I am using drupal 4.7 with the categories module installed. I am on a hosted server in a subfolder setup. No idea exactly what might be relevant in explaining the behavior of this module for me as I've never seen it working. I cannot submit the first page of either the import or export modules as there is no "entity" content to choose from on either form. Permissions are correctly set. Too complex for me to debug :) Why does it not locate content? Is this a path error?

The I/E UI will work on content types. The UI is a sample utilization of the API itself, and was programmed to I/E sets of data which are categorized as a content type, such as page, story, role, menu item, etc. If you create a CCK, it will appear on the available list. If you have needs that are more detailed than what is available, I would suggest digging into the I/E code and writing your own module which links into the API.

There is documentation in the module download itself as well as in the code of the API and the UI. Let us in on your progress. This module needs more work to be made user friendly, but it has great possibilities, including making the standard Drupal code base. Any input or feedback is helpful.

Hi, I tried creating a new content type as a test and it was also not displayed on the export ui page. The screenshot attached shows that no content - not the default content, nor my custom content appears. Since it isn't displayed I cannot proceed to the next page. Are you saying that the ui module itself must be modified to work? Do I need to edit it to tell it what content types to allow me to choose from? Not being able to see it working at all yet makes it difficult for me to customize the ui module.. I'm in the dark. Thanks for your quick reply.

That's odd. Are you using the head version? The 4.7 version worked for me in 4.7.5.

In addition to CCK types, it should also be showing the default Drupal content types such as user role, user, block, page, story, etc. Since it isn't showing anything at all, I'd say that you've grabbed the wrong version.

I have tried the head version, however it breaks the site before ever being activated. Simply adding the folder to /modules gives

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_system_listing() in /usr/www/users/equinox/ecliptic/aic/modules/importexportapi/importexportapi.module on line 959

I'm guessing the HEAD version is for the use of drupal 5.1? the listed function above does not seem to exist in 4.7. There are only two versions listed to us non-cvs folks, so the only version I think should work is the one that doesn't list my content. Any debug tips to track down why I don't get any content types displayed? I would like very much to have the use of your module.

thanks

Yes, HEAD is for Drupal 5.x-1.x-dev.

Additionally,

Although the API is already working and is somewhat stable (i.e. it's not particularly volatile), it is still in the alpha stage, and is for developer consumption only.

4.7.x won't fix, I guess.
