Hi there,

tha would be nice if this module would work. I setup two sites, but the sync_manager stays empty. Performing a manual sync, gives message "Sync ran succefully" but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Did you configure module? On both sites?
Did you choose content types and fields to sync?
Did you make changes on one of site before run manual sync?

I think that this module is only aware of content which is created/updated after it was enabled. For instance, I have site A loaded with content, and site B with no content. I enabled this module on both, configure everything in the settings, content types, run the initial setup module, etc. At this point, if I run the manual sync, nothing happens (site B still has no content). However, if I now create/delete/update content on A, I see it in the queue on A and am able to sync successfully to B.

Is that a limitation of this module (only sync new/updated content after module is enabled), or am I missing something?

You are missing something.
Could you send me screens of your module settings (for both sites) to private or on email.

I checked your site settings. They are right.

If I right understand site B don't have content at all.
If this is true, than site A can't sync entities during initial sync because these is nodes with which site A can compare titles.

So, there is way to sunc (copy) content from Site A to Site B:
After install and configure module, on site A set "unpublish" and then set "publish" for all nodes which you want to move to site B.
When you do it, will run hook_node_update(). and sync module add these nodes to queue for sync.

Initial sync need only for sites which have the same content (titles), but can have different content in other fields like body.

Okay, that's a reasonable workaround. Thanks very much for the support.

I am not able to get this to work at all. I have tried everything I have read here. Any ideas?

It's not queueing anything. Not even content that I am adding after I set everything up. All settings match too.

Nevermind. Note to all:

Use the proper protocol (http://) when establishing your remote sites.

Sorry to blow this up. I still don't understand how to make this work. I can't get my queue to show anything.

Could somebody PLEASE do a step by step install/configuration walkthrough on this module?
I am having a very hard time understanding it.

I have one site that has a lot of content (several thousand nodes). I need to sync this content and all future content with a new site. How do both sites need to be configured to make this work?

Thanks!

Issue summary: View changes

The idea of the module is great one thing which is not right is the way a person is settiong up the whole thing. I've tried to do it but without any success. Could someone tell me what am I missing. I'm truing to sync content between 2 sites on different hosting companies. I've added the current URL on both sites, which nodes to be sync and on the main website i've added the sites which it have to send the information to. On the forms for the second site i've added the site and i hope the user id 1 name and password. After that configuration there is nothing, the module is telling me that the sync is done with success but nothing happend, so where am i doing it wrong? If I can manage to do a sync I will sertainlly do a video on how it is done. This module is great and people should be able to use it.

I have faced similar issues like #12 but was successful in making settings and able to use the module.

In my case xmlrpc is having problem with connection.To test the xmlrpc i used the "Examples for Developers" module and tested the xmlrpc.After resolving the xmlrpc issue i was able to sync the content successfully.

I have the same issues as gopagoninarsing

I could fill in the settings, but when I try to sync I receive a message in my mailbox regarding the xmlrpc.
How did you fix this problem?

Thx for your answer!
