Copying Profiles Between Installations
March 20, 2011, 03:22:24 am
I would like to copy several profiles and custom data groups between CiviCRM installations. I want to create a sandbox system where I can experiment and then a production system for real users. To make this easier, I would like to be able to export the profiles and data groups I created in one and import them to the other. Is there a way to do this?

Check:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,8877.msg38227.html#msg38227

These scripts are still very primitive and would love if we could take them to the next level by:

1. Documenting how to use them and what functionality it covers

2. Extending it so that it allows people to import/export various subsets rather than the all or nothing it is today

if you can help with the above that would be great. contact us on IRC we you need help getting started

Just FYI,
I have used these scripts, and they need a minor edit to work. 

In both import.php and export.php,

change
Code: [Select]
require_once '../../civicrm.config.php';
to
Code: [Select]
require_once '../../civicrm.settings.php';
