Exportable objects with drush ctools

This has been tested under drush8 but if you need to select specific objects you will need to use:

• drush 7
• PHP 5.6

And still, the part to select objects didn't work well in my case.

List of drush commands

$ drush8 | grep ctools

Get overview of exportables

You will see the following objects to be managed:

• views (views_view)
• display suite
• panels

To disable all views:

drush8 ctools-export-disable views_view

To enable all views:

$ drush8 ctools-export-enable views_view

To enable or disable one view:

$ drush8 ctools-export-enable views_view ultimo_articulo
$ drush8 ctools-export-disable views_view ultimo_articulo

Configuración de Vistas

Desde http://drupal-7.loc/admin/structure/views podemos ver que una vista a nivel de configuraciones puede tener varios estados:

• Database overriding code
• In database
• In code

Si queremos dejar una vista tal cómo estaba (In code) podemos hacer lo siguiente

$ drush8 ctools-export-revert views_view frontpage

See the code from a view

 $ drush8 ctools-export-view views_view ultimo_articulo

Export the code from a view to code

 $ drush8 help ctools-export
drush8 ctools-export export_module

By default it will export all your exportable objects to a module called "export_module"

Enabling your exportable objects

As you can see, our view called ultimo_articulo is in the following state: In database

If we enable our exported module with drush8 en export_module we will see that our view will now be in the following state: Database overriding code.

drush en export_module
