Hi Fred, In my tests I found that some metadata (the carts notes field springs to mind) did not transfer using the rdexport/rdimport method with its XML file. As a result I wrote a set of PHP scripts to export and import carts, or groups of carts, with also allows them to be moved between groups and renumbered etc. The code is rather messy but might be of use to someone:

Should this be done using rdexport/rdimport or should rivendell_filter be used? You’re best bet would be to use rdexport(1) and then rdimport(1). Assuming that you use reasonably recent Rivendell (2.19.x) on both ends, you should get 100% transfer of the relevant metadata. If using rdexport/rdimport, does some kindly soul have the correct command line syntax that I should be using for this? The specifics will depend on precisely what you need to export and where you need it to go on the destination. There are man pages for both commands that should point you in the right direction. One suggestion: you probably want to defeat normalization [--normalization-level=0] on both the import and export (unless you have gross level errors in the original that you want to correct, in which case applying normalization on the import pass would be appropriate).
