Hi all,

I’ve developed a module for EE1, it basically allows CSV/XML export of weblog entries (if you choose XML it also deserializes the data in serialized fields). I was wondering if anyone was game to try it out? I will be adding it to EE2 as well but I wanted to get people’s feedback for it before I took it any further.

Cheers!
Charlie

Hey, just wanted to post a report that this worked great for exporting entries from a MSM site, running 1.6.8. Thanks a ton!

Moved up to Community News and attachment removed as per our guidelines. 

Please message the author for the download until he supplies an alternate method.

Thanks!

I must say something to the new guidelines. They cripple the discussion and hindering feedback for developers.

There is a man, who spends time and know how for a new ee addon. Bingo for the community and the ee company. But the company cuts the download link. In Germany the name for this behaviour is “Schildbuergerstreich”.

I look at the forum for several months. Since the new guidelines are on, the frequency and quality of discussion is going down. I feel sorry about this.

Politics aside, the add-on is available on the devot:ee site here

Hope that helps, any feedback still more than welcome here or via @CharlieHawker

I’m having trouble importing XML files produced by this plugin in to DataGrab for EE2. Running the XML files generated by this module throws up a fair number of errors, and I’m betting that that’s the problem there.

CSV export with Weblog Entries Export works great, as does the import in to EE2 w/ Datagrab. I just wish I could export/import the comments with CSV also.

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know - are you getting the errors with the XML from DataGrab?

CSV exports are obviously limited to being simple files and thus you cannot associate comments with the entries you are exporting in the same manner as you can with XML. I could make the module allow you to just export comments for a weblog to CSV (and not the entries) as that would be ok, but both at the same time requires that you use XML.

Cheers,
Charlie

Hi, Luke. Support for this add-on can be had over on Devot-ee.com.

New thread here: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/support/weblog-entries-exporter/newtopic/1263/

This looks awesome. I have a blog running on EE core 1.6.9 that I want to import into an MSM install and will probably try this out in combination with solspace import.

Great, enjoy! I’ve fixed the bug Luke found above with the release of version 1.2 earlier today. Feedback always welcome :D

Charlie - I’d like to use this, looks exactly what we need.
How does ‘Weblog Entries Exporter’ handle Martix fields, or does it handle them at all? Earlier Matrix used serialised data in the db but later Matrix uses it’s own tables. Basically is it compatible?

This is great, but is there a way to get the entries’ associated categories to be included in the export as well?
