Im doing most of the work on a dev domain, I'm wondering if there's any built in export options so I don't have to go back and configure table names and foreign key relationships again when I'm ready to go to live?
When you are moving to the live site from local or stage site we can suggest using the Duplicator plugin. We use it and it's working fine, because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to database.
So, all settings will be transferred as well.
Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtUseSeparateCon
wdtSeparateCon
wdtTimepickerRange
wdtTimeFormat
wdtTabletWidth
wdtTablesPerPage
wdtSumFunctionsLabel
wdtRenderFilter
wdtRenderCharts
wdtIncludeBootstrap
wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtParseShortcodes
wdtNumbersAlign
wdtBorderRemoval
wdtBorderRemovalHeader
wdtNumberFormat
wdtMobileWidth
wdtMinifiedJs
wdtMinFunctionsLabel
wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
wdtLeftOffset
wdtTopOffset
wdtInterfaceLanguage
wdtGeneratedTablesCount
wdtFontColorSettings
wdtDecimalPlaces
wdtCSVDelimiter
wdtDateFormat
wdtCustomJs
wdtCustomCss
wdtBaseSkin
wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
wdtInstallDate
wdtRatingDiv
wdtMDNewsDiv
wdtTempFutureDate
It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment it's the only way. Also, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.
Our developers are working on creating an "Export" function, so this will be much simpler in the future
