[Resolved] Import/export specific cpts and related custom fields

I was just thinking - it would be great to be able to export specific CPT and their custom fields individually.

For example, on pretty much every site I use CPT: 'testimonials' & 'slider' - rather than recreating these each time - how good would it be to export/import them?

'team', 'portfolio', 'services' are others which come to mind.

Good / bad idea?

Hi there.

Thanks for the feedback.

Toolet plugins pack their own export/import mechanism, so you can move stuctures around. In fact, we have Module Manager to let you move pieces of the structure of a site to another site. For example, if you have a post type Testimonials with a taxonomy Department, and a View to show a tstimonials slider using a Content Template, you can create a Module that wil hold the post type, its fields and taxonomies definitions, and the related Views.

What is missing there, compared to your request, is the dama management. We do not export post contents, etc. I must state that we do nto have plans to do so. The main reason is that there are already some plugins that cover this, and also that there are some problems that we do not want to have to solve twice if they already solved them (like attachments or objects relations).

Hope it helps.
