How to export whole ez publish content?

Friday 27 May 2011 12:26:00 pm - 6 replies

I want to export whole ez publish 4.2 content, including linked files, images, text etc... Is it possible to do so?

I could only export class using package. Is there a way to export the whole website content?

Some help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Viraj

You can export classes via the package system. About content objects, you can try with eZXMLExport.

Is it possible to use ezcsvexport.php and ezcsvimport.php in bin/php/ ? I followed the instructions of http://www.adn741.net/index.php/Import_export_de_contenu but didn't managed to use the ezcsvimport.php to import. Can someone please give me some explanation about the ezcsvimport parameters like class_identifier. Which one does it refer to?

Using csv import and export is not good enough to backup/restore eZP, I'm afarid. Some datatypes will loose some information, and a lot other things will be left out, too (eg. object states or multiple-location assignments).

The proper way to export content is, as Jerome said, via the packaging system.

Or you can do a backup of the database + a zip of var/storage and var/siteaccess/storage directories

Gaetano,

 

I have a 4.4 EZ install... what would be better to update to the newest stable version, to export and then import or by making the upgrade process which to myself seems very coplex and dangerous?

Hi Luis,

i would do the upgrade from ez 4.4 to for example 2012.5. In my opinion this is much easier than export and import the whole structure.

Cheers Felix

Felix thanks a lot! , official upgrade tutorial is not clear, for example it does not state clear if I should rewrite files or make a new directory, and if the folders stated is all there is to be moved... Does not make me fell confident its an error free upgrade, looks like lots of possibilities to have problems in the way.. Or worst of all get stucked.Are additional extensions moved? I tried to do this once and find out there was no install at all, all the content was not loaded. Not sure what my mistake was.Hope to find some help here as my 4.4 is getting pretty buggy...
