Hi there,

The component is working fine except for two problems:

1. The alias is importing without considering the hifen. Ex.: "Agricultor-prefeitura-de-maranguape-esaf-fundamental-2008" turns in "agricultorprefeiturademaranguapeesaffundamental2008" .

2. The Attachment1 Title is not being recognized and it is taking the name of the file instead of the name put in the csv file.

I'm using LibreOffice, my csv file is encoded in UTF-8 and I'm putting quotation marks in all text cells.

Since all others csv data is being imported correctly I'm not understanding why the two issues above are happening.

Can anyone help me with it please?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I put the csv file attached.

Here's the file.

Hi,
I will have a look at it, but could you please report what PHP / Joomla / K2 / Import-tool version you are using.

PHP Version: 5.2.17
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 2.5.6 Stable [ Ember ] 19-June-2012 14:00 GMT
K2 Version: 2.5.7
K2 Importing Version: 0.9_beta4

I found the problem with the aliases and today I will investigate the Attachment problem

Just declared the version 0.9 as stable and published it: www.individual-it.net/en/Joomla/ .
The only change from 0.9_beta4 are that it now accepts "-" in the aliases and the auto association with the fields are improved a (very) little bit.

@Franklin This version should solve your problem with the aliases. And are you sure you associated the Attachment Title correctly with the right column in the CSV file. If in the "associate the fields" screen the attachment title dropdown is set to "take standard or leave empty" the software will try to generate a title.
The automatic association is just guess work. You have always to double-check it. But you can help it by naming the column "Attachment Title 1" instead of "Attachment1 Title". I changed my example file and the export according to it.
P.S. if your download link does not work anymore, write me a short email

Hi,

I was leaving the attachment title empty in the "associate the fields". It's working fine now.

Could you please send the new stable version to my email? I was not able to find the link to download it again.

Thank you.

Hello,

I already have 5,000 items living in K2. Now I need to import 5,000 images, one for each item.

Does this tool can import only item images and leave the rest of the items info just as they are already in the database?

That would solve my problem

Please advise.

The easiest way would be to export the items, then change the CSV with the images and the reimport the file with the option: Overwrite - based on ID.

BUT before you are doing this make a full database backup!!!

Just published the version 0.9a just some minor fixes included.

extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/k2-extensions/12408

Hello,

I have purchased the component and I have successfully tested it.

I want to build a directory using K2 in two languages (Greek (primary) and English).

I am using the following fields in K2:
Title, Category, Image, Item description, tag1, …, tag n, extra field 1, … , extra field n

I have made the translation of all the K2 field names in English using Joomfish.

When I use your component only the data for the primary language (greek) are inserted in K2. Is it feasible to use different CSVs (one for each language) so I will not insert manually the translation in Joomfish (now for each item I have to go to Joomfish, K2 items and edit the translated field contents manually. This is time consuming since I have more than 2000 items !).

Any ideas ?

I am using
Joomla v1.5.25
Joomfish v2.1.3
K2 v2.5.7
K2 import / export v0.9 stable


Thanks in advance.

Hi,
sorry the extension just import items into K2, not Joomfish - this is an other extension.

Hi man!
i've just bought the component (transaction id 7E279573T9850502) but i need help because i'm going to import a lot of articles that contain "," so i'm encountering problem with component delimiter.

Is it possible to change the delimiter with something else? (for example ||)

thanks a lot!

Text has to be included between " " then a , is also no problem

Should look like:

"Title","Alias","Introtext"
"Title Article1","alias-title-article1","Example with a lot of ,,, but this does not make Problems and even "" are fine if there are double "" Introtext"

You can also just make an export to have an example.

Hello,

Great little application. I have used it to import successfully but my question is how to I import actual options for a K2 Item?

what do you mean by "options" the "extra fields"?

Hello there,

Thanx for replying. What I mean is - say I want to import a field called eye colour, I also want to bring in its options such as brown, green, grey etc - how would I do this ?

Thx

first create the extra field in K2, associate it with a group and greate 2 or 3 items in this group with the different possible extra field values.
The make an export with the k2 import / export tool and you have an example file you can work with,

Hmmm,

Ok I understand. It would still be long for me since I have over 100 questions with some have 10 - 30 options - I wanted to avoid entering all this but thanx good sir, I get the idea.

I more question - I have a database on the system - How would I export its pictures,? I cannot see the picture column

Thanx in advance

As its says in the description the tool can import images but not export them. The reason is the way K2 stores them.
