[Resolved] Exported views file does not work

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The problem here is that the user wanted to export their views.

Solution:

Unfortunately it would appear that views doesn't allow you to export its components directly but you can still do an export using the module manager plugin.

The module manager plugin can be used by going to Toolset -> Modules.

From there you will be presented with all the components that were created in Toolset. This includes Views, Content Template, Post Types etc.

On the right hand corner you will see the option to create a new module. Create your new module then drag and drop the components that you want to be in this module then save and export it.

To import you will go to Toolset -> Import/Export and under modules you can use this to import the modules that you've just exported.

Finally the module manager can be downloaded from the link below.

I have exported the views configuration and when I try to import it, it gives me an error, if I try to unzip the file it tells me that it is corrupt, it only happens with views, the rest of the plugins work fine

Hi Aitor,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I see that you are using views version 3.5.3 which is currently outdated.

I would recommend that you update to the latest version of our Views plugin by downloading it from the link below.
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/#legacy-plugins

Secondly you can use this plugin below to export your views and content template.
