    Exporting Macros

    Hello,

    I want to export macros from my dev box to the web.  Is it safe to export the data from the the three cmsMacro tables (<span style="font-size: x-small;">cmsMacro</span><span style="color: #808080; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #808080; font-size: x-small;">,</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> cmsMacroProperty</span><span style="color: #808080; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #808080; font-size: x-small;"> and</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> cmsMacroPropertyType) straight into my web database?</span>

    Hi,

    I would use the packager for that. Go to the developer section -> Packages -> Right click -> Create fill in the properties -> select the macro's you want to export -> Select the files(xslt/usercontrol) associated with the Macro.

    When you hit save and publish you can download the package which you can import on your live box.

    Hope this helps you,

    Richard

    Great, thanks for that.

    Is this potentially a way to migrate a whole website? Because when creating a package there is option to pick a content node and include children, so if I pick the root and include all children, and then tick all the macros, stylesheets, template, doctypes etc. etc. am I effectively migrating the whole website?  Or is there a limitation I should be careful of?  If it is, then why umbraco.courier on umbraco.pro?

    Cheers,
    Sheriff
