Hey all, I guess I'm posting this in the right place. Is there a script that is customisable to extract the customised fields/profiles from a site ad then inject them into another. Here is the situation, we have multiple sites but they all follow the same structure. I want to be able to extract the customised fields/profiles then inject them into a newly freshly installed site. Is this the best way to go about it?

There are a few options:

1. If you're writing an extension, then you can use "civix" to extract an XML file; when installing the extension, it will load the XML file.

2. In the "civicrm/bin/migrate" folder, there's "export.php" and "import.php". I think you need to call them through a web browser and provide a few arguments ('user', 'pass', and 'key' [the CIVICRM_SITE_KEY]).

3. If you're writing code, you can call CRM_Utils_Migrate_Export and CRM_Utils_Migrate_Import.

A couple minor differences: #1 requires that you specify which "custom groups" or "profiles" to export. #2 exports a whole lot of customizations. #3 can do either.
