing this is first creating a new package, adding your objects or subtrees to the package then exporting it to a file. This file can later on be imported to another site.
Syntax
ezpm.php add package contentobject [options][path|node]
Options
-
--include-classes
Include class definitions in package (default) -
--include-templates
Include related template files in package (default) -
--exclude-classes
Do not include class definitions in package -
--exclude-templates
Do not include related template files in package -
--language
Comma separated list of languages to export.
If not supplied the value is taken from settings. -
--current-version
Export only the published version for all objects. (default) -
--all-versions
Export all versions for all objects. -
--node-main
Export only main node for all objects. (default) -
--node-selected
Export all nodes for all objects. -
--siteaccess
Comma separated list of siteaccess to get definitions from, determines template override data and designs.
If not supplied the value is taken from default siteaccess.
Path syntax
The path is chosen in the same manner as the URL alias which is shown in the path in the browser. If you want to export all objects under the node you must add /* to the end of the path
e.g. news/this_is_news, news or news/*
Note: To fetch the entire tree including users and media you must use an empty string, e.g. ''
Node syntax
The node is simply the node ID which is a integer number.
e.g. 2, 5 or 42
Examples
A couple of examples, all uses forum as package.
All objects in forum
ezpm.php add forum contentobject 'forum/*'
All versions and objects in forum
ezpm.php add forum contentobject --all-versions 'forum/*'
All objects in forum, but no templates
ezpm.php add forum contentobject --exclude-templates 'forum/*'
