This product allows you to import/export via Generic Setup your Topic/SmartFolder items.

Project Description

This product subclasses the FolderishExporterImporter class of GenericSetup to be able to import/export Topic/SmartFolder items metadata as a file.

You install it using GenericSetup:

  • in the zmi, go to portal_setup
  • in the properties tab, choose "SmartFolderExportImport" and update
  • then in the import tab, run all the steps

When you export the structure of your site (using GenericSetup), it will create a folder whose name will be the id of your topic. In this folder, you will have:

  • a ".objects" file, listing the subtopics if there are some
  • a ".topic_props" file, listing the properties of your topic
  • a "criteria.xml" file, listing the criteria on your topic
  • a "syndication.xml" file, listing the syndication properties of your topic
  • some subfolders for the subtopics if there are some
It has been tested with Zope2.9.6 and Plone2.5.
