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.

I will take some time off from 12.10.2012 till 29.10.2012. Please don't expect support in that time. Please contact me after the 29.10.2012 B)

perfectly understood. thanx. I guess its a manual reload. no problem.

Importing items using Libre Office csv works fine for me, except images. Images are in a folder on the server. The message I get for all images are like this:

importing items, please stand by
items were imported, but with some problems:
row: 2 - save item -
could not copy the file 002611.jpg
Row: 2 / memory peak: 22 MB

When the link to the images is wrong I get the expected "not found" message, so the path should be ok.
What else could be wrong?

Thank you!

I now found that my images are actually imported correctly in spite of the error message. Now I cleared the gallery columns, and the error messages are gone. So the problem was the gallery images, not the main item images. Perhaps because I don't have the gallery extension installed.

There's still another problem:
After importing the 25 items of my test file, the importer keeps importing infinitely.
The item title will be like this:

Imported Item - 2012-10-22 09:45:57

Any idea?

(This is now K2Import v. 0.9stable)

Need to import images. I don't understand where to find the image information in the K2 so it can be put in the CSV. I already had to modify the CSV file to allow change to access level. I really need to get the images imported as well. I've been messing with this for 2 days and it's eating much of my time. Your directions for importing images is not very clear.

Sorry for the late answer I didn't get any emails even I subscribed to the forum :-(

For importing images you need to give the whole path of the image. e.g. you can put them in the tmp directory. see the example file on my page: www.individual-it.net/Instructions-for-K2-Import-Component.html

Bought the component a couple of days ago. Need help badly in importing over 15,000 Joomla articles. Left the message in this forum but no response. See here: getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/167370-K2-Import--Export-09---How-to-use-it

Thanks.

Hi,
sorry I cannot watch the complete forum but I try to answer the questions in this thread.

Here is the Instructions for the K2 import/export component.

Its imports and exports K2 items. So you eather could create a CSV based on my example or you just create some K2 items and hit the export button, then you get a nice example file.
P.S. In my experience LibreOffice handles the CSV files better than Excel.

Hope that helps, if not ask again.
