CiviCRM Integrated Webform Export

[Guanhuan]

Hi guys. Is there any way to export and import a CiviCRM integrated webform? I tried “node export” and “webform share” and they seems cannot bring back the CiviCRM fields properly.

I am using
Drupal 7.26
CiviCRM 4.4.4
Webform 7.x-4.0-rc1
Webform CiviCRM Integration 7.x-4.5

Many thanks!

i thought i had some luck with node export - but i still had to go through and say eg 3 x contacts and 2 x email fields, but once i did that i found that many of the settings were still there and implemented fine

but guessing it hasn't been like that for you? or did you not try those extra steps

When I use webform_share to import the webform, I enabled CiviCRM on that webform and deleted the default contact fieldset that CiviCRM created before the import. Some of the fields seems working such as the "Contact 1" filedset, "Exist Contact" and the rest of the contacts and some memberships and relationships went missing.

You might also consider the Migrate Webform module. I am not sure if it will work, but just found it while researching this question.

look forward to the report on how it works. not tried it. but then never wanted to also shift submissions etc - but of course that doesn't stop it being useful

Looking further into this issue, it seems like part of the difficulty is that Webforms are implemented as nodes(source). This means they have a specific Node ID, which can cause conflicts between deployments.

There is a module, currently with support for Webform 3, that aims to mitigate the Node ID conflict issue while integrating with Features module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_features

I have filed a feature request for webform_features to support Webform 4.x, as it is a dependency for Webform CiviCRM.

I spent a bit of time working on this a few months back and was able to get webform-civicrm to play nicely with both node_clone and node_export. I haven't tried any others but I can vouch for those two working with the both the 3.x and 4.x versions of webform-civicrm.

Thanks Coleman. I just realise that node_export is quite compatible with it.
I tried using node_export to export and import the webforms to some other sites and they all work fine. CiviCRM on that webform is automatically enabled. All the Civi fields are brought back right even custom fields if there are custom fields that match the keys on the sites.

It is different situation on another site which has exactly same version of modules and CiviCRM. After import, none of Civi fields are there  and CiviCRM is not enabled on that webform.

Then I tried what petednz said and it acually works for this site. I manually enabled CiviCRM on the form and selected the same number of contacts, and then, most of the setups are back automatically even though the contact types and labels need to be set before these happen.

I don't know exactly why the scenario vary on the different sites but guess this is not too bad.

Thanks for helping me out, guys!
