  9. INTRODUCTION
  10. ------------
  11. This module allows users to export nodes and then import it into another
  12. Drupal installation, or on the same site.
  13. This module allows user to export/import nodes if they have the 'export nodes'
  14. or 'export own nodes' permission, have node access to view the node and create
  15. the node type, and the node type is not omitted in node export's settings. The
  16. module does not check access to the filter formats used by the node's fields,
  17. please keep this in mind when assigning permissions to user roles.

  19. Project page: http://drupal.org/project/node_export.
  20. Note: this module was originally built upon code from the node_clone module
  21. maintained by Peter Wolanin (http://drupal.org/user/49851) at
  22. http://drupal.org/project/node_clone which was derived from code posted by
  23. Steve Ringwood (http://drupal.org/user/12856) at
  24. http://drupal.org/node/73381#comment-137714
  25. Features integration, relations, and UUID initially developed by Tushar Mahajan
  26. (http://drupal.org/user/398572).
  27. Significant improvements, file handling, and extra functionality pioneered by
  28. James Andres (http://drupal.org/user/33827).
  29. INSTALLATION
  30. ------------
  31. 1. Copy node_export folder to modules directory (usually sites/all/modules).
  32. 2. At admin/build/modules enable the Node export module in the Node export
  33. package.
  34. 3. Enable any other modules in the Node export package that tickle your fancy.
  35. For detailed instructions on installing contributed modules see:
  36. http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7
  37. CONFIGURATION
  38. -------------
  39. 1. Enable permissions at admin/user/permissions.
  40. Security Warning: Users with the permission "use PHP to import nodes"
  41. will be able to change nodes as they see fit before an import, as well as
  42. being able to execute PHP scripts on the server. It is advisable not to
  43. give this permission to a typical node author, only the administrator or
  44. developer should use this feature. You may even like to turn this module
  45. off when it is no longer required.
  46. This module does not check access to the filter formats used by the node's
  47. fields, please keep this in mind when assigning permissions to user roles.
  48. 2. Configure module at admin/settings/node_export.
  49. USAGE
  50. -----
  51. 1. To export nodes, either:
  52. a) Use the 'Node export' tab on a node page.
  53. b) Use the Find content page (admin/content) to filter the nodes you
  54. wish to export and then choose 'Node export' under the 'Update options'.
  55. c) Use Drush: http://drupal.org/project/drush
  56. d) Create a Feature (see tips below) http://drupal.org/project/features
  57. e) Create a View of nodes and use the Views Bulk Operations (VBO) module
  58. http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations
  59. 2. To import nodes that were exported with Node export, either:
  60. a) Use the form at 'Node export: import' under 'Add content'
  61. (node/add/node_export).
  62. b) Use Drush: http://drupal.org/project/drush
  63. c) Using your created Feature.
  64. d) For advanced imports if you are familiar with the Feeds module, enable
  65. Node export feeds module to use with the Feeds import interface
  66. http://drupal.org/project/feeds
  67. NODE EXPORT FEATURES TIPS
  68. -------------------------
  69. Regarding the Node export features module which integrates with the Features
  70. module, any nodes to be used with this must have a UUID (universally unique
  71. ID). To export older nodes that don't have UUID make sure you have selected
  72. the content type and click on 'create missings uuids' from
  73. 'admin/settings/uuid' under the fieldset 'Synchronize'. Then you should be
  74. able to see more nodes under the feature component, If you don't see the node
  75. export component, that means no nodes has been configured with UUID.
