    [CMS] How do I backup CMS articles?

    I'm sure this is more of a question for vb.org but I'm looking to roll out some articles in advance of our upgrade to vb4 on one site. I'd like to copy/paste those articles but I don't want to do this by hand / I'd prefer to import / export them in some fashion. Is it just a matter of downloading the data in a few tables and reuploading them after the live site is upgraded? User Id's shouldn't change in any of this as we are working off a backup right now.

    I do not believe anything has been written about how to do this - you aren't the first one to ask about this. It's a bit more complicated then just exporting the vbcms templates, I think. You may want to look over on vb.org and see if anyone is considering tackling this issue - export then import. Or see if anyone has tried to just export the vbcms tables and then import them into another test site. I worry about how you would also get attachments imported/exported.

    Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.
