[xwiki user] Exporting just a single space
Hi, It's probably me, but I can't seem to find a way to export specific spaces. In earlier version of the import/export there was a drop down and you could select specific spaces & pages to export... now it seems to only export the entire wiki. I had a nasty problem with my wiki (some pages were "bad" and when I tried to delete them I got told they didn't exist) and thought... I know, I'll just export the good stuff and drop the db then import my good pages back in... I couldn't becuase export seems to be exporting the whole wiki (despite a space parameter in the url). So, question is can I export specific pages / spaces only & if so any hints :) Thanks, Dan

Right, we need to add this feature again. Could you please create a JIRA issue and possibly submit a patch for it? ;-) The previous import/export was not very ergonomic in its design and we moved the import/Export to a template so that it's available even if the database is empty (this allows importing a XAR with an empty db). That said, you can still create an Export page and use the previous import/export page if you want.

Hi Vincent, I created http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-800 If you can give me a few pointers, I'll have a look - but can't promise anything yet :) - I need to finish my wiki app first ! When I was trying to solve my problem, I did try to find the code for the current export feature.. but got a little lost in the skin/templates - any clues which one "does the business". Presumably one could migrate the old export tool to the new L&F and improve it's useabillity at the same time... or have the apis changed significantly ?
