Details
A plugin for Movable Type installations which provides a very basic export-to-CSV functionality for entries/pages to facilitate easier review of entry/page metadata.
- Enables full-fidelity export of entry/page data in CSV format for those entries/pages selected from the listing screen.
- Export selected Entries/Pages or all Entries/Pages in a given blog, or system-wide.
Installation
Unzip the download archive. Move the resulting folder to $MT_HOME/plugins/
(where $MT_HOME is your MT or Melody application directory).
If you use Git, you can do the following:
cd $MT_HOME/plugins
git clone git@github.com:endevver/mt-plugin-entry-csvexport.git
Configuration
There is no configuration for this plugin.
Use
At the blog, website, or system level visit Manage > Entries or Manage > Pages.
Export selected Entries/Pages by placing checkmarks next to the items to export, then from the "More actions..." drop down select "Export as CSV" then click "Go."
To export all Entries/Pages, click the checkbox in the listing header, which will select all visible objects. A new row in the listing table will appear: click "Select all xxx items," then choose "Export as CSV" from the "More actions..." drop down and click "Go." Users of Movable Type 4.3x: choose "Export this blog's entries (CSV)" from the Actions topic in the sidebar.
Depending upon the amount of data to export it could take a few minutes until you are able to begin downloading the CSV file.
