CTC Import and Export

A standard content template created using the Content Template Creator (CTC) has no Apex class or Visualforce page code associated with it.  This means it cannot be moved between Salesforce Orgs using the standard code management practices.  For this reason the CTC provides import and export functionality.  

Exporting

To export a CTC created template, select the checkbox next to the template in OrchestraCMS Setup | Content Templates and click Export.  A new browser window/tab will open.  Copy the base64 string from the window and store it in a text file.  This string can be imported into another OrchestraCMS instance in another Salesforce Org.

If the content template has been extended with a custom Apex class, the custom class is not part of the export.  The custom class will need to be moved between Orgs using standard Salesforce code management practices.

Importing

To import a CTC template from another OrchestraCMS instance, click the Import button found in OrchestraCMS Setup | Content Templates.  Paste the base64 string from the Org where the template was created into the pop up dialog and click Submit.  The imported template will still need to be added to a content type before it can be selected by a content author in the new Org.
