I want to migrate all views from my local site to another site.
I know there is a module "Migrate" which allows you to do data migration but I don't know how to use it.
Can you give me some tips?
Thanks in advancej
Not sure what you mean with migrating views to another site. In Drupal, the migration concept is usually associated with actually migrating data - a view is actually just a way to query and display this data.
Typically moving a view to a different site, assuming data structures are the same in both can be accomplished by either exporting the view (one of the options while browsing the views on admin/structure/views) or, if it's not just a one of, by featurizing it which is a process that takes a few more steps.
It's only applicable for drupal site to drupal site
First download features module and enabled in both sites.
Go to admin-structure > features > create feature.
In that you can see General information(left side) and Components(right side). The General information provide some name in the name fields and you can see views in Components. You just select what are all views are needed for that site.Click the Download feature button.
It will downloaded!!!
After that copy the downloaded file to new drupal site which has drupalroot > sites > modules.
Go to your "new drupal site" as (Admin-Structure > feature). You can see the folder name as list in that. Enable the folder name list and click "Save settings". After the save setting finished as good then deselect the folder list, click "save settings" and delete the downloaded folder in module folder.
Note:
The folder name list should not state as conflict. If it presents, then click the recreate button.

I have clients using the DNN CMS (Evoq Content 7.3.2) system and are questioning a specific area in the "Hyperlink Manager". There are two checkboxes (View image):
Track the number of times this link is clicked
Log the user, date and time for each click
If checked, where do we go to view these analytics?
I found resources online that mention we have to create an API for it, but are there any out-of-the-box solutions for this?
After some more researching, I solved my own problem and I wanted to share this with anyone who was looking for an answer to this.
For versions DNN 7.3.2 and lower, the Telerik RadTextEditor includes the feature as mentioned above. To view the analytics with an out-of-the-box method, simply return back to the link and open the "Hyperlink Manager" then navigate to the new tab called "Tracking".
Alternatively, I found developers can implement a control in a custom module called UrlControl. Refer to this link for more information: Link tracking information in html editor (DNN 7.1.2)
In DNN 8+, this feature no longer exists on the front-end UI. I'm not 100% sure if it's still usable or if this information gets migrated when upgrading from 7 to 8, though.
I've a copy of DotNetNuke website on my local machine in which I've added few pages and created new modules.
I've to move these new pages to production so have copied the pages to respective folders. I know there are few database entries that are also to be made on production database to recognize these pages and modules on production.
Please tell me how I can register these pages on production website
I searched on Google but may be I'm not getting the right keywords to search. Currently I've to restore my local db to production to run those pages. I'm using version 7 of DNN
This isn't something that DNN handles very well, publishing from a local environment to production.
The most common way (Besides backup/restore of the database) is to use page Templates. You can "Export" a page in DNN, that will generate an XML document with the modules and content referenced into the portals/#/ folder (where # is the portal id)
You can upload that file to your production site (same path) and then create a new page based on that page template.
Your question implies that you are creating .aspx files and copying those to the production server. That really isn't the way that DNN works, and you probably are creating a real mess.
How did you create the pages on your local site? Did you use the DNN functionality to create new pages, add modules to those pages, etc.? Or, did you do something else?
Use the built-in funtionality to create pages on your local installation and, as Chris
To add modules - Go to your web site in production, login as super user, and install the module, then go to the page in the web site and add it. The same as you would do with 3rd party module. This will properly add the info to db.
To add pages - You could do it within the code, using the
To create DNN page (the tab):
TabController tbc = new TabController();
//...populating the page's info
tbc.AddTab(destinationTabInfo);
To create ascx control as global (meaning doesn't belong to any module) ModuleControl.
var moduleControl = new ModuleControlInfo
{
... populate the fields
};
ModuleControlController.AddModuleControl(moduleControl);
I have thousands of pages which i need to export from qa to production. I have seen the export page function but is there a way to do this in batch? I have found code to create pages but not to extract them. All permissions and settings must also be copied.
You could use the Portal Templates (export) feature found under the Host/Sites page.
That will generate a template for the site, then you could transfer that to production (that would be a couple of files) and "apply" that template to your existing site.
The other option would be to backup/restore the database, that is how most people handle changes between staging/production. Though that assumes any changes already made in Production exist in Staging.
I have a website live on the web. I've been working on the re-design for the site. I duplicated the entire site and database and worked on a test site. Now the test site is ready to go live. However, the current live site has been up for the last few weeks and content has been added as usual. How do I upload my new look for the site, with the changes I've made in the test database but at the same time not overwrite any content changes made in the current live database that were made over the past few weeks?
I want to keep the site content in the database but overwrite any module or theme data with the data from the test database.
My site is built on drupal
Thanks!
1) Upload new theme - this will apply themes changes and keep content in the live DB
2) If you have added any new content types, blocks, fields etc to your dev site then install the features modules. This will allow you to export your new features to a module, and then you can add this module to the live site to import your new features.
See this post for further discussion on the topic.
I used https://drupal.org/project/data_export_import it seems to be working well.
Our company have some data in excels/images files that we want to make available to our employee through our sharepoint portal. However we do not want them to be able to download the files or copy/paste them to their PCs.
For this problem, I have written a silverlight app to display excel file and disable select/copy function. So now we upload the files to a document library, make this library 'viewable' to all users. We have a webpart that access the library and pass the links in encrypted form to the silverlight app to display. From the webpart page, the user can not see the links to the actually files. We will give the users link to this webpart page but not the document library itself.
However if a user goes to the 'All site contents' page, he can still easily see the document library and hence download the files.
My question is : is there a way to have the files viewable without letting the user having the link to download it ?
If there are any better ways, I would like to know as well.
Many thanks
A relatively simple way to hide the library from the "All site contents page" is by making it hidden. You can't do this from the UI, but you can either change the list instance (if you build the list definition and instance yourself) to have the list created as hidden, or you can open the list / library with SharePoint Designer and check "Hide from browsers" in the settings of the list.
Alternatively you can mark the list as hidden using the SharePoint Management Shell:
$w = get-spweb http://yoursite
$l = $w.Lists["yourlistname"]
$l.Hidden = $true
$l.Update()
Notice though that making a library hidden doesn't prevent users from browsing to it if they know the URL of the library. Through a developer proxy/network sniffer (like Fiddler), even if using Silverlight, one could figure out the url of the library if one really want to. Even if the links are passed to the Silverlight app encrypted, the Silverlight app itself will likely have to access the full urls, and as such they are trackable.
