Tool that exports Plone contents for a major migration.

This should be used with redturtle.importer.base/volto packages.

• Easily to include in your old site (just add to the buildout)
• No dependencies to other tools
• Easily to extend (see below)

This base product exports standard content-types (also Archetype-based).

If your site has some additional content-types to be exported and need to structure output in a more specific way, you can create a more specific package (for example redturtle.importer.project_name) where you can add specific exporters like this:

<browser:page
  for="my.project.interfaces.IMyCustomType"
  name="get_item"
  class=".jsonify.MyCustomTypeGetItem"
  permission="zope2.ViewManagementScreens"
  />

where GetItem class is:

from redturtle.exporter.base.browser.jsonify import GetItem as BaseGetter
class MyCustomTypeGetItem(GetItem):

    def __call__(self):

        context_dict = super(MyCustomTypeGetItem, self).__call__()
        ... do something with context_dict ...

        return get_json_object(self, context_dict)

You can add some additional data to exported json registering an adapter for ICustomDataExporter:

<subscriber factory=".my_data.ExtraDataExporter"
            provides="redturtle.exporter.base.interfaces.ICustomDataExporter"/>

and in python code you need to return a dictionary with needed informations:

@adapter(Interface, Interface)
@implementer(ICustomDataExporter)
class ExtraDataExporter(object):
    order = 4  # set an execution order

    def __init__(self, context, request):
        self.context = context
        self.request = request

    def __call__(self):
        """
        """
        return {'foo': 'bar'}

There are two additional views that can be called (only Site Managers has access to these views) to export the list of users and groups:

• /export_users
• /export_groups

These views returns a json with all the informations.

Install redturtle.exporter.base by adding it to your buildout:

[buildout]

...

eggs =
    redturtle.exporter.base

and then running bin/buildout
