Hello,
I need to transfer a lot of documents from one MODx installation to another (both Evo 1.0.5). They are news documents with a certain parent id that should be copied from one site to the new one (relaunch development site). Both are on the same server/MySQL host and in one PhpMyAdmin.
What I thought of was doing something like that in PhpMyAdmin:
INSERT INTO `db2`.`modx_site_content`
SELECT *
FROM `db1`.`modx_site_content`
WHERE parent='123'
Didn’t give it a try yet, but two questions before I’m messing around:
- how to increase the auto increment column id of db2 to create new document id’s instead of transferring the old ids into db2
- will the WHERE clause work on selecting rows from db1?
I checked the MySQL reference but I’m not sure about the options and statements I may need.
Of course I’ll have to change template ids and so on, but this is the easier part.
Thanks a lot if anyone can help!
