I've enabled the Node Export Features submodule, but I'm not seeing how to use it. I had expected to see a 'Node export' option in the Components list when creating a new Feature, but there's not such an entry. Can you give me some guidance on how this is supposed to be used?

I don't understand what it's for either.

That doesn't bode well for the odds of my getting a user guide. :^)

I'll dig into the code and see what I can come up with, but at initial investigation it appears that something's borked in the implementation of hook_features_api (http://api.lullabot.com/hook_features_api).

Everything I see tells me the existing code should be working, but it clearly isn't. I don't have a solution, but I'm changing this to a bug report.

One thing I have noticed, which may be of import, is that when I dsm the output of 

module_invoke_all('features_api');

the only content returned is that set by Node Export Features. Is Features not using this hook itself?

I'm being shown just one node: a node I just imported using node export. The node shows under "Node export" and "Content" which I can choose from when creating a Feature.

The nodes that you want to export must have UUID. To export older nodes that don't have uuid make sure you have selected the content type and click on 'create missings uuids' from 'admin/settings/uuid' under the fieldset 'Synchronize'.
Then you should be able to see more nodes under the feature component, If you don't see the node export component, that means no nodes has been configured with uuid.

brilliant, there ya go, chia is the man with the knowledge

I'm guessing this information would be useful somewhere in a readme, at the least - I'll put that on the todo list

Actually I'm going to strive to separate the features and uuid integration, so I am postponing this issue on #744758: Handle overwriting, skipping, and nid preservation

According to #1225902: UUID module has changed causing node_export_features to throw a PDOException, and also fail to export nodes the UUID integration will stay here.

For me it doesn't work.

I've got the option with UUID Features Integration to export nodes.
Not with Node Export. (6.x-2.24)

Please don't hijack issues. This issue is about documenting the features in the 3.x branch (hint) and it has been resolved.

UUID Settings URL Update

Just piping in here to those who may find this (very useful) Issue/Post in the future...

The path to the UUID settings has been updated some time recently (as of this comment) from what is mentioned in #6 as admin/settings/uuid to admin/config/system/uuid.

I haven't completed testing the whether going there and updating my system with UUIDs for existing content will allow me to include the Node that I want in my Feature yet. Will try to remember to post back again with the result.

Cheers!
