Links and Attachments

[rjkohler]

I just exported a game that includes links and attachments. I then went into the json file to see how it was laid out and noticed that there is not a field for links and attachments. If I import the game into another system I no longer have these links and attachments on the questions. Is there a way to export levels that include these fields for import later?

You could export and then import the entire database manually like this:

1. Backup database by typing: mysqldump -u ctf -p fbctf > backup.sql
2. Restore database by typing: cat backup.sql | mysql -u ctf -p fbctf
3. Flush Memcached by typing: echo 'flush_all' | nc localhost 11211

However, the attachments are not stored in the database, but in a folder. You would need to preserve these files or backup and restore them. Once you restore your database backup it will still point to these files:

/var/www/fbctf/src/data/attachments/

#451 now provides a full database backup and restore, as well as improvements to the import/export that includes both Links and Attachments.
