This is a light-weight module that allows you to connect to the database of a remote site and import a vocabulary's taxonomy terms into a current or new vocabulary on the local site.
Assumptions:
- You have knowledge of the remote site's database connection information.
- You have access to the settings.php file of the local site.
Supporting Information:
- This module allows more updates to the original taxonomy terms to be imported on updates.
- Included in install file for this, a new table gets added to the schema that has three (3) reference fields to record the original tid, vid, and parentid for use with specific theming and to help with future updates, etc.
Install:
-
Update settings.php $db_url variable to be an array with the values of $db_url['default'] and $db_url['taxomomy_import']:
Example
$db_url['default'] = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/localdbname';
$db_url['taxonomy_import'] = 'mysqli://username:password@remotehost/remotedbname';
