INTRODUCTION
------------
This module allows exporting an entire menu tree from one site and importing it into another site with
identical content node aliases.

This module works by comparing the URL alias of the content on the source site to the URL alias of the content
on the destination site in order to locate the correct nodes to link to.  Therefor it is essential that the URL
aliases on the content on both sites be identical.


INSTALLATION
------------
At admin/build/modules enable the Node Export module.

CONFIGURATION
-------------
1. Enable the permission "export menus" at admin/user/permissions.
 
2. Configure the node export module at admin/settings/node_export to have the following settings on each content type:
    "URL path" Not Checked
    
    

USAGE
-----
Exporting a Menu
================
1. Log in as a user with "export menus" permissions
2. Go to the Menu Link list screen (i.e. admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links)
3. Click on the Export tab
4. Copy the generated code 

Importing a Menu
================
1. Log in as a user with "export menus" permissions
2. Go to the Menu Link list screen (i.e. admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links)
3. Click on the Import tab
4. Paste in the exported code from above and click the Import Menu Items button


KNOWN ISSUES
------------
When you use Node Export to export content from a site that used manual URL aliases and
import that content on a site with Pathauto enabled, the URLs aliases of the content
change and thus the menu import does not work.
