Export Content Instructions.

STEP 1:
PLEASE BACKUP any databases that you will be moving data between.

STEP 2:
Install "Export Content" on any sites you wish to move content between.

STEP 3:
Under the "Export Content" menu Choose either Export Site Content which will allow you to select content by section(s) or Export Static Items to compile static Content only.

STEP 4:
Using the select boxes choose the content you wish to export then press the Compile button either for Joomla 1.0+ or 1.5+ series depending on the destination site.

STEP 5:
Download the compiled content from the source site via the Download button that will appear at the top and install it at the destination site via the site component installer as you would any other component.

STEP 6:
If you have taken the steps above you should see the options under the Imported Content Menu will be populated with the imported content on the destination site.

STEP 7:
Select how you would like to transfer the imported content into the destination site via the Imported Content Menu menu. Click the check box or boxes and then the Insert button at the top.

STEP 8:
You will then be given the option of which section or category on the destination site to move the content into and save.

NOTE:
When transferring "Static Content items" they will be transferred immediately upon clicking the "Insert" button as no section or category selection is required.

STEP 9:
Check the site admin menu under Content/Content by section and you should be able to see any new sections you have inserted or you may have to look under categories or content items depending on what action you took.

NOTE:
It is only possible to store imported content from one site at a time. So any imported data will need to be removed each time before adding the next import. This is required to synchronize the new section, category and content items ID numbers. And will not affect the data that has already been transferred.

Please remember to BACKUP!
