Long story, but the short version is that we will have a bunch of EasyBlog content on a development Joomla website, and we will want to move it to a production website.

It doesn't look like EasyBlog has built in export/import capability (does it?) ... so, what's the best way to do this?

I've installed the Article Duplication Plugin ... but that only creates the article when making (or editing?) a blog entry, right?

Should I just export and import all the EasyBlog database tables? Will this be a problem if the users don't match up?

Or should I make an RSS feed available from the development site, and try to import into the production site from the RSS feed?

What's the "best practice" for this?
Hello Michelle,

Yep, you are right and it's best to export it on the database layer and it should be perfectly fine This is the rule of thumb that we normally provide our users if they want to migrate from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 but it still applies on your scenario

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of jos_easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses jos_ , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of jos_ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site
