    Export/Import dictionary

    I'm porting an Umbraco Solution with 6 sites, and a lot of work from v3.0.3 to 4.0.3, and taking the opportunity to redo much of the work the way it should have been done. I'll probably be looking into using UmbImport for some of the work creating Xml files from the old site, and importing these into the new.

    But as far as I can tell it isn't possible to import dictionary items with UmbImport, so I was wondering if anybody had any experiences with exporting and importing dictionary items?

    Regards

    I think you should contact Paul Sterling, maybe he has a completed package. It isn't to hard to implement, and you are right umbImport isn't capable of this yet. It is on my radar for a coming release, both in the free and pro version.

    I've written a blogpost how to automatically add dictionary items a while back. In the example code you could see how to add dictionary items and add values per language. What I would do is create an sql statement that references your old 3.0.3 database and use that data to import into 4.0.3 using the API.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Indeed, we do have a utility for dictionary import/export and it works wonderfully.  Most of the credit goes to David Hill for the work on this utility.

    We have been using it on a very large localized installation (27 sites) and it saves us loads (loads!) of time.

    We are planning to release it to /projects/ very soon.  Just working out the license.

    Thank you both, it's nice to know I'm not missing anything obvious

    Pauls solution sounds promising, but I'm a bit short for time, so I'll have a look around, and see if I can piece together the necessary SQL statements to get the data out from the old database, and then check up on Richards blog post.
