Re: [Zope] importing data
Hi Jamey, It's also possible (and i think maybe easiest...) to do this in an external method.

Re: [Zope] importing data
Im trying to finish a Product that does a very simplified version of what you want, just sucks all txt html stuff from a file. This can be most easily accomplished using Python reading straight off the file system or xml-rpc or some other system. If you are comfortable with Python its not too bad -- Andy McKay, Developer.

Well, I meant that I have some products w/ data setup in the new .fs. If I copy the old over then I loose what I am currently working on. - Original Message - From: J.

Have you tried pushing the 'Export' button in the management interface? -- Chris McDonough Digital Creations Publishers of Zope - http://www.zope.org ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re:[Zope] Importing data
Please, no HTML posts. I crashed Netscape Mail twice trying to reply. Thanks. But to answer, exporting and importing works just fine if you want to copy parts of an existing zope site. It even works recursively, so if you want to export an entire folder of stuff (or Squishdot site) with subfolders, properties, etc., just go to its enclosing folder's "Import/Export" management tab, and follow the directions for exporting. This will create a .zexp file. To import into the new Data.fs file, put the .zexp file you have created into your [where zope is installed]/import folder on your hard drive. Then open the new site's management interface for zope and go to the same Import/Export tab and use the Import part. If you have 2 Data.fs files and only 1 zope, you can switch back and forth between them (stopping and restarting Zope in between so terrible things do not happen) by moving one and then the other into the appropriate var directory to do exporting, or importing as you want. Copies of the original files will come in handy if you confuse easily like me. -- Jim Washington Well, I meant that I have some products w/ data setup in the new .fs.
