Exporting content in Acquia Content Hub¶

Processing the queue¶

Drush is the easiest and most reliable method to perform queued tasks. To process your publishing queue, use the following Drush command, replacing [$URL] with the domain name for your website.

drush queue:run acquia_contenthub_publish_export --uri=[$URL]

The command processes the export queue, calculates all necessary dependencies for your data, and sends the data to the Acquia Content Hub service. The --uri= parameter provides the canonical URL of your website, and is required to syndicate various types of data to your subscribing websites. Without a canonical URL, subscribing websites can’t find the canonical representation of items like files for import.

Exporting content with embedded entities¶

Users can export content with embedded entities by using the Entity Embed and URL Embed modules. The embedded entities can be, but aren’t limited to:

• PDF files
• External links
• Images
• Multimedia files

When exporting an entity, Acquia Content Hub checks the entity and all its dependencies. It compiles a list of required dependencies for the entity prior to exporting the entity to the Acquia Content Hub service. All dependencies must be accessible to the service to create the full dependency list.

Publishers must ensure all embedded entities are available to Acquia Content Hub. The reasons an embedded entity may be inaccessible include:

• Non-existing links
• Rejected links, due to some rate limiting policies on the linked website
• Private assets such as pdf files, images, audio, video

Exporting content with the API¶

Acquia Content Hub includes a Drupal Batch API page in the Drupal administrative interface to export content. Content must be queued as described. You can use Drush or visit the administrative interface to process the queue manually.

This user interface can be found in the Acquia Content Hub settings in Drupal, and is only recommended for testing purposes. Content with multiple levels of dependencies on other content shouldn’t be indexed from the user interface. Use the Drush command to perform indexing.

1. Sign in to your publishing website as an administrator.
2. Go to Configuration > Web Services > Acquia Content Hub > Export.
3. Click Export Items.

A progress bar displays. When it is complete, the queue has exported.

Excluding data from the queue¶

By default, the publishing website exports all data. You must exclude certain types of data from export due to security concerns or other reasons. Excluding data from the queue isn’t supported in the Acquia Content Hub user interface; exclude data using the Acquia Content Hub API. See Excluding data from the export process.
