As mention the documentation is sketchy and for a non coder it really makes no sense

you post a comment
My guess that your second problem in a date issue. Please check the "Publish Up" and the "Publish Down" dates, specially the format in your CSV file. It has to be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss e.g. 2014-05-06 00:00:00
Please check the format with a text editor as Excel might show a different format to what it does save.

The format is correct in excel and libre. The creation date for the article is in the cvs file but was not recognized when importing so all the k2 files order by Publishup DTG is correct . . Pushdown is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Creatuion DTG looks good as well

The attachment path was no visible in the CVS file and the pdf files are in the correct location in the new site on local server. K2 import could not locate the files so I manual edit the cvs file with th ecorrect direct path for each pdf location and still K2 Import could not find the pdfs

how do I find the if the paths are intact?

I was hoping this would work as I'd pref not to redo each K2 item

Hi Scott,
thank you for buying the extension (its not a donation)

you are true the attachment path is not exported as they are all in "media/k2/attachments" anyway. So you can easily copy them wherever you need . But I will think about to show the full path there in future.

Feel free just to post a part of your import file.

P.S. the documentation is not a translation from German to English, but simply written by a German ;-)

Update K2 article text K2 text is importing but I had to add a word or letter to the content and save then remove that word and the article text appears in when viewing site

1. Attachements are not working even when I added the direct path to the CVS file

2. Creation dates are not imported and default to current date this is a problem

what can I do to fix the attachment issue

Toaday I made a donation to use K2 import and having a terrible time understanding how this works, the documentation is not easily understandable but that is most likely a German to English translation. That being said the plugin install correctly.

problem 1 is attachment paths are not included in the cvs file
Problem 2: Articles import but the content is only visible when editing not when viewing the site

there are 4 K2 Categories with each containing 10- 18 articles

1. started the K2 import plugin
2. selected 1 K2 Category which has 8 K2 articles
3. clicked the export button

I was saving from an onlie dev site and importing to a local server, figured it had something to do with paths...so I backup the dev site and installed the site on to local server export the the K2 files and imported to the other Local Server site, same issue path to attachments not working

Reviewed the CSV file in Excel and LibreOffice paths are not included for the attachment items

do I need to manual fix the CSV file so that each attachment has the correct path? or what am I doing wrong with exporting


Joomla 3.5 (both dev site and local host)
K2 2.7 with update to the K2.js (there is a known problem with the attachment feature in the original K2.js file
K2 Import 2.5 Alpha
PHP 5.6 (both dev site and local host)
Localhost Xammp

When saving an image K2 converts it to a .jpg image and renames is.
The original size image ends up in "media/k2/items/src" and the name is an md5 sum of "Image" and the itemID:
But that will be always a JPG file, no matter what kind of image you upload.
So I only can export that JPG file

Does this tool not export PNG item images?

New version of the extension is online!

2.4 is now stable (if you already have 2.4.beta.1 there is no need to update)

2.5.ALPHA.1 includs the possibility to use any PHP command to generate or change the imported values

Check you download link that you have got after purchasing, depending on the amount you have paid and the purchase date it might be still valid, so you can download the newest version for free!

Hi,
what encoding is the file.
For cyrylic characters its best to use UTF-8 encoding

Hello!
Did your tool supports cyrylic characters?
Please, can you test this file: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69750527/drb.csv

Thank you!

Hi,
you should have got an Email with a download link.
Please check your SPAM folder.

I'm not aware of any mails in the last days that I haven't answered yet.
Sorry if I missed your mail.

Please send it again.

Hello I apologize in advance, I made the purchase but never received any download link or you can enter login and download, nothing ... or at least i dont know where. You help me? I wrote to the author by the contact form, but I have not received a response. seriously I am sorry. Thank you

It should work with PHP 5.6 without problems. Its a question of you PHP settings.
Strict Standards messages should not be displayed on a productive system, they are for developers only.
Switch the error reporting in Joomla to simple.

Looks like its not compatible with PHP 5.6. I went back to 5.4 and there errors went away.

I recently upgraded to Joomla 3.5.1 and now I am getting these errors. Anyone else getting them?
It happens as soon as I open it from Components/K2 Import. Before trying to import anything.
