Greetings. Is anyone aware of a script or tool to assist with cloning a portal? I have a portal that I want to essentially copy in place on the same DNN instance, e.g, copy portal 1 to portal 2, then start makeing changes to portal 2 rather than starting to build portal 2 from scratch.

Thanks,

Ralph

the only option provided is to login as superuser ("host") and enter Portals in Host menu.

select your portal and "create template". Specify this template when creating your 2nd site, however some settings and modules might be missíng in the clone, due to lack of  iPortable support.

Thanks Sebastian. I'll give that a shot. Having some of the module come over is perhaps better than starting from scratch. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Sebastian,

I have a client that also wants to do this, on a multilanguage 5.6.1 installation. Do you know if the Portal Template method works with localized content as well?

Regards,

Looks like it doesn't. I successfully created a portal template from a ML site, but importing it, the error message below was displayed. Anyone have any ideas for a solution or workaround?

 Error parsing Portal TemplateTab Exists at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.AddTabInternal(TabInfo objTab, Boolean includeAllTabsModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.AddTab(TabInfo objTab, Boolean includeAllTabsModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.DeserializeTab(XmlNode nodeTab, TabInfo objTab, Hashtable hTabs, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable hModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTab(XmlNode nodeTab, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable& hModules, Hashtable& hTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTabs(XmlNode nodeTabs, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTemplate(Int32 PortalId, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, Int32 AdministratorId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String PortalName, UserInfo objAdminUser, String Description, String KeyWords, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, String HomeDirectory, String PortalAlias, String ServerPath, String ChildPath, Boolean IsChildPortal)
