Hi Guys,

At the moment I am trying to merge two established and relatively large websites into a single install. The website in question has an Australian site and a New Zealand site. Different products and contend need to be displayed on each site.

I've been able to successfully set up the multisite module. The initial /dev/build/ modifies the database for correctly sets up the default site.

My problem is that the second site is quite large so I don't want to have to replicate the site manually. Does anyone know of an import script that can import the SiteTree from one Silverstripe site into another site? I can't just directly import data from the database as the ID's overlap because both sites started at ID = 1.

After googling for a bit I'm thinking of writing module that will export the sitetree as a tabbed file and use the sitetreeimporter module (I assume I'll need to modify the code a bit to cater for the changed DB structure that the multisite module introduces.

If anyone else has some precanned scripts or advice I would appreciate it.

Cheers,
Colin

I've used the silverstripe-connector with the external-content module to do these kinds of imports before, though it does rely on the same page/dataobject types existing in both systems. Otherwise, a data dump / re-import from CSV is likely your best bet, unless you want to get down and dirty with re-writing SQL dumps :)

Thanks Marcus, I've used the Wordpress connector before on a site so I'll see if I can get that to work.

Cheers,
Colin
