[GeoNode-users] geonode importlayers error when metadata XML is present

[Daniel Victoria]

Thanks Tom, I just opened an issue[1].

Now, getting back to my problem of getting the metadata from one GeoNode
server to another. What would be the best option? I tried downloading the
XML and putting it along with the shapefile since I'd rather not have to
fill 100+ metadata records by hand.

What about the migration scripts from afabiani. Will that move both the
data (vector data in postgis or imagens in GeoServer) along with the
metadata?

Cheers
Daniel
