@Johnno The component is not Joomla 3.0 redy yet and I cannot tell you when it will

I too would be willing to donate towards this plugin becoming Joomla 3.0 compatible.

It would be also be great if it could support the popular "Additional Categories for K2" plugin.

Would this be feasible?

Hi!

This is a great tool!

I have bought it some days ago and it's working perfectly.

Just one question, it is posible to import videos from local storage? How can I do that?

I mean you can use the file you exported as an example.
What you mean by "the fonts do not come out well"?
The export is a text file, so if you have formated the fonts by HTML they will not look the same in the text file. And after import all the HTML code is imported but the formating also depends on the CSS and other formats on your page

As mentioned elsewhere when opening the exported csv in Excel it does not handle well non-english based languages. i found out a solution by opening first an empty excel file and then importing the csv instead of opening it directly.

i wanted to concatenate the item details as each one had different entries / info. for example in one item you might have values for the following fields:

Title Alias Introtext Fulltext Tags Published Created User ID Category Name Category Description

and for another

Title Alias Introtext Fulltext Tags Published Created User ID Category Name Category Description Length Width Height Cockpit Weight Load

with the last entries applying to extra fields.

q1: the end of each item is denoted by 2 commas ?
q2: in the guidelines you say that : text-fields must be enclosed within double-quote characters => ", what do you mean? in the export file i see every field enclosed like this "field"
q3: when i export the image path is not captured. why? how can i fix this so that to avoid manual update of images for each item?
q4: can i upload price as an extra field and then associate it to kmart price field?

thank you for your support!

I need to import k2 items into joomla 3 - and it seems this component is not ready for that - is there another way to import - ie - via php admin ?

Try to use LibreOffice its copes much better with CSV files

no it should be one comma. But in case of an empty field you get 2. e.g. if there is no alias it looks like:

Thats exactly what I mean, sorry for my bad english. if you have an idea how to explain it better, please tell me.

Image export is not supported because of the ay K2 stores the images

Mike wrote: q4: can i upload price as an extra field and then associate it to kmart price field?

You can upload it as an extra field, but I never tried touse it as a kmart filed.
thank you for your support!
