Essential Grid Magento 1.x Extension Documentation

Import / Export

Export your Grid's settings, Item Skins and additional data and then Import the data to a second Magento installation.

  • Important Note:
    Exporting Grids will include all of the grid's settings, but will not include your actual blog posts. But here's a great article from our friends over at Elegant Themes that covers how to import posts from one website to another.
From the "Import / Export" page, select the data you wish to export.

Your exported data will be generated as a “.json” file, which can then be saved to your computer.

  • Quick Tip:
    Exclude unnecessary data by deselecting items and folders.
Next, from your second Magento installation, from the "Import" tab, select the ".json" file you previously exported, and choose "Read File".
And then choose "Import Selected Data" to officially import the file's data.

Choose “Append as New” to make sure the imported data doesn’t override any currently existing data.  Or choose “Override Existing” to override any currently existing grids/skins of the same name.
