Import / Export API ready for beta testing
Hi all, My Summer of Code project, the Drupal Import / Export API, has finally reached what I would consider to be 'beta quality'. The module currently supports import and export of all entities in Drupal core (e.g. users, nodes, comments, terms/vocabs), as well as CCK nodes / fields / node types. All supported entities can be imported or exported in XML or CSV format. The Summer of Code officially finishes next Monday (21st Aug). I would appreciate it very much if anyone who has the time (and the curiosity!) could help out with testing my work. The module is compatible with Drupal 4.7 stable (although it has no 4.7 branch, only a HEAD branch), and it can be downloaded here: http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi How to install and test it: 1. Extract and copy the package into your site's '/modules' dir. 2. Enable both the 'importexportapi' and the 'importexportui' modules at 'admin/modules'. 3. Perform exports at 'admin/export'. Currently, exported data is simply outputted in a themed page. 4. Perform imports at 'admin/import'. Files for importing can be found (and played around with) in the '/testdata' dir of the package, and all valid files in this dir are listed for import in the UI. Needless to say, imports should be conducted in a test environment ONLY - there are bound to still be bugs, so don't do this on a production site. Docs, notes, etc. can be found on the wiki: http://basement.greenash.net.au/soc2006/ Discussion can be found on the group: http://groups.drupal.org/soc-import-export-api Please submit all bugs to the issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/add/project_issue/importexportapi Many thanks, Jaza.
