Export content type in Drupal 7

Is there a way to export a content type from a site and import it to another? I haven't found any modules to do that yet.

How would you achieve that? It's a useful thing to be done otherwise it is very time consuming to create the same content type over and over again.

Bundle_copy & Features are good choices as have been suggested, but...

Give Importer a try if you want to create a new content type from external data.

  1. allows you to import a dump file:
    • XLS
    • CSV
    • others
  2. automatically creates a table which can then be used in Views
  3. can be sued to derive a content type from that point

I have used backup_migrate module to migrate from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and I would highly recommend this module.

Try bundle_copy

It's like the old D6 content copy. For me its quicker.

For options, please see the discussion over at http://drupal.org/node/1011620. There's also a simple copy/paste module available if Features is too cumbersome for your specific purposes: Bundle copy.

The Features module can export content types and allow you to import into another Drupal site.
