Export and Import of single pages

Usually things evolve as follows:
One starts by installiing WB locally. Afterwards one is enthusiastic and decides to upload the pages onto some web space. There are tutorials available and most often it works.

There was a problem with html-encoded commas, php prefers to decode them in the simplexml object. This could result in problems with option fields, for instance.
Version 0.2.1 of both modules, which have the RC status, will work around this php "feature".
You can download them from the module homepage: http://wbdemo.heysoft.de/pages/en/export---import.php

I tried to import a FormX section, but I got the error

DEBUG: Importing content into section 230 on page 138
Module: - Version

Module - Version is required to be installed before you can import this section!

What now?

Because FormX has a known Security hole and is unsupported, you should import it into an mpform with the Migrate FormX tool.
If this does not work either, you could send me the exported file for checking what the problem is.

The convertor worked fine, thanks for these VERY handy modules!
