Hi,

I am trying to import new K2 items. To test the system, I exported one category of items, and reuploaded the information to another category (same extra field structure).

While all items uploaded, the EFs are completely blank.

I am using joomla 3.0, using the uploader tool from May 2014.

While Uploading did the tool recognize the extrafields in the CSV file and did it automatically (or you manually) assign the right fields with the columns in the file?

Did any error occur during import?
Please also edit the CSV file and check if the extra fields were correctly exported.

P.S. All fields and values have to exist in the target system.

When exporting, the extra fields came out.

When uploading, the system didn't seem to recognize the extra fields.

Trying to import my exported k2 items. When I'm try to import without images, everything works just fine, but when I'm trying to import with images i get the following error:

Messages

importing items, please stand by
error - Internal Server Error

When reporting this error check Javascript Console for more information

The image path is correct (have tested it multiple times) and i have tried both ways (move images manually to the correct path and zip the csv and the files) but none of those seems to work, have over 850 items with images to each one of those.

@Bryan Chao: Please post a part of the CSV file here and check if all extra fields and values are created in the target system as in the source system

@Suprehn Try to import less items per loop. Option: "Import rows per loop" default is 10, try first with 5 and then with 1

Well, the four first rows works when i turn it down to 1 per row. After the four first i get the same error.

EDIT
Fixed it, was row number 5 that was corrupted, removed it, and now it works,

So I tried first exporting a category (all EFs were seen), and reimported exactly identically into another parent category. The process seemed to work fine EXCEPT EFs were not detected. Secondly, the new category did not show up under the new parent.

Hi,
your first problem is that the CSV file is not formated correctly. You need a double quote->" around every field. Please check to documentation: www.individual-it.net/en/Instructions-for-K2-Import-Component.html

Is the attached file the direct export or did you edit it? If you edit the file its better to use LibreOffice than Excel because it handles CSV nicer

around every field as well as column title?

It is the direct export, i didn't edit at all. Am using libreoffice.

After I permanently deleted some dead categories, it seems to be working now.
