I like my sandbox, so now what?

Interested too.
How about syncing or cloning or exporting?

@TheHackRepairGuy .. good point.
@ovidiu .. also great point.

It would be awesome if there was a way to suck the Sandbox site back into the original site, or export it as a new site, etc. Great ideas!! I would love to see the developer’s thoughts.

Me too @gary – can we ever publish the “sandbox” mode site into the live site? That’s what I need! ?? Great plugin.

Same questions as above. How do you install the sandbox once complete? or is this plugin just meant for testing before a live install/modification is made? Has anyone else any ideas or progress?

Currently the plugin only creates the sandbox for testing changes. I’ve used it mostly for testing plugin upgrades on e-commerce sites.

Exporting it would be pretty straight forward and I will provide an update with that feature shortly. I’m also looking at what would be involved in adding a comparison capability and then based on the comparison some sort of migration from a sandbox to the live site. Moving changes back into the live site without breaking things could get a little tricky.

Over all a feature for safely migrating from a sandbox to live would be pretty involved and I just wanted to see how much interest there was in the plugin before I adding it.

I’d like to vote for this feature!!!
(If other’s knew you were considering to add it, I’m sure you’d get a lot of interest.)

@barteled: awesome! I thought you had abandoned this awesome sounding project. there is definitely demand for something like this.

I’m definitely interested in getting the sandbox onto the live site.
