The module configuration menu (small down arrow next to the title of the module).  This brings up a menu that has the option to "Import Content" as well as "Export Content".

This is a core module action.  I have removed it in the latest version because we didn't write the code to import/export xml content (which is what this action does).

Even if it were supported, you would have to have your data in a structured xml format defined by this module.  I have to spend time getting my head around IPortable to fully understand it prior to doing this as well.  This will be supported in a future version, just not now.

majorxp, I think the name was, I completely sympathize with you having to carry your data with you.  I hope you understand that most situations are going to require custom handling of this anyways.  I am sure there is a migration path, but it is going to take effort on your part.   I hope whatever path you choose works out best for you.

I'm not against 'effort', but spending a few days writing a program to migrate over 25,000 posts by 100+ members sounds a lot easier than done (hence mostly likely why you don't have it and isn't on your roadmap).

I'll keep watching the progress of dnn and hopefully when it has a migration path, I'll install it again.
