A package for importing and exporting content from Plone
Project description
collective.plone.gsxml
An XML import/export add-on for Plone.
Installation
collective.plone.gsxml is a egg, so installation is easy if you use buildout. You just need to add collective.plone.gsxml to your plone part’s eggs AND zcml option.
A example buildout is available here:
https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/gsxml/buildout/trunk
This package needs lxml, see the buildout example.
Usage
After installation, you’ll get two new items in Plone’s action menu, one for import, and one for export.
Bugs, Annoyances, Caveats
This package relies pretty much on the Marshal_ product for plone (which is shipped with Plone). This product, is, while offering great functionality, a bit convoluted and does not allow to hook in using the ZCA.
Also, this package tries to export references, and this is currently done using pickles, which is not safe. References should be exported by using adapters defined by those who actually use the references and know how to export them (it’s impossible to do this in a generic way IMHO).
Bugs
exports references using pickles
messes with the internals of the Marshal product due to lack of hooks
uses pickles, this is not secure
manifest XML is not yet parsed
Annoyances
convoluted code. The code of this package needs cleanup. This will be done in due course.
Caveats
This package can export AT based content only.
This package does NOT export dynamically marked interfaces
This package does NOT export annotations on content

BUGFIX: id set in config.py, UIDs are now no longer exported. This allows for importing the sam eimport twice, whcih would have resulted in UID clashes otherwise.
@@gsxml view: added view to allow for external access of import/export functionality using XMLRPC
