Hi Community,
I'm tryng to migrate an existent Blog (articles, templates and images) using OpenContent from an old website (09.02.00) to a new version (9.13.03) of the same website. I created the XML file using the export feature but I can't seem to make the file visible in the new website. When I try to run the import I can't see the file even though the file it's right there.
I already included XML to the list of permitted extension files but the same output.
Can someone point me in the right direction in order to continue with the module migration.
Thanks in advanced!
It really depends on the templates you're using and how they store the data. Do you have any background on that? The more integrated with back-end stuff (services, databases, etc.), the more complicated the migration will be. If you're just using handlebar templates and default data storage, I've done this by copying the templates, then copying the data. Though, the few times I've done this it was a manual process due to the number of instances. I've never written anything to do it for me.
Did you try Full Export and Import under OC "Template exchange"?
I've done this David and the same problem. I can't find the XML file while doing the import feature.

No Sir I haven't; I tried the export/import feature that shows up in the context menu under "settings"; I'll try this option and let you guys know.

Will, I implemented this blog module so many years ago! I don't recall the details. I did manually move the whole OC folder at Portals/0 to the new website since I noticed that the export feature at the settings context menu only provided an XML file. I'm about to try on the option Timo mentioned. I'll let you know in a bit how that went. Thanks
Timo, I tried the Full Export and got a zip file, then I move to the new website and tried the Full Import but I got this error: "An error occurred when attempting to save the file . Contact your hosting provider to ensure the appropriate security settings have been enabled on the server."
I checked the admin logs but I didn't find any details about this.
Any ideas what are the security settings necessary to get the Full Import working?
