Plugin Availability The Export Blog plugin is available in the blojsom add-on bundle. This is a separate download from the blojsom.war file.

Description

The Export Blog plugin exports your entire blog as an XML file using XStream and backs up the contents of your blog's resources directory as well.

Installation and Setup

After downloading the blojsom add-on bundle, copy the blojsom-addon-plugins-{version}.jar and xstream-1.0.2.jar file into your /WEB-INF/lib directory.

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

export=org.blojsom.plugin.export.ExportBlogPlugin

Usage and URL Parameters

In the web administration console, under Plugin Settings|Configure available plugins you will see an option for the Export Blog plugin. Clicking this link will export your blog as a .ZIP file using the name blojsom-export-yyyy-MM-dd.zip, where yyyy-MM-dd represents the current year, month, and day. This plugin also exports the resources under your blog's resources directory.

Be patient if you've got a large blog as the packaging may take a minute or two.
