How can settings from existing ChiliProject/Redmine configuration be imported into new installation?

Added by Frank Church at 2011-12-29 03:21 pm

I have created some Redmine installations and would love to import the settings from a pre-existing installation. Things like Issues, News, Documents, Wiki Pages, Messages, Projects should be left behind and stuff like Groups, Issue Status, Custom fields ,Settings,Enumerations be imported.

Is there a tool or script which can do that?

I also suppose that the database can be copied, but stuff like issues, documents etc left behind. Is there some script or SQL that can do just that, delete the issues, wiki pages etc, or some subset of them?

Another thing I would like to be able to import are the custom queries?

If there is an administrative page or plugin where I can delete Issues, Projects etc that would also be great.

Regarding copying the data, there's only the all or nothing SQL way, regarding removing certain data types, you could try the script/console way (that gives you a "ChiliProject console" from which you have access to all ChiliProject code and objects), but I can't guarantee how good or bad that could turn out. I would recommend against meddling directly with the DB if avoidable though.
