    Migrate the Umbraco Media Library

    Hi

    Im looking for a way to export the media library in one umbraco installation and import in into another. The receiving installation is clean so there is no risk for collisions.

    Any advices?

    Eric,

    I recently did this using 2 packages. 

    1. exported using http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/export-media

    2. And imported the resultant zip using http://www.nibble.be/?p=55 please be aware of one issue http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/13616-ZipUpload-error also i am not sure if that zipupload link is to the latest version there maybe another later version.

    Like i say i did it with exporting from 452 site and importing into 4.7 all worked nicely.

    Regards

    Ismial

    Ah thanks, tried that one and couldn't get it to work with a 4.0.0 installation. Guess ill have to adapt it a bit then. Or are there anything else to know about the usage except the

    1. Install

    2. Right click at the media folders...

    It the second point that wont work, no export option shows when right clicking the media folders!

    Alright, but exactly how do I clear the cache?

    The cache handling in Umbraco is very fragmented and spread out :/

    The site I'm trying to install the media export at is a 4.0.0

    eric,

    can you check your error logs also can you check the media export forum see if anyone else has this issue.  if nothing there i would post to that forum.  I used it with 452 export and i imported into 4.7 beta.

    Regards

    Ismail

    It's very strange, the plugin installs and everything and it looks as if it should work but I still don't get any export option. Ghmmm.. :/

    Thanks for the pointer, Ismail Mayat.That saved me much manual importing of images.

    However, while the content is imported, the /media/x path changes, which can break any existing hard-coded img URLs.
