JBoss ON would be the good place to copy over the CMS data from one machine to the other. anonymous wrote : | Practical short term ideas/proposition to enhance the export feature : | - Title and Description : Could this be done with a xml descriptor of the archive export file ? | - multiple languages in one archive file : fork the folders a the root level of the exported folders, one for each languages ? Or fork the archive file, one for each language ? | - All this with options to ask the export with these "add on" in the archive, or just the plain files as it is now ? | I think that the export feature was mostly thought as a way to get part of a website for offline reading. I agree that there are multiple ways to achieve want you legitimately want. anonymous wrote : | I have seen no Jira on this ? | is it not planed yet ? | shall I post one ? | No firm plan yet since days are only 24h long ;) I will add the Jira tasks about this thread once i get the time and when everything will be sorted out. anonymous wrote : | May be there are tools related to JackRabbit doing this ? | They made an export tool as part of the Google Summer Of Code, i don't know the status anonymous wrote : | To be able to deploy the portal in a safe, reliable way, I am planning to develop something for when my project is ready to go to prod. | Contributions are welcome ;) anonymous wrote : | Thanks for this great portal ! | Thanks for the feeedbback !
