Bundle Copy allows you to import and export Content Types, Views, Taxonomy, User information, etc. This comes in handy if you have created a Content Type and View in one site and want to reuse it for another site. Once imported, you can customize the fields and displays to meet the needs of your site.

Important Notes before you begin:

  • Be sure to enable all the recommended modules used to build the Content Types and Views. If these modules are not enabled, they cannot be imported.
  • Import both the Content Types and Views before you attempt to customize. If you remove a field from the Content Type before you import the View, the View will not import properly.
  • If you adjust your Content Type, be sure to add/remove the field from the View.

Importing/Exporting a Content Type

  1. Export the Content Type by selecting Structure -> Content Types -> Export
  2. Click on the Content Type you want to export and the Next button.
  3. Check the Fields you want to export (it is recommended you check them all in the event they are being used by a related view) and click the Export button.
  4. The next page displays the code that makes up the Content Type you exported. Click in the Export Data* text field and select all the code and copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl C or Apple C). Now you are ready to import the code to your Content Type.

Importing the Content Type Code

  1. Import the Content Type by selecting Structure -> Content Types -> Import
  2. Click on the Import Data* field and paste the code you just copied to your clip board.
  3. Click on the Import button. Your Content Type is created and listed under Add Content.

Importing/Exporting a View

  1. Select Structure -> Views  and locate the view you want to export.
  2. Click on the Edit button next to the View in the Views listing page and select Export.
  3. The next page displays the code that makes up the Content Type you exported. Click in the Export text field and select all the code and copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl C or Apple C). Now you are ready to import the code for your view.

Importing the View Code

  1. Click on the +Import link at the top of your View listing.
  2. Click in the Paste view code here * field and paste the code you just copied to your clip board.
  3. Click on the Import button. Your View is created and displays. BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR VIEW OR YOU WILL LOSE IT.
