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:

importing items, please stand by
error - Internal Server Error

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.

Hi,
Purchased yesterday and just installed and I received these errors
see attached

@Bryan Chao. Yes every field including the title. did you delete the categories in the CSV file on in K2

@Roy Kern Thats not a error its just says I could program stricter. Your Error reporting is very verbose, good for development, bad for usage. Go to System-> Global Configuration->Server and set "Error Reporting" to "Simple"

Didn't delete. Everyhting is the same. It imports correctly into the new category without changing anything in the file, but once I change something in the item, I cannot import the "new item" back into the original category.

Hi,

Ok I managed to import the spreadsheet of data but I cannot get the gallery to upload.

I get this error: row: 1 - save item -
could not copy the file tmp/k2_import/1.jpg

Attached is the zipped file which only includes one item and the adjoining gallery. ideas?

Hmm the CSV seems to be fine and also the image.
What version of the extension do you use? And is your server running Windows or Linux?

Please check one think for me:
When you preparing the import and you are on the screen "K2 Import Tool - associate the fields" do not click "continue" but login into your server via FTP and check what it the content of tmp/k2_import/
Also please check if the path to the tmp folder in the joomla global configuration is correct

>>What version of the extension do you use? com_k2import_2.0_stable.zip dated 5/20/14

It includes the image file and the csv

yes.

Please make an backup of your database and files and send me a admin user, so I can check

Hi,
I have tryed the extension and everything works well.
I only cannot find how to import the field "hits"

Has it been forgotten?

Regards
Renzo

Hi Renzo,
Hits is not imported nor exported. Do you need it urgent? Should not be to hard to implement.

Did you get my message?

yes, and I've tried several things and send you a reply yesterday.
