Exporting And Importing DotNetNuke Portals

Scott McCulloch posted on March 30, 2005 11:45 Article Rating

Now that you have exported a portal, you can now create portals based on the template you created. This effectively imports the portal from the template. (note: without users)

To import a portal:-

  1. Login to your portal as a superuser (Host Account)
  2. Navigate to Host -> Portals
  3. Click add new portal
  4. Fill in the normal portal details, except choose the template that matches your exported file name from the dropdownlist.
  5. Once you have completed the details, click create portal

Your portal should now have been created, and you should see your content from your exported module.

Although the import/export works great for most of the standard modules, it does not seem to do a particularly good job for custom modules.

For example, when I export the NewsArticle module to a template, none of the Categories that are defined for the module are stored in the template (and hence need to be rebuilt).

Any ideas on how to implement this type of functionality so that both settings and content for custom modules can be exported/imported using this process?

Yeah, but now that I have an exported template, how do I allow one click site creation from that template?
