[xwiki-users] exporting an old XWiki to a new clean XWiki
In my last e-mail I discussed a bug where widgets are not displayed in the administration web pages of our old XWiki. In an effort to fix this bug, I have tried exporting the old XWiki into a new clean installation. The issue is the bug comes into the new XWiki on importing. I can export the pages one at a time without getting the bug. However, the links do not come with them. This is a very tedious effort to resort the web site this way. Does anyone have suggestions for tools for systematically exporting and importing the web pages? Also, what do we do about the users and other configured spaces? Any other "outside the box" thinking or solutions are welcome.
Do you really need to export/import ? The standard way to upgrade a wiki is to keep the same database and let XWiki migrate it. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade. If you really really need to export/import you have a tool to export the whole wiki in the administration. If the old wiki is very big you can use http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Large+Wiki+Export. On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 1:21 AM, Mark Elliot <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi, I tried this : http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Admin+Tools+Application It's "*Installable with the Extension Manager*", you can even select which space/files to export... Anyway i wasn't able to export the old content to a new fresh installation, it erase some files which makes the new wiki not stable, but i didn't spent enough time to try to make it stable... Hope this helps :) 2014-06-18 8:15 GMT+01:00 Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau < [email protected]>:

Thanks to all that have responded on this subject. What is starting to work for me is the extension that exports large (selectable) spaces. By exporting by space instead of the usual exports, I get the web content but not the widget bugs! It is tedious to import each space but it is working. I tried several (but not all) of the other suggested extensions. So far this works. On 6/18/2014 6:14 AM, walid yaich wrote:
