Managing Taxonomy Exports with Drupal

June 18, 2009 - James Andres

Hi Drupalites, A recurring pain point in my Drupal development has been managing the vocabularies and terms in Drupal. I tried using the Taxonomy XML module, but found it much too complicated for everyday tasks. Without further hesitation I am proud to unveil Taxonomy Export!

Taxonomy Export is a light-weight module for managing exports and imports of vocabularies and terms. Currently the following features are supported:

  • Exporting vocabulary definitions
  • Exporting vocabulary definitions with all terms
  • Creating exports as a text string (ie: like views and CCK's content_copy)
  • Creating exports as a file
  • Importing vocabulary / term definitions in install profiles, using install_profile_api, coming soon!

Taxonomy Export conflicts with Taxonomy XML, do not install both modules at the same time.
