Import/Export of "content" and necessary database-tables & fields should be made much more easier for theme-/content-developers for testing.
A possibility to get a basic-website structure which is typical for a website with example content would help beginners much more than a text documentation to explore drupal a besides deliver them more fun !!!

yched commentedThat's (one of) the job(s) of Features module.

Features doesn't support exporting/importing content (nodes).
There are no plans to support this in the 6.x branches (as far as I know).
... maybe as a d7 feature

How about ctools ???

yched commentedaw, content (data), as opposed to content-type definition (structure).
Right, exporting data is not for Features.
Right now, there are there are several approaches at various states of maturity / stability / easiness-of-setup : Deploy, Feeds...
Anyway :
- this is not for core D7 (feature frozen for a long time now)
- this is not for Field API
- this is most probably not for core itself. Core queue cannot hold broad feature requests like "it would be cool to be able to do X". When some approach stabilizes and gathers momentum consensus in contrib, then a core issue for "bring XYZ module in core" can be created and discussed. Before that, the core queue is not the place for this.
Comment #5
drupa11y commentedBesides a hint / workaround for creating several content much faster.
1. Fill out the form and for the user type in a non existing username.
2. Enter an existing & click save
3. Now you can go back in browser history and save again the same inputs as new node.
Comment #6
ronan commentedSorry, still not in the right place. Backup and Migrate is designed to create backups of your entire database, not to help stage or deploy content. Sounds like the 'Deploy' module is the closest to what you're looking for. I'm going to close this ticket, if you want to reassign it to that project you can but since your request is simply asking for the functionality it provides (to at least some degree) you may want to just try out that module and see how that goes.
Good luck
Comment #8
drupa11y commentedThis issue can be solved with 2 modules:
1. Features - it´s able to export the content-types, users and all structure you need
2. For the "node-content"-export/import use the "Node Export"-Module.
