How to completely dump the data for Django-CMS

Question

I have an instance of Django-CMS already running in a production environment. I would like to dump all the data related to the CMS (PAGES and PLUGINS) so that I may load it bac

Answer 1

Django's built in dump and restore commands work well for migrating the contents of the CMS.

To dump the contents of the CMS, you need to include both the cms app as well as each of the plugin types you are using in the dumpdata command, so something like:

manage.py dumpdata cms text picture link file [other plugin types] > cms_export.json

to dump your content (you just need the app name, not the full path, like cms.plugins.text).
