Hey,
I'm thinking about writing a cron job to perform the post export at a regular interval to back up my posts. Before I do this I thought I'd ask if anyone else has done it so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Anyone?
TIA!
Full Version: Automated export
it's not the same, but i have an index template called export (witch refers to an export.cgi file) with the following code:
so every time a make an entry or rebuilding the export file upgrade itself, so the backup!

Hrm, I was really thinking more about a cron job, perhaps sendmail-me the export file. It'll be easy to write, I just thought maybe someone else might have done it. Thanks!
Just curious whether anyone has created an updated version of this export template with the added features of later versions of MT (trackback data, etc.)? I'm using the version posted here but want to make sure there's not anything missing from the export.
I too was wondering if there is an updated export template.

If you open up lib/MT/App/CMS.pm in a text editor, starting at line 2952 you'll see the current export format (that's in version 2.63, of course).
Does that export code end with:
...?
Thanks for the response girlie.

Thanks for the response girlie.
You can check out an example of a template (from 2.62) in this thread. The correct number of - 's are important.

It ends with the dashes - leave out "TEXT".
Thanks again girlie!
I'm not sure where we've gone with this topic since mid-2003, but I have a relevant post on my blog now. Here.
It may be of use to some (and if so, I'd be pleased to hear it).
