Re: [4cdg] csv export/import uploads
Hi,
I notice you can import into an upload table, but you cannot export from an upload table. Is there any easy way to get the images from one cms to another using these 2 plugins?
The most straight forward way to get uploads table data from one CMS install into another would be to export the database then import into the new CMS install. Before you import, you would need to do a quick search and replace to update the uploads server file path in the mysql file.
In CMS Builder 2.07, there is also a new feature the that allows you to pick a specific table to backup so you could choose the uploads table.
The issue is that you are moving several cms's into one cms. The uploads are associated with a record based on the recordNum. It is going to be extremely difficult to match the uploads to the associated records as you have probably renumbered the associated records when you combined multiple CMS data.
If you can use the database export/import for the bulk of the uploads, that would be the best approach. Then manually match up the records in the database file.
