Exporting Taxonomies to code

Question

I'm looking for a way to export Taxonomy vocabs and their associated terms. So far I've found and tested:

Taxonomy Export -- Exports to code using features but doesn't import.

http://drupal.org/node/755986 -- My brief testing with this patch showed mixed results.

Does anyone have any other module suggestions or code solutions? I could write it all into a hook_install and then use hook_update to update but it doesn't seem like an elegant solution especially for 500+ terms.

Answer 1

Also might want to take a look at Taxonomy CSV import/export or Taxonomy import/export via XML

Answer 2

You might also want to look at http://drupal.org/project/uuid and http://drupal.org/project/uuid_features, which can be used together to export Nodes, Node Revisions, Users and Taxonomy to a Feature.

I haven't done Taxonomy with UUID personally, but it does work quite well with Nodes.

Answer 3

The Feeds module allows the creation of Taxonomy terms from various sources (CSV, XML, etc). That may help.

Answer 4

I have used http://drupal.org/project/exportables with a patch to support exporting the taxonomy and full terms with one tick in features. Have had good success with this

Answer 5

Even though the module is named Taxonomy Export, it is a light-weight module for managing exports and imports of vocabularies and terms.

Answer 6

Even though this module is called Node Import, it also says it handles importing/exporting Taxonomies.

Answer 7

Firstly you’ll need to install the UUID Features, Features and UUID modules.

Once all those modules are enabled, go to example.com/admin/config/content/uuid_features (or on your administration menu go to Administration –> Content Authoring –> UUID Features Integration, and under “Exportable Taxonomy term bundles” check the boxes for the relevant taxonomy terms.

Go to your features export page at example.com/admin/structure/features/ (or on your administration menu go to Administration –> Structure –> Features), create/recreate the feature and you’ll see “Taxonomy Terms” listed.
