Try on a test environment, but i am pretty sure that k2 import buttion "will" create a copy of the items in k2 if you click it twice.
I think that the import joomla was a means to get k2 up and running quickley and not to routinely import items...unless you import once, delete all joomla content, add joomla articles, import into k2, delete them now so as not to duplicate on next import.

I understand that in the Joomla + K2 environment that the way to avoid duplicates of imported articles is to archive those that have already been imported. Maybe someone could work out a way to run a process where joomla content is pulled (and replaced/deleted) in smallish chunks from a pseudo temp archive to build the import to K2 until it's finished without hitting memory allocation errors. I'm not expressing this concept too clearly but hopefully the gist is decipherable:-) Meanwhile I'll try to contact Arthur.

William White said:There may be a simple solution, but tracking it down might be difficult. The environment can have many settings that will affect whats going on. My idea was to "avoid" the Joomla environment and overhead partially by using the server php/mysql environment only at first to get the data. Then let Joomla enviornment with its built in overhead take a smaller piece at a time. I have seen/written desktop apps that run in a database environment where you get an odbc connection to the remote table, then copy it to a local file, process it locally to change the structrure and reorganize it in the needed format, then insert it into the "other" in this case k2 tables to get the desired result.
Arthur @ the link i supplied should probably already know about the limitations of his extension

Thanks. I follow your suggested method, however, even the compressed Akeeba .gpa backup file is > 350MB for this site. How big do you think the CSV download file might be? Until the K2 Import content feature is improved (automatic forced splitting into manageable chunks?) adding the K2 component to an existing largish Joomla 1.5 site seems, at first sight, impracticable at best.

William White said:I would try breaking the import into smaller chunks. As there is not a way to do this with default k2, i would first try: phpmyadmin - export to csv, bring the file to local machine
use xcel or local mysql, or other database program to split the file into multiple csv files
then i would use www.individual-it.net/en/Joomla/ to import the articles to items.
If your articles are divided into groups by joomla section and/or category that may be a way to use phpmyadmin to break them into chunks

I have ~25,000 joomla articles to import.  I got to about 2,000 and got this error:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 89653248) (tried to allocate 1945 bytes) in/home/globalpr/public_html/k2gpm/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 462

Any ideas?

Hi there,I've been trying to build a k2 plugin, but I get a "Class "JLoader" not found fatal error when I enable plugin. Any ideas why that might be happening? I'm using the K2 api - JLoader::register('K2Plugin', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'lib'.DS.'k2plugin.php'); at the beginning of the php file, and the plugin is registered in the k2 folder.

Hello, I keep getting this error on k2 v2.2 and acajoombot_k2.2_ugmojoe plugin installed, on joomla 1.5.15

Create a new newsletter, Insert the code for a k2 article in the newsletter, then click preview. It shows a screen like the jpg attached.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ContentHelperRoute::_findItem() in /home/mcn/public_html/libraries/joomla/application/application.php on line 1079

I disabled the normal content plugin for acajoom.

Thankyou Guys.

This is the error I receive when trying to view an item via front-end on the site...

I get the following error when I try and install it the normal way in Joomla

Fatal error: Call to a member function data() on a non-object in /xxx/xxx/public_html/libraries/joomla/installer/adapters/plugin.php on line 64

Will it be save to simply copy the file to installation? where should it go?
