Is it possible to import/export EPiServer Community data (entity and attribute)?

Question

I'm working on EPiServer Community 4 project. In development phase, I setup some predefine entity data (add some clubs, some forums, ...) and create/assign attribute to them.

How can I export those data (entity data and its attribute/attribute value) and import later? (I will import when installing my product for customer).

Thanks.

Answer 1

You have to do this manually in the database, or create a custom code that can read the data and store it. There is no built in feature for exporting/importing community data.

Answer 2

You however could use something called Community Attribute Builder.

That will sync your entity attributes from code to target Community site. However for content (clubs, polls, etc) there is unfortunately no such a functionality to export/import.
