There are some really cool tags in Spectra 1.5+ for this.
<cfa_contentObjectExport>, <cfa_contentObjectImport>,
<cfa_metadataObjectExport>, <cfa_workflowObjectExport>, <cfa_objectPackPLP>,
<cfa_objectPackCOAPI>.
To export a type through the Webtop go to the type designer and click the
package icon in the upper right hand corner. PLPs can moved in this manner.
An example of copying all active objects
<cfa_contentObjectGetMultiple
datasource="#request.cfa.objectStore.dsn#"
typeId="IDGoesHere"
bActiveOnly="1"
r_stObjects="stObjects"
>
<cfa_contentObjectExport
datasource="#request.cfa.objectStore.dsn#"
filepath="#filePath#"
fileName="typeName.objects.wddx"
lObjectIDs="#structKeyList(stObjects)#"
bOverWrite="true"
r_bSuccess="bHappy"
>
An example of copying a type:
<cfa_objectPackCOAPI
typeID ="#stTEx[typeId]#"
dataSource="#request.cfa.objectStore.dsn#"
r_wstObject="wStObject"
>
<cfset file = filePath & typeId & ".types.wddx">
<cffile action="WRITE" file="#file#" output="#wStObject#">
Since site-layout elements are implimented as objects you just use the
<cfa_contentObjectExport> and <cfa_contentObjectImport> tags.
