import/export collections between different installs

[fyoder]

Is there a way to export a collection and its associated resources
from one install of resourcespace to another on the same server? The
imported collection would then belong to administrative user who could
then manage it however in the destination resourcespace. The process
would keep resource data, but lose user data, since the two installs
might not have the same users/groups.

It sounds like it might be non-trivial, but reuploading large
collections to the second install could be a lot of work for data
already sitting there on the server in the first install.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

No, I think the best way would be to download the collection and upload it to a new collection on the separate install, making sure that your metadata is retained with exiftool.  Any other way could indeed be much more complicated.

Thanks Tom, I thought it might be. It would involve copying both
resource files and data from the tables in a way which didn't clobber
data already in the destination files. Should be doable,
theoretically, but thought I'd ask in case someone knew of a feature
or fix to facilitate it.

How do you download a collection?

I couldn't find any documentation about it.

[Tom Gleason]

Set in config.php

$collection_download =true;

and then you might have some issues around which archiver utility to use. If your php has the zip extension, it's as easy as setting: 

$use_zip_extension=true;

How does this work with very large amounts of data?   For example if a client requests all of the data in the DAM system, and it amounts to thousands of files at around 500gb of data?

Obviously a ZIP file cannot get this big (and would kill the server if it tried), yet it isn't possible to pull the files directly off the file system, as ResourceSpace doesn't structure things in a human readable format..

Are there any alternative methods of exporting large amounts of data other than this, or can you think of any workaround for this (very possible) scenario?

Many thanks.

We are encountering the same challenge.
Anyone can share from experience / knoledge?

Thanks

Hi,

you are welcome to give this plugin a try: https://github.com/ronzeiller/resourcespace_get_resources/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.1

I wrote it for downloading images from a customer including all RS-edited IPTC/EXIF informations and store the images in the filestore/tmp folder on the server in folders called like the collections from where the images are.

Regards
Ronnie

Since you mention "all" data, then it is matter of copying (MYSQL Dump) , then load it as a new database over to the new site. It is the same process as you would perform for a test server "clone", where you basically end up with an exact duplicate system. Then you can "pare down" any assets you do not want on that second system by using delete feature.

But you also need to copy spyder_password, scramble_key, api_scramble_key. In my own experience if you don't do this the pictures doesn´t appear. just the boxes.
