    Hi - I'm running DNN 9.6.1

    Is there a way to duplicate a page and all it's subpages ? Without having to do so one by one?

    Thanks

    Tom

      I think that the answer is yes.

      Using Export/Import you can export a selection of pages from a site. Then, you can import those pages to a new site. If the two sites aren't in the same DNN installation, then you'll have to move some files.

      I tested this on 9.8.0 rc1, but it probably works on 9.6.1.

      You'll also want to check that modules and skins are compatible. And you'll probably want to test this first to make sure that things work correctly. If you could, report back and let us know how it goes.

        I'm trying to duplicate within the same site. I am looking at the Import /Export on a test server to see if it will work for me. Currently waiting to see if my Export will run.

        Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what happens.

          The Scheduler needs to be activated. You can also adjust the frequency for the Export/Import task so that you don't have to wait for it. When you don't need it, you can set it to run less often.

            Thanks - I did get the Export to work. Now trying to Import it, got it to start, but it seems to just hang on "In Progress" . Any tips?

            Thanks again,

            Tom

              Take a look at the log4net files and the Admin Log to see if anything turns up. Also, take a look at the scheduler task history to see if anything is logged there.

                Thanks for your reply - I do see a Scheduler Exception in the Admin log, which reads:

                Access to the path 'D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Sccinternet_test\Portals\7\Images\1_Meaningful-Use_Arrow.jpg' is denied.

                What do you think I should do?

                Thanks

                  Hi again - I tried again, by doing an Export with no assets (just pages/ page templates), and then Importing that Export. And it worked!
                  Now, how do I access the new Import? I don't see it in the ExportImport/ folder

                    I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you imported pages, they should be in the Pages listing.

                      Thanks - OK I looked in the Pages and I think they are there, but I think they just replaced the old versions of the same pages. I was trying to duplicate them all. I guess the Import will just replace the same pages in place, unless there is some other way to do this.

                      Let me know what you think. I appreciate all your feedback.
