Hi,
If you already have a database, why are you using a Jahia template instead of developing a new stand alone "portlet" (webapp) in order to deliver a view on your existing data (using the Portal layer and not CMS layer)?
If you want to use the CMS layer, what about synchronisation issue between the two systems? Is this a one shot import? Finally if you want to import an extract of your database into the Jahia DB, you will need to create a JSP with an adequate containerlist definition + then make an algorithm to automatically create all the sub-containers entries. This may be quite tricky to do if you are new to the Jahia object model.
Cheers St�phane

Hi,
thanks for your fast response.
What I am looking for is an import/export functinality for the people template. The tempalte has been customized to fit our requirements and another (existing) database should be loaded into Jahia now.
If there is no import/export functionality, how do I have to handle the import myself (e.g. id-ranges for the database, etc.)?

Hello,
What do you mean by "people database"? The address book webapp? The Jahia template People?
If you want to extract some content from Jahia you may use the XML export engine. If it is related to a specific webapp and there is no export/import feature yet, you will need to develop one.
Regarding content import into Jahia, this is more complex, but if it is just related to a page, you may make a specific "import JSP template" to automatically populate some Jahia containers (for advanced Jahia developers only!).
