Rivlo Content Exporter for Umbraco 8

Rivlo.ContentExporter.Umbraco8 is a lightweight API-only tool that enables structured export of content and members from Umbraco 8 sites. It is ideal for use in site upgrade or migration workflows and is extensible via custom property value handlers.

⚠️ This package is provided free of charge, with no licensing or API key enforcement. It supports export only (no import functionality) and has no backoffice UI. For full migration tooling across modern Umbraco versions (v10+), visit www.rivlotools.com.

• Export member data including groups and hashed passwords
• Extensible via custom IPropertyValueHandler implementations
• Supports media URL resolution from UDI references
• Lightweight, API-only — no UI dependencies

Install-Package Rivlo.ContentExporter.Umbraco8 -Version 8.0.0-beta1

Target framework: .NET Framework 4.7.2

🚀 Usage

📄 Export Content

Send a GET request to:

/umbraco/api/ContentExporter/ExportContent?documentTypeAlias=[alias]&propertyAliases=[alias1,alias2,...]

🔧 Query Parameters:

🧪 Examples:

Export all newsArticle content anywhere on the site:

/umbraco/api/ContentExporter/ExportContent?documentTypeAlias=newsArticle&propertyAliases=heading,image,bodyText

Export all event content under node 1234, recursively:

/umbraco/api/ContentExporter/ExportContent?documentTypeAlias=event&propertyAliases=title,date,location&parentId=1234

Export only first-level children under node 5678, excluding the parent:

/umbraco/api/ContentExporter/ExportContent?documentTypeAlias=product&propertyAliases=name,sku,price&parentId=5678&recursive=false&includeParent=false

This will return a structured JSON array of content items with matching type and properties.

👤 Export Members

Send a GET request to:

/umbraco/api/MemberExport/ExportAll

Returns an array of members including:

• Username
• Email
• Name
• Password hash (if available)
• Custom properties
• Member groups

🧩 Extending Property Handling

You can create custom handlers for complex or structured property types by implementing:

public interface IPropertyValueHandler
{
    string EditorAlias { get; }
    bool CanHandle(string propertyAlias, string editorAlias);
    object TransformValue(string propertyAlias, object sourceValue, IDataType dataType, JObject config = null);
    object ExportValue(string propertyAlias, object sourceValue, IDataType dataType);
}

Register your handler with Umbraco DI via a Composer:

[RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
public class MyHandlerComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        composition.Register<IPropertyValueHandler, MyCustomHandler>(Lifetime.Singleton);
    }
}

⚠️ Limitations
