Prime Focus of Presentation:
Contentin module
● The Contentin module is at the core of the “No Code Content
Migration” approach for getting content into Drupal without
writing any code (leverages the Migrate module)
● The module is targeted for site builders (two-click import):
○ One click to dynamically register migrations from a CSV
file (Contentin module at work)
○ Second click to import registered migration (Migrate module
at work)
● Contentin sandbox:
https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/iribarne/2461615
○ git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/iribarne/2461615.git contentin

Let’s get started with setting up the traditional approach:

Set-up the basics from contib for Site1:
● cd sites/all/modules
● mkdir custom
● mkdir contrib
● cd contrib
● drush dl module_filter admin_menu migrate
bundle_copy taxonomy_csv devel;drush en -y
module_filter admin_menu migrate migrate_ui
bundle_copy taxonomy_csv;drush dis -y overlay
toolbar

Set-up the basics for custom:
● Create a data directory under the files folder
● Place CSV files article.csv and page.csv in the
sites/all/default/files/data directory
● Place custom modules migr8csv2article and
migr8csv2page in the sites/all/modules/custom
directory and enable the modules

File Structure:

Export Content
to CSV
w/ Contentout module

Site 1

Use Contentout module to create CSV:

Contentout
Demo

Get the Contentout module from the Drupal sandbox:
● cd sites/all/modules/custom
● git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.
org/sandbox/iribarne/2461613.git contentout
● Enable the Contentout module
● Go to Contentout on the admin menu: Configuration ->
Content authoring -> Content automation -> Content out

Content out admin page:

Content out one-click export:

Contentin
Demo

Set up the 2nd site for the No Code Content Migration approach:

Set-up the basics from contib for Site2:
● cd sites/all/modules
● mkdir custom
● mkdir contrib
● cd contrib
● drush dl module_filter admin_menu migrate
bundle_copy taxonomy_csv devel;drush en -y
module_filter admin_menu migrate migrate_ui
bundle_copy taxonomy_csv;drush dis -y overlay
toolbar

Copy Content Types and Taxonomies:
● Use the Bundle Copy module to copy your content types
over from Site1 to Site2
● Use the Taxonomy CSV module to copy your
taxonomies over from Site1 to Site2

Get the Contentin module from the Drupal sandbox:
● cd sites/all/modules/custom
● git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.
org/sandbox/iribarne/2461615.git contentin
● Enable the Contentin module
● Go to Contentout on the admin menu: Configuration ->
Content authoring -> Content automation -> Content in
