What Module Parameters Export Import can do for you

Copy a module's setup in one click
An Export/Import tab sits right in the module editor. Export a module's settings, then import them where you need them.

Every setting comes along
Settings are read straight from the database, so hidden fields, subforms and editor content are included.

A plain JSON file you keep
Each export downloads as a named JSON file. Keep it as a backup or put it under version control.

Import with a safety check
A confirmation window shows how many settings will be imported. Nothing is written until you confirm.

Reuse a setup on another module or site
Export from staging and import on live, or from one site to another. Set a module up once and reuse it.

Works with your modules
Use it with core, third-party and custom modules, on the site and in the administrator. No per-module setup.

Repeatable fields stay intact
Repeatable and subform rows, plus editor fields, come through the import as they were.

Safe by design
The tab only appears in the administrator, and every export and import is checked with Joomla's session token.
