[14:10:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hey awills ... import/export feature quest/request for you
[14:13:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you're around (smile)
[14:33:09 EST(-0500)] <awills> i am now... what's up? (smile)
[14:33:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I just did a 2.6 update and did initportal (works great btw)
[14:33:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> would it be a possible feature to give the files human readable names and put the ids in the file itself?
[14:34:21 EST(-0500)] <awills> actually you can do #1 w/o #2... the ids are not needed
[14:34:37 EST(-0500)] <awills> those file names are just what the tool creates
[14:35:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah ok
[14:35:21 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just cause what exists now in 2.6 is rather painful for a person to go edit the files
[14:35:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> like if I need to change the channel definition for a channel ....
[14:35:39 EST(-0500)] <awills> honestly i figured someone would ping me on this subject pretty quickly... precisely for that reason
[14:36:13 EST(-0500)] <awills> but i also figured that anyone who pinged me might also have an opinion on what to name them (smile)
[14:36:23 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[14:36:38 EST(-0500)] <awills> you can do anything you like to the names, so long as you leave the extensions alone (wink)
[14:36:44 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well, for channels I'd say use the fname
[14:36:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> groups & permissions are a bit trickier
[14:37:28 EST(-0500)] <awills> i agree (channels)... i would have exported them like that except some have fnames like 'uportal/channels/footer' or somesuch

[14:38:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[14:38:31 EST(-0500)] <awills> you can also put things into .batch files if you like...
[14:39:00 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> also, are the formats of the files documented somewhere?
[14:39:01 EST(-0500)] <awills> like all permissions for 'Everyone' into a single file called Everyone-permissions.batch
[14:39:17 EST(-0500)] <awills> they are, though they're out of date
[14:39:51 EST(-0500)] <awills> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/uP2+XML+Import+Export+with+Cernunnos – 1/2 way down the page
[14:40:05 EST(-0500)] <awills> I'll try to add updated formats to the manual
[14:40:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> cool
[14:40:15 EST(-0500)] <awills> in 2008 (smile) (early)
[14:42:30 EST(-0500)] <awills> heading to lunch... bbl
[14:42:43 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> later
