Re: [Plone-Users] About putting content in first-layer folders specified in .objects file with GenericSetup

[Alex M. <al...@se...>]

Dear Denis,

Great, I see what you're saying. However, my situation is a little 
bit different.

I created a Plone site based on the profile Plone Site and added 
content through the Plone web interface. Now, when I try to "Export 
all steps", the tarball that I get only has the first-level content. 
If I add content through the web instead of using a profile, is there 
a equivalent way like using the .preserve file to tell the ZMI to 
export the 2nd, 3rd, etc level content also? Thanks a lot!
