Is there a known problem with the export module function within the events module? Does the import work and if so what is the file format?

OR

Is there an easy way to import events into the module in a bulk load?

While I don't consider myself a DNN expert, but contribute what I do know, the files are exported as XML files which can then be found in the \Portals\ folder.  I too am having issues with import/export, I can export the data, but can't seem to make import work.  Any ideas?

I figured out an effective way to import data, notice I didn’t say efficient

  • Export all of the data from your source site.
  • Create blank versions of the modules that you wish to fill with data.
  • Export the blank modules
  • If the destination modules are the same name as the source, then simply copy the XML files within /Portals/  of your source into the /Portals/ of your destination (replacing the files as you go)
  • If the two modules are named differently, either rename the source to match the destination or open each in notepad and copy the data from one to the other and save.
  • Either way, go back to the destination and select import.  Import the corresponding file and it should populate for you.
  • Essentially you’re tricking DNN into thinking it’s importing the file it just exported, but you’ve slipped the data in on it.
