Export/Import content from SilverStripe

[Bob Brown]

Hi there,

One of our clients is using SilverStripe and has a requirement to export information from part of the SiteTree from one instance (local staging server) to another instance (production website). Due to their release process they cannot simply have draft changes on the live website.

Can anyone recommend any good approaches to this where we can perhaps export part of the SiteTree (including user permissions) as some kind of interchange format which can then be imported on the target website.

I have searched around for a solution and this is pretty much the same question as this http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/10146 but there's no good solution to that either.

Thanks in advance,

- Bob -

Plus one. 

I can't find any for now. only site tree import so far.

How other people do content deploy between different environment?

Hi:

why not just use SQL to extract information?

By the way, if you just want to extract pages ,you can use following code:

Let us assuming , you have a page holder "PageHolder", and under holder, there are some sub pages called SubPage.

1> $holder = DataObject::get_one('PageHolder');
2> $ids = Page::get()->filter(array('ParentID' => $holder->ID))->getIDList();
3> $Children = SubPage::get()->filter(array('ID' => $ids))->limit($limit);

then write customized code to export to what ever format you want.

hope this help.

regards,

anru

Not sure if I understand the requirements properly but it might be the workflow module your after?

Or perhaps running a dev task after the deployment to popular content?

You might want to take a look at sspak which is a command line tool used for importing exporting assets and the database/SiteTree
