is there anyway to dump existing posts in bo? I want to dump them in the same format that is required to do bulk imports via "Mass Import Posts", because I am finding that I have thousands of posts that I only ever used once, which is just a goldmine of posts waiting to be re-used 
Oh I am not afraid of doing direct mysql database dumps if thats the only way to do it, just let me know exactly what I need to do.
thanks! |

well, no there isn't built in functionality in BO for that. You can always make a dump from the db directly. Everything about the posts is in the "boposts" mysql table. If you know mysql and php a bit you can make a script to query the db like "SELECT title,post from boposts WHERE ...." and that will extract the posts and with php to process the data and make it ready for import, so you just copy and paste..
just make sure you only do SELECT queries if you don't wanna mess up something
