FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Installation
No installation required.
Usage
Make a tabbed-out file as directed in the form that appears below. Make sure that you use tabs, not spaces.
Visit http://localhost/your-site-name/SiteTreeImporter?flush=1.
Select your tabbed-out file in the file field, and tick the option boxes as appropriate:
Clear out all existing content? - This will delete everything from your site before running the importer. Use with caution! If you don't tick this, then the pages will be added to the existing site.
Publish everything after the import? - This will publish each of the pages that the importer creates. If you don't tick this, then the pages will be left as draft-only.
Format
The site tree import module lets you take a tabbed out file of the following format, and load it into your CMS as a site tree.
You can optionally include JSON encoded metadata as the last part of a line,
which will automatically save to properties on the Page object.
This can be useful to determine URL paths or set custom titles.
Howto
Redirect URLs
Often an existing tree will need to be imported with URLs which map to different URLs on the new site.
While you could assign those manually to a .htaccess based redirect, we found it useful to
store the old URL straight in the Page object, and use SilverStripe's routing to handle the redirect.
In this example, we'll use the "redirected urls" module,
which routes based on a new data type called RedirectedURL. In order to create it,
we add a custom setter to the Page class, which gets called automatically if
a key named LegacyURL is found in the imported JSON data.
Now you can import a tree based on the following data:
