This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I tried to quickly update my previous post (referenced above), but you were even faster (which speaks positively of the customer service here 😊.

Anyway, I found I cannot export my entire blog due to memory limits with my host, so I’d like to export in blocks of 50 posts+comments (e.g., 1-50, 51-100, etc.).  Could you kindly let me know how I’d do that?

I already searched the beta documentation and found this page:

...but alas, it didn’t clue me in.

Welcome back, Adam 😊

What’s your MO here, are you doing this with a template, or querying the db directly? Either way the offset parameter should work for you. Can you post a bit of more of your code? It’s probably “Howto” but we should be able to get you started at the very least.

Hi Ingmar,

I’m using a set of two templates, as outlined here:

Thanks! (and yep, feel free to move this to HowTo, which I agree is probably a better place for this discussion)

OK, so it’s a template. Instead of

{exp:channel:entries channel="default_site" limit="999" rdf="off"}

simply use

{exp:channel:entries channel="default_site" limit="50" rdf="off"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="default_site" limit="50" rdf="off" offset="50" }
{exp:channel:entries channel="default_site" limit="50" rdf="off" offset="100" }
{exp:channel:entries channel="default_site" limit="50" rdf="off" offset="150" }

You get the idea 😊 Moving to Howto.

Ah, that’s exactly what I needed!  Thanks again 😊

No worries 😊 Glad that’s working for you.
