TYPO3 Core

Hey Francois,

More generally the import/export process works pretty badly with FAL, because all storages and
sys_files are stored in pid = 0, making it impossible to export just a few pages with their
images. You are obliged to export the whole root.

you could include relations stored outside your export tree (also to sys_file records) by selecting the tables in "Include relations to tables:"

Sounds fine closing it. I haven't tried such a scenario recently, I know a lot happened in 6.2 in this regard.

I tested this on a 6.2.15 setup.

We had 3 existing domains, we had to do a 4th domain, add content and do a t3d export of the branch.

Well, without any error message about the missing FAL images, Typo3 did do the import/export!

At the other end, the references to sys_file was all wrong.

On analyzing deeper, I see that during the process, the uid_local in "sys_file_reference" did not get updated, instead it tried to use the same value as in the source. Instead this should have used the latest "uid" of the sys_file on the destination.

Exporting (FAL) files works. i fiddled with ext:introduction recently and had to do this various times now in v8 and v9:

It depends on correct export configuration:
Usually, you do not want to select the sys_file* tables in "Include tables:", but instead select them in "Include relations to tables:", and DO NOT select them in "Use static relations for tables:". With this configuration, files related to for instance tt_content elements are exported, but only those, and not other files which are not connected to your main "Include tables".

Note: ext:introduction now comes with a well configured export preset in https://github.com/FriendsOfTYPO3/introduction/blob/master/Resources/Private/ImportExportPreset.sql - just import that row into DB and play around with the preset a bit.

That's good to know. Thanks for the update.
