[SOLVED] Exporting Events and Custom Fields was created by abarrow
It appears that I'm faced with the task of re-building a site from scratch (it was hacked). I'm looking at the custom fields list on the old site, and there are 59, and there are 8 events, using various custom fields.
Has anyone tried exporting the custom fields and events from the database? Just looking at the custom fields, if I have to rebuild them one by one, it's going to take hours.
What if I just exported all the "eb_" fields from the old database?

Answering my own question. I exported all the _eb_ fields in my old database, and I was able to import them to the new EB instance. Just be careful, and DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

I figured it should work. As long at the DB prefix (if present) is correct and the extension versions match, any extension should be able copy-able / clone-able via copying database records.
You can destroy a website with one wrong command or click when working directly at the DB level!
