Sitefinity Export Document & Files ,Images , Videos from

Posted by Community Admin on 12-Jun-2014 00:00

I need to export sitefinity content from Document & Files ,Images , Videos of one database to other. I know there is some synchronization feature which is only available to enterprize license which i don't have. Is there anyway that through some other way or database script i can export and import data.
I am using Database as storage for those contetn instead of file system.

I am using sitefinity version 6.3

Hi Kamii47,

OPTION 1
Not a solution to your problem, but there was a tool on this website which offered a SiteSync: http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/marketplace/modules/nextwork-solutions/sitesynchronization-module

It seems not to be online anymore. Maybe someone else knows what happened there? It is probably out there somewhere?

OPTION 2
You could use a database script, but I would probably write some code against the API to do this.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hello,

There are two options:

The easiest way to transfer content from one project to another is by using Sitefinity`s SiteSync module.
Use different providers, each working with different database. Here is a thread for working with different connectionstrings: http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/forums/general-discussions-/connection-strings-in-code
You can get the items using one manager (working with Database A) and then load them using another manager (working with database B)

Hope this helps.

Yeah, like I said, use the API, since SiteSync isn't in your reach and using providers isn't quite what you want.

If you need help, let me know.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Actually another option is to download them on the filesystem:

var AllImages = librariesManager.GetImages().Where(i => i.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Master);

foreach (var image in AllImages)

//var domain = System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties().DomainName;

var imageUrl = image.Url;

if (imageUrl != null)

string localFilename = @"c:\SaveImages\" + image.Title + ".jpg";

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())

client.DownloadFile(imageUrl, localFilename);

I have manually copied and upload them to other site. I have to keep them in DB.

Site sync option was good but only available to enterprise license
