Module: Transfer Full nodes from a drupal site to another drupal site

3emad's picture

Hello All,

I had been working for couple of days on a module that would allow me to transfer nodes from a Drupal Website to another drupal site (for now).

which includes a full node save along with terms,files and CCK extra fields.

its really been a headache since i started patching the method "taxonomy_node_save" in "taxonomy services";
i have done the step of save a node (piece of cake) but now into the terms problem hence the NID of the new transferred node needs to be send to the remote server.

ill keep you updated guys on it and might release a contribution soon.

if any is interested,please let me know.

this is exactly what I'm looking for right now (that's how I found you)

In my situation, i want to be able to mash up development work on several sites - IE pull nodes (with custom content types), and ideally users as well, from one drupal site into another 'forked / templated' site that has a fuller build that I can make use of. Hope that makes sense?

one planet, one chance

Hey tim!!

an alpha version of it and works well to Push nodes to another server.

my module works to "PUSH" chosen nodes for the both sat up sites.

anyhow,you gave me a new idea to enable the option "Pull" from a server....and enable multiple sites ^^

i wish i have more time to modify the module, why not help the module i made and we can release it?


domain access?

Just wondering if you could outline the difference between this and the functionality provided by the Domain Access module.


Different Databases

Domain Access: a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database"

The module objective my module is "the ability to transfer content from a websites to another each with its separate database "

i'm a lil excited!! (jumping around) hope contributors will help here,i believe this module will be helpful for Content Sharing!!

you can enable you site to be a content provider for different Drupal sites through your own website with a friendly administration ^^


How's it going?

Hi
I thought I would butt in here, from what I have been reading via multi-site setups, mine is unique. I share large parts of the database between otherwise disparate sites. This includes node and node_type but that is really because there didn't seem the easy ability to move content between sites. Sounds to me like that is exactly what you are doing with this idea and so I would like to offer my support as well.

Sounds like an interesting project and functionality we could use. We're watching you - good luck in your efforts.

Hello - I'm around again now and have been experimenting with node transfer using xmlrpc. I have 2 functional modules now (master and slave) but they need a lot of work. Let me know when you are ready to get started :) will be very interested to see how you have gone about transferring nodes!
