Hello, [quote]We have this file this file gets imported okay except these two fields: picture_url picture_url_thumb[/quote] picture_url and picture_url_thumb fields are supported only in export and so will not work on import. You need to use file_url and file_url_thumb fields for import. You can look at [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/import-virtuemart-images]Import VirtueMart images[/url] document to get more details.
Hello Liz, In your Joomla Global configuration page on Site tab under SEO Settings, do you have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes? This should be set to Yes as RO CSVI uses Joomla settings for generating SEF URLs. Set this option to Yes and then go to CSVI Maintenance page, select Joomla Content in first option, Refresh SEF URL's in second option. Select your export template and set Empty SEF cache to Yes. Click continue. Try your export again and check if you are getting SEF URLs.
Hello, This is possible indeed, please check our [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-payments/show-payment-options-in-rsforms-pro-form]Mollie Payment Options document[/url]. This explains step by step how to add the payment options, a sample form is included as well.
Goedemorgen Fred, De foutmelding die je ziet is inderdaad omdat het certificaat niet meer geldig is of een geldigheid heeft langer dan 5 jaar. Dit ligt er even aan wanneer de certificaten zijn aangemaakt. Je zal de certificaten opnieuw moeten genereren en in de website moeten instellen en uploaden naar de bank. Mocht je hier de handleiding voor nodig hebben, die staat hier: https://rolandd.com/downloads/download/ro-payments-manual Daarna zou het weer moeten werken. Eventueel kan er een installatie besteld worden om het door ons te laten doen. Die kan via deze link besteld worden: https://rolandd.com/shop/order/ro-payments-installation
Hello Rudolf, First thing i am noticing from your import file is that there is no relation between parent and child products. The import files should have product_parent_sku field so there is a link between child and parent products. You need to add that. To create an override for child product you should have custom_override field in your import file with value set to Y. You can check [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/product-import-with-custom-fields]Product import with custom fields[/url] document to know on how to use this field. [quote]I tried importing a single file or importing separate files and each time the result was the same. [/quote] You can have one file for both parent and child products. The results were same because there was no relation between parent and child products and each products was taken as individual product. Do these changes and run your import. If you still have issues, post the import debug log and sample import file to check. To get the debug log check [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/how-to-collect-debug-information]How to collect debug information?[/url] document.
Hello, You need to use [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/virtuemart-products#import]Virtuemart Product import template[/url] with the following fields in your import file. Meta Information >> There is no specific field for Meta information. The fields available are metadesc, metakey, metarobot and metaauthor. Can you tell us which specific field you are looking for so we can tell you the equivalent fieldname in VirtueMart? Custom Page Title >> customtitle Meta Keywords >> metakey Meta Description >> metadesc Meta Robots >> metarobot
Hello Cindy, We have not looked into developing an add-on for JReviews primarily because there is not enough demand. We can build add-on for payment, since all add-ons are their own plugin, it can be developed encapsulated. So you are not core-hacking RO CSVI. To be able to give you an estimate we would need to know which parts you want to export/import of JReviews. By looking at it, it is a huge extension. Let me know and we can see how we can move forward.
Hallo, Je kan alle bestanden bij versie 4.14.0, dat was de laatste grote update van alle extensies: https://rolandd.com/downloads/category/ro-payments-4-14-0 Als alles loopt zoals gepland dan komt aankomende week de nieuwe versie uit en staan alle downloads weer vooraan.
Hello Sergio, [quote]- How can I tell the template to match column color with my custom field color, same for custom field size?[/quote] In CSVI Templates fields page, you can set Your field value to the Custom field field with the name as in your import file. In your import template settings on File tab set Use file for configuration to No so CSVI will read your template fields and not the column headers from the import file. [quote]- How can I combine both image fields to one? [/quote] You can use [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/combining-multiple-fields-into-one-in-csvi-import]CSVI Combine rule plugin[/url] to combine your image fields. Also the combine character to be set in the combine rule would be | as CSVI uses | as separator for multiple images. Let me know if it is clear.
Hello, From what i noticed in VirtueMart is that Call for Price will be shown on frontend when the product has no price set so you need to delete price set for the products. To delete price for a product you need to use price_delete field with value set to Y in your import file. Also VirtueMart products can have multiple prices and to select a particular price and delete, CSVI needs few needed fields in import file. You can check these needed fields in [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/virtuemart-prices#import]VirtueMart Price import[/url] document. In the examples section of the document you can see on how to use price_delete field.
Hello Helmut, The product alias can be reset by editing your template and go to the Options tab and click the Advanced button in the top right corner. Now you have the setting to recreate the aliases. That should be enough to reset the aliases. [quote]Can your pprogram make a comprehensive virtuemart sitemap?[/quote] The program isn't designed for a sitemap like [url=https://extensions.perfectwebteam.com/pwt-sitemap]PWT Sitemap[/url] but you can get quite far, not sure if it is far enough for you ;) Have a look at our [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/google-sitemap]VirtueMart Google Sitemap[/url] article.
Hello, [quote]What happens to the existing fields that are NOW blank( in new file) but were there earlier in Virtuemart? now after imported those fileds would be turned Blank?[/quote] Let me explain. In your Example VirtueMart Product export template, you should have only two template fields, product_sku and product_name. This way you will not have any other fields in your export file. Your export file will have only product_sku and product_name. Now when you import this exported file, no other fields will be updated. RO CSVI will only update the fields which are in your import file. Hope it is clear. [quote]-- or will get appended (add (something) to the end of a written document.)?[/quote] With RO CSVI, in VirtueMart product import product_sku field is the needed field. And it is called needed field because we use the value in this field to identify the product in the VirtueMart products table. If the product_sku value is already there in database then the existing product will be updated. If the product_sku value is not in the database then a new product will be created. We are updating only one field the product_name field for the selected or inserted product. I asked you to test with product_sku and product_name field as product_sku is a needed field and product_name is a basic field which has no processing on import. With this basic import we will know if your import itself has a problem or the fields you are importing are causing the errors. Let me know if you need any more clarification.
Hello, [quote]1. Nowhere in the documentation how to set up correctly (I followed the documentation https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/custom-fields-for-all-for-virtuemart)[/quote] Yes, you're right there is no parent child relation examples explained in the document. All the examples are one product based. I will update the document. [quote]2. All products have a relationship already created in the e-shop and we just add custom fields that are already created. [/quote] For CSVI to know the relation during import it is a must that parent-child relation is in the import file. [quote]If it is necessary to add to csv now, please write how to proceed correctly.

Hello, The culprit has been found and the issue was that the product ID wasn't set for the images, so they were imported but without product ID, as such they won't show up. Attached is a patch file you can apply by following our [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/how-to-load-a-patch-file]How to load a patch file[/url] tutorial. In case you know how and would like to clean out all images that have no product ID attached you can run the following command, you need to replace [b]jos[/b] with your own prefix. [code type="sql"]DELETE FROM jos_j2store_productimages WHERE product_id IS NULL[/code] Let me know how it goes.

Hello Edwin, Ok, this is not an RO Payments issue as I suspected earlier but rather with the Payment Package settings. The problem is with your payment options. By default the option to select the first entry is enabled. You have disabled this and so no selection is pre-checked. The payment package requires an option to be selected. So the solution here is to enable the select first entry again in the betaalmethode field. P.s. Yes I am Dutch but other support is not. So when I am not around, others can pick-up and if it is in Dutch, they have no clue where to look :)
Hello Elisabeth, You are not seeing the values of id, title and category in F2C article export because we have no support for Joomla fields yet in Form2Content export. If it is to import the Content type fields as Joomla custom fields then you can do the following. 1. [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/how-to-load-a-patch-file]Load the attached patch file[/url]. 2. In your Form2Content Article export add fields website, email and reference_id (This is id of Joomla content linked to Form2Content article) and do the export. 3. Create Joomla content import template. 4. In the Joomla content import template link reference_id field to id field, website and email to your Joomla custom fields. 5. Run the import with the exported file. Since we are running the import with the id, the content type fields values which has to be Joomla custom fields values will get updated to article with corresponding id. Let me know if this helps.

Hello, I try again but not runs. Price products are not updated. I adjoint log NOTE: I try to install the csvi6 and not runs. (Before I remove the database csvi and unisntall the version 5 Pro) Then I can't install any csvi. Not csvi 5 pro and not csvi 6. I restore the web backup and now I can work again. I will try again to import prices with different csv files, but if you are somme idea that can be the error I will be thankfulled for your help :) Kind regards
Are you mixing CSVI 6 and CSVI 5 installations? You can delete all tables in your database that start with csvi_ and then uninstall CSVI from Joomla and then install CSVI 5. It would be better to stay with CSVI 6 as that is still being updated and CSVI 5 is not.
Hello I followed the steps in the [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/dependent-custom-fields-for-all]tutorial/url] (which is similar to the answer) and I ended with two products: the parent which had three CF4ALLParent custom fields and the child product which had three CF4ALL. None of the six custom fields had any value. I tried to prefill the CF4ALLParent and CF4ALL with values and repeat the import but I had the same result. So I thought I could build the product I want and get the csv via an export. 1. I build CF4ALLParent (which represent "type of material") according to the tutorial plus: cart input=yes, layout position=addtocart, display type=drop-down list. Added two values: "Plastic" and "Fabric" (CF4ALLParent image). 2. I build CF4ALL (which represent "material") according to the tutorial plus: price-variat=yes, cart input=yes, layout position=addtocart, display type=drop-down list. Added some values: "Fabric->Cotton", "Fabric->Silc", "Plastic-Nylon" and some more (CF4ALL image) 3. In a new product I added three CF4ALL custom fields, the ones I mention above, with respective prices 1, 2 and 3 (see ProductCustomFields image). Now the user has a master-detail list selection (ProductBuy image) 4. I created the product export template (dcf4all.xml). I *do not* have the custom_parent_value field when I build the field list but I *do* have it available when I build the product import template. 5. When I run the export I get the dcf4all.csv which is missing things, like the field values. My question is how to fix the cf4all.csv file in order to get the product .[attachment]C4ALLParent.png[/attachment][attachment]CF4ALL.png[/attachment][attachment]ProductBuy.png[/attachment][attachment]ProductCustomFields.png[/attachment][attachment]ProductBuy.jpg[/attachment]
Hi Roland! We are working with CSVI 6.4.1 - Virtuemart 3.0.12. joomla 3.4.8 We have a impot template load from server. the automatic CSV file( from stocks program) have extension CSV ( with capital letters) and CSVI anwers back with error because it is case-sensitive. It recognizes csv extension but not CSV extension. How I can solve it? Is It possible solve fom CSVI or I need a solution from server tecnhical support or stocks program support?
Hello, Please have a look at the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/854-500-internal-server-error]500 Internal Server Error[/url] tutorial to get more information on the error. Also, i see that you are using CSVI5 version, it is recommended you update your CSVI to latest 6.5.4 version. There are a lot of new features added in CSVI6 version.
Hello Jimmy, You seem to have come from an older CSVI version like CSVI 5 and not followed the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or updating of CSVI 6[/url] document. See if you can uninstall CSVI and then install it. If this fails, you will either need to remove all the tables in your database that start with csvi_ manually and then do a clean install. Or if you wish to keep your templates, remove the tables from the database that start with csvi_ and restore the tables from a backup and add them to your database and then install the new CSVI version.
J 3.5.1 SCVI 6.5.6 sh404SEF 4.7.3.3292. I have same "com-csvi-about" in Virtuemart urls. http://itryazan.ru/ort/com-csvi-about/catalog Even I fully disable CSVI. When I try to deinstall CSVI tables from maintance and also CSVI files from "Extensions - Manage" it`s delete all menu items and sh404 component. But after that "com-csvi-about" is gone.
Hello, You have an older CSVI version installed it seems, please uninstall any CSVI version you have and after that remove all the tables from the database that start with csvi_. After that you can install CSVI 6 as a clean installation.
Hello, Since you are on Joomla 3 with VirtueMart 3, you really should be using CSVI 6. The support for CSVI 5 has ended and there won't be any more development done on CSVI 5. The file you posted, FORTE.csv, is strange, I can't open it as a normal CSV file. The first 2 lines are OK but after that everything seems broken. The file as it is now can't be read by CSV due to the line breaks and not using any text enclosure. So, my suggestion would be to fix the CSV file first, install CSVI 6 as well. Once that is done, let's see what is going wrong where. You can check the CSV file in CSVI by going to Maintenance -> Analyzer. Load the CSV file and check if it looks OK. After I added the text enclosure " to the first record, it looked OK.
CSVI is already installed in the other site but it seems with incorrect data. The installation process is trying to do an update. It would be best to completely remove all tables that start with csvi_ and then uninstall CSVI from the website. After that install CSVI and the add-on again.
Hello Andy, You must not only uninstall CSVI 5 but also remove the database tables that start with csvi_. After you have done that and all is clean, you can install CSVI 6 beta.
Hello, I just purchased your component and I can't make anything work at first. I'm getting a stream of content from a provider. The stream can be XML or CSV. I have a sample CSV file (attached). I'm testing with a limited number of fields and I limited the export to 10 lines to test. I have issues both with import and export logs of what I did is attached (see csv3.png) I ran the field update process (see csv4.png). It seems to work but the list of available fields remains empty after update. My configuration : Joomla 3.3.6, K2 3.0 (Beta), CSVI 5.19 [b]Pb with import[/b] I created a K2, import template and selected the fields I want to get from the CSV. All attempts to import return no record. I assume the mapping is not correct but I don't understand how to map my CSV columns to K2 item The analysis of the CSV displays correct columns (see csv2.png) If I look at the [b]PB with export:[/b] When I try to export I see an error message at the end of the long setting screen. I assume there should be tabs on this screen but they do not appear. Instead all the content is displayed on a single page and it ends with and Error message : Unknown column 'c.parent' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT c.parent AS parent_id, c.id, c.name AS catname FROM c43f9_k2_categories c LEFT JOIN c43f9_k2_categories x ON x.parent = c.id WHERE c.language = '*'
Hello, As per CSVI this field is exported in number format and with two decimals so you see it as 15.00. CSVI supports exports file in three formats CSV, HTML and XML. May be this has something to do when you try to open the exported CSV file in Excel.
Hello, You seem to have a conflict in the database. I recommend you uninstall CSVI from Joomla and remove all database tables starting with csvi_. After that install CSVI 6, so you should have a clean installation.
Thanks For your support i have installaed all plugin, now i can see the component, but CVI notify " CSVI Pro - VirtueMart Sito Plugin 7.1.0" is outdated i have all other plugin CVI 7.2.3 whre coud i find the CSVI Pro - VirtueMart 7.2.3? thanks in advance Regards
Hello, The problem is CSVI 5 and CSVI 6 versions have a lot of difference in them in terms of files and database structure. So for [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1076&catid=22&Itemid=252]updating from CSVI 5 to CSVI 6[/url] version there is a procedure to be followed which is mentioned in the extension downloads section on CSVI main site. It is now recommended to completely remove all tables that start with csvi_ and then uninstall CSVI. After that do a fresh install of CSVI 6.5.2 and the Virtuemart add-on.
Hi Import manufacturers doesn't success in import file CSV. Could you check my file : EXPORT by CSVI 5.21 (J2.5/VM2.6) --> IMPORT to CSVI 5.21 (J3.4 / VM3.0.6) Separator in joined file = [# "] Regards
Hello, Is it possible to define the import fields in the CSV file (first line) and have CSVi auto-detect from there? I would like to avoid the step of defining them in the Template as well. The field names are in the first line of the CSV file, and they correspond exactly to the field names in CSVi specifically about VM import, first line in CSV would be like: product_sku,product_price,product_name
Hello, Looking through the history here some things need some clearing up. First off, your original CSV file, as posted in the first post, is OK. Your Title 1 is what should be in the CSV file, Title 2 in your screenshot is not used by CSVI. Second, this is probably the core issue, it looks to me you have not installed the CSVI plugin for Multiple Custom Field extension. It can be found in [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-4-3]the extensions download[/url] under the title [b]Product Filter custom field[/b]. Since 6.4.1 has been superseded by 6.4.3, you may want to update CSVI as well. Once you have the plugin installed, run the import with your original CSV file and let me know how it goes.
Hello, Sounds like you had some old tables left in your installation. In your database, remove all tables that start with csvi_ and/or csvivirtuemart_. After that uninstall CSVI from Joomla if it is there. After that you can install CSVI 6 again.
Hello, This error usually shows up when some old CSVI tables were present during installation. The easiest would be to do a clean installation by going to the maintenance section in CSVI and select to delete the CSVI tables. After that uninstall CSVI so that all is gone. After that do an install of CSVI and you should be OK. If the error still shows up you will have to check your database and manually remove the tables that start with csvi_ and uninstall CSVI. After that doing an install you should have a clean installation.
Hi, Use Excel 2010 to create csv files! Thanks [attachment]Prova-csvi-A-Stato.csv[/attachment]
Hello, CSVI has option to export only as CSV, HTML and XML. If you are going to use CSVI to import articles to your new site, you can use the exported file to import to new site.
Hello, You cannot export Excel file in CSVI but you can change the .csv extension to .xls of your exported CSV file and Excel will be able to open it.

CSVI Pro 6.5.3 Joomla 3.4.8 VM 3.0.13 Hello I try to map some fields from an existing csv to the csvi fields. I have imported the csv to the fieldmapper and all field of the csv are shown in the overview. Saved the map and assigned two fields... to product_sku and products_in_stock. The first field (product_sku) saved as it should be, the second resets himself after saving... see images. What did i do wrong?
I just ran it again like this 1 - import that csv 2 - csvi > maintennce > available fields 3 - import the CSV again As per screenshots, products are added , but the link between the multivariants is not there using Vm3.0.8 Joomla 3.4.3 CSVi 6.0.rc1 Didn't know there was a VM 3.0.9, so I'll go and seek it out and try again :S
is correct. And the rule works CSVI MultiReplace works fine with this setting. The file is also a csv file.
Hi, I'm new with virtuemart and csvi. Never used it before. It seems that it is required to add new products to virtemart only with different csvi-templates, is this correct? I know this from other systems with only ONE csv-file upload (for example ebay) - is this not possible with csvi? Is it really needed to upload one csv-file with 2 or 3 csvi-templates to add a new product with title, price and stock? Thanks, Andreas just saw in the docu (http://www.csvimproved.com/de/support/questions-and-answers/915-csvi-field-mapper), that you have there another values in the selection virtumart "product" then i have?? All these fields like "products_price" are missing in my "Product", i have only "product_gtin", "product_in_stock" ... - whats wrong?
Hello, You have two options to solve this issue. First option is 1. Update CSVI5 to CSVI 6, on maintainence tab, backup templates so you have them in CSVI6 format 2. Uninstall CSVI completely, do a fresh install of CSVI 6 3. On maintenance tab run the restore template using the file you backed up. Another option is that you can delete the table csvi_availablefields table completely from phpmyadmin and run the below query so a new table is created and run the update available fields and that would solve the problem. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__csvi_availablefields` ( `csvi_availablefield_id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `csvi_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `component_name` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `component_table` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `component` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `action` VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, `isprimary` TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`csvi_availablefield_id`), UNIQUE INDEX `component_name_table` (`component_name`, `component_table`, `component`, `action`) ) CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Available fields for CSVI'";
Hi, I'm in the process of migrating product from a Joomla 2.5.28/VirtueMart 2.0.26d site and importing into a Joomla 3.7.2/VirtueMart 3.2.2 site. On the Joomla 2.5 site I've installed CSVI 5.11. Everything exports OK except the product_s_desc doesn't include the line breaks which on the site is used. When I open the exported CSV file in OpenOffice for Mac the description just shows with white spaces where a line break should be. An example CSV is attached. In the CSVI export configuration I have: Export Type - CSV Field Delimiter - , Text Enclosure - " Include column headers - Yes Excel CSV - No Not surprisingly importing this CSV into Joomla 3/CSVI Pro 7.1.0 doesn't show line breaks either. I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong but can't find anything that would resolve it. Regards, Julian.
Hello John, Have you set Use file for extension to be CSV On file tab in your import template settings? This setting is to tell CSVI that your file extension is CSV.
Hi, I tried to import products. In my template the option process images is set to "NO". In my CSV File I've the file_url with the path to my existing files. But on import CSVI is creating for all files new images with the default path. CSVI PRO 6.5.3 Regards, Maik Edit: Add Attachements seems not working, I've added log and csv, but it is not visible
Hello, [quote]With "Template settings are different after import" I mean, i have first saved the Templates with CSVi before i have deinstalled it, and then make a new install of CSVi and import the templates again on the SAME site.[/quote]What is the difference then? I need you to explain me what is different, not just tell me "It's different". It has to be CSVI6 to CSVI6 because CSVI5 to CSVI6 won't work. [quote]I must do a first run to import all parent products and then again for the child products[/quote]There is no need to do that, you can put all the parent and child products in one file. As long as you make sure the parents come before the children. It's biology ;) [quote]but i notice no difference with the setting yes or no[/quote]If you mean the Force stockable parent update, this is no longer used because VirtueMart removed the stockable variants option. [quote]but for beginners like me very difficult to use it.[/quote]Whether something is difficult or easy is very subjective of course. I do agree that starting with CSVI and you have no knowledge there is a learning curve. We don't have video tutorials but we have written tutorials with screenshots. Of course the forum if you have any questions.
Hello Rolandd . Thanks for the answer and solution. I loaded CSV file joomla 6.5.5 to 3.5. Joomla informs me : Plugin activated. But in backend in CSVI component , the version that appears again and again it is 6.5.4 . I reinstalled CSVI 6.5.5 , but still appears CSVI 6.5.4 . How can I solve that? Thank you very much , Rolandd !
Hello, [quote]I followed the steps in the [url=https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/dependent-custom-fields-for-all]tutorial/url] (which is similar to the answer) and I ended with two products: the parent which had three CF4ALLParent custom fields and the child product which had three CF4ALL. None of the six custom fields had any value. I tried to prefill the CF4ALLParent and CF4ALL with values and repeat the import but I had the same result.[/quote] You did not include your import debug log to check what has gone wrong. Please send it to check what has happened with your import. [quote]1. I build CF4ALLParent (which represent "type of material";) according to the tutorial plus: cart input=yes, layout position=addtocart, display type=drop-down list. Added two values: "Plastic" and "Fabric" (CF4ALLParent image). [/quote] This looks correct. [quote]2. I build CF4ALL (which represent "material";) according to the tutorial plus: price-variat=yes, cart input=yes, layout position=addtocart, display type=drop-down list. Added some values: "Fabric->Cotton", "Fabric->Silc", "Plastic-Nylon" and some more (CF4ALL image)[/quote] This also looks correct. [quote]I created the product export template (dcf4all.xml). I *do not* have the custom_parent_value field when I build the field list but I *do* have it available when I build the product import template.[/quote] You are not seeing that field in export template because we did not add support for it. For now we have added support for dependentcustomfieldsforall only for import. [quote]5. When I run the export I get the dcf4all.csv which is missing things, like the field values. [/quote] Again you are seeing empty values because of no support for dependentcustomfieldsforall on export. Send me your debug log and let us find why your import is not working.
Thank you for all your help. I've done what you suggested, however I am encountering errors. Attached log and two single product csv's as I want to import one product correctly first before doing all the others. I've tried importing the product csv first then prices csv as you suggested. Problem 1 - Virtuemart image is not showing. Reading your forums I see that allow image to be saved on server must be checked, which it is for the template. The image file exists under the file location. Typing in URL shows this. CSVI Product Sample file csv com_csvi.log.21 Problem 2 - Error message: These fields have been found but are not supported by CSVI: price_quantity_start, price_quantity_end. I have run update fields several times as suggested in the log. CSVI Prices Sample file csv com_csvi.log.25 Don't know what else to do, I've tried over and over again to fix these issues. Joomla 3.6.2, CSVI Improved 6.6.4. Thank you for any help provided.
* VirtueMart version 3.0 * CSVI version 5.20 I am trying to import the prices and products from a csv file into Virtuemart usinc CSVI. I have used the sample product import template provided. I have linked the template field names to the ".csv" file field names The website is in Italian. What I am doing wrong? What step am I missing? Thanks Fabio Gerussi
I'm struggling to import & overwrite prices in a J2Store. Products have 1 main price & 4 prices set to different user groups. We initially set these up using CSVI, but cant get a simple CSVi template to overwrite prices to work. Using CSVi > J2store > Price sku,regular_price,price, cusomer_group_name I have set; "Overwrite existing data": YES "Skip New Items":NO When I run this on a small test CSV, for 2 products I know exist, each have 4 prices set for different usergroups, I see the CSVi success screen showing that 8 products have had "Product price updated", but upon checking the products back end, nothing is updated? Screenshots, sample CSV & log file attached Joomla 3.9.3 PHP 7.2.15 J2 Store 3.3.6 Pro CSVi 7.11.0
Hello Steve, The update is available and ready to download. For CSV Improved it is not required to uninstall and remove all. You can uninstall CSVI using the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] article if you really want to do so. We do not do site maintenance, that is not part of the regular support.
Hello, I had a look at the URL again and since the URL is able to download the CSV file, CSVI should be able to process this file. If you are not on CSVI 7.4.1 version, try the following steps in your import. 1. The first issue with the URL is HTML characters, keeping '&' in the URL says the URL has been permanently moved and so CSVI is not able to read the URL correct. You need to change & to html entity in your URL and save it in Load from URL field. So your URL now be [code type="markup"]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQDPwGkysPHQeRXIQ3pqrOhDd7e4XgtGAedeNOnndu52S0-ojA4r9LYKqlAnTyjHJ4G7e6O2ZwJbb7f/pub?gid=0&single=true&output=csv[/code] 2. On file tab, set Use file for extension to be CSV so you are forcing the extension to be CSV. 3. On the same file tab set Use file for configuration to No. This way you are telling CSVI to read template fields as CSVI cannot recognise the field names in your file. 4. Add template fields to your template and run the import. Let me know if it works.
Hi Tharuna, I was able to export shipping prices. Thanks. Now I am trying to import shipping prices. I created Template fro importing shipping prices. Added field per this documentation - https://csvimproved.com/support/203-import/virtuemart/840-import-virtuemart-2-shipping-rates But when I try to import them I am getting this error: See attachment: import-shipping-pricesfolch33.png And when I am Analyzing my csv file I am getting this error: "BOM (Byte Order Mark) found" (CSVI-analyzer-shipping-prices.PNG) .

Hi, I've created an Virtuemart Product Import template. Every night a CSV is being imported with a cron job, using this template. On the 'Options' tab I've set 'Unpublish before import' to 'Yes'. How I expected this to work is: - first unpublish ALL products, whether they are in the CSV or not - import or update the products from the CSV - set product => 'pulbished' = 1 where column 'published' from CSV is set to 1 This is how it worked for me on an other site so far, using CSVI Pro 5.13. The behaviour of CSVI Pro 6 (currently using 6.4.1) seems to be different, or is not working at all: The import doesn't seem to touch products that are not mentioned in the CSV. Can you please let me know what I should do to get things working as expected (meaning: unpublish ALL products before import, incl. those not mentioned in CSV) Thank you, Kind regards, Ralph Joomla: 3.4.5 VM: 3.0.12 CSVI: 6.4.1 PHP: 5.4.43
Hello, [quote]I hope my templates are saved somewhere :)[/quote]You have backups right ;) Templates are still there, just the database structure is incomplete. [quote]When I try to upgrade it won't upgrade but it asks me to use the direct download link.[/quote]That will happen if you haven't entered your download ID into CSVI. Looks like you didn't follow the CSVI 5 to CSVI 6 upgrade path as outlined in the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or updating of CSVI 6[/url] document. You are now stuck between a half update and Joomla having amnesia. If you have a backup of your database, that would be the easiest. In that case you can remove all the tables that start with csvi_ in your site and replace them with the tables that start with csvi_ from your backup. [b]DO NOT REMOVE[/b] the tables if you don't have a backup. Once that is done, check if you can uninstall CSVI from Joomla (to clear Joomla's mind). After that install CSVI 6. You should be good to go after that.
Hello, [quote] Not csvi 5 pro and not csvi 6.[/quote]Are you running Joomla 3.4.1? That is required for CSVI 6. If you have 3.4.1, what error do you get on installation? Make sure you install the component before the addon. For all products I see this: [quote]Child product and empty price, not adding so it will take the price of the parent product[/quote] That means your column configuration is incorrect (assuming this since there is no CSV file). Make sure the columns in your template match the columns in your CSV file.
[b]@lazy[/b], How did you get on with this. I am interested in using multi variants too & if I can make it easier with CSVi, then great. Currently I imported all my product/children in a separate CSV file & now need to link them with multi variants. [b]@Rolandd[/b] Is it easier to have multiple imports as we used to do in VM2 when using the stockable variant plugin? I used to import parent/child file first, then a custom field, set up import and last another CSVi import to link them all together. With VM3 & CSVi6, can all this be done with one template, as @Lazy has set up already earlier in this thread?

Hi, I'm using CSVi 5.18. I have issued a template to import users. The CSV file contains usernames that begins with "zero" (example 0208836). How to force the import as text ? because CSVi imports the usernames as numbers deleting the initial "0"... Thanks in advance. Regards. Andrea

The debug log only shows me the message it can't find the product SKU, without the CSV file I find it hard to understand what is going on.
Hello, So we checked a little bit further and one thing that stands out is that in the list of notices there is this line [quote]/home/ekkinox/www/cms/administrator/components/com_csvivirtuemart/csvivirtuemart.php on line 47[/quote] The [b]com_csvivirtuemart[/b] is the name of CSVI version up to 3.x. You stated that you are using CSVI 5.21.2 so the name should be com_csvi instead. All this means is that there seems to be a mix of old and new CSVI versions on your site. Are you sure you have chosen the correct CSVI instance? If you only have one CSVI version installed, then it may be a bit of a mess. In that case it is best to remove CSVI completely and remove any tables from your database that start with csvi_ or csvivirtuemart and after that do a clean installation of CSVI 5.21.2.
Hello Drees, Yes that is the same setting i was talking about. You are forcing CSVI to use .csv file as extension for your import file.
Hello Tim, You can use this document reference for CSVI6 though the screenshot and version number is of CSVI 5. Google export is still the same and you can follow the instructions in there.
Hello, That is the old table of 5.20 and not the new one. It seems that not all csvi_ tables were removed before. What you can do is, remove all the tables that start with xxx_csvi_, where xxx is your table prefix. Uninstall CSVI 6 from the site and after that install CSVI 6 again. You should have the correct tables now.
Hello, Do you mean for the attached image you are getting the error COM_CSVI DEBUG_FILE_IS_NOT_IMAGE? The attached image seems to be a valid one. Can you post your debug log to check? [quote]SCVI is a super program.[/quote] I guess it should be CSVI :lol: . It would be great if you can post a review for CSVI on Joomla extension directory.
Hello, The reason you can't import the templates from the CSVI 5 system is because they are in a different format. In CSVI 5, all templates were managed in the CSV format, whereas they are managed in XML as of CSVI 6. My suggestion would be as follows:[ol][li]Create a test website of your old 2.5 site with CSVI installed[/li][li]Update Joomla to Joomla 3.4.5[/li][li]Update CSVI 5 to CSVI 6[/li][li]Run the backup templates option in CSVI 6 on the test site[/li][li]You should get an XML now of your templates[/li][li]Import the templates into your new site[/li][/ol] No need to worry about incompatibilities as all that is needed on this test site is to keep CSVI working to export the templates in XML format.
In your CSV file you have named the field cap-boy, see column G (multi_variant_fields). That is why it shows up as cap-boy in CSVI.
Hello Edward, Why are you using CSVI 5.20? The current release is 6.3.0 for Joomla 3. If you want to keep using CSVI 5, you may want to use CSVI 5.21.2. The error you get can happen if Joomla can't unpack the installation package. You can try to use one of the alternative installation methods Joomla offers, like the install from folder or the discover method. By the way, if you decide to use CSVI 6, make sure you don't have any conflicts with the broken installation routine by removing all the tables in your database that start with csvi_.
* VirtueMart version 3.0 * CSVI version 5.20 I am developing a dropshipping website and I would like to use CSVI to import data automatically. I have the username and password of the folder where the company providing the products saves 4 times a day csv files with all the products in them.. One of these CSV files has the data I need. I would like to get the following done by CSVI - automatically 1- Accessing the remote FTP folder 2- Importing the new products, changed prices, number of items in stock, new images, etc. 3- Updating the Virtumart tables. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help.
Hello, I have moved your topic since you are not using Joomla 2.5. As for the error, it seems you have tried to install CSVI 6 more than one where the first time the installation failed and left the database inconsistent. Joomla is trying to run the update file while it has already ran. What to do next is: [ol][li]Uninstall CSVI[/li][li]Delete all database tables that start with csvi_[/li][li]Update to Joomla 3.4.3 (minimum required version is 3.4.1 for CSVI 6 RC 1 Pro)[/li][li]Install CSVI 6[/li][li]Install the addon of your choice.[/li][/ol] Now you will have CSVI 6 installed.

Hello, The CSV file is in the wrong direction. Your data is horizontal whereas a regular CSV file has it's data vertical. The field names should all be on the first row and the data on row 2 and down. That is why CSVI can't read your file. Well it can but it is not the result you want.

I used CSVI to export 2 products. I edited the csv file to add 3 more test products and bring the total to 5 products, then I imported it back into VirtueMart. The log says 5 products were imported; however, all I see in the store is the original 2 products I created manually. Here's the file I imported and the log reflecting that it appears to have been imported properly. Can you explain why this happened so I can learn to do this right? I use CVSI Pro 7.3.0 with VirtueMart 3.2.6 and Joomla! 3.8.2 Thanks.
There are some problems with reading your CSV file, look at this: [quote]WHERE `product_sku` = 'GC0001,\"Alvikorr Alapozó és zománc egyben 0,25 liter\",Rö[/quote] CSVI doesn't recognize the SKU and reads the complete line. Your CSV file looks all good to me and I can import it without a problem here. There is one unsupported field but not relevant to the issue here. What do you see on the About page? Are all folders writable? Instead of uploading the file, if you put the file on the server and let CSVI read it from the folder, does it work OK then?
I installed and enabled CSVI Pro Extension and CSV Improved Tools, but still got this message: The CSV Improved Addon for extension Custom Filters has not been installed. You can download the addon from the CSV Improved Downloads page. I am using Break Design Custom Fields For All, and want to import products with Custom fields. What else I need to install, what i am doing wrong ?
Hello Sam, [quote]Please, where can I check if the file UTF-8 encoded?[/quote] Please check [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save a CSV file as UTF-8 encoded[/url] document. You can then use [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyser[/url] to check your file. Analyser will show you invalid characters if your file is still not UTF-8 encoded. [quote]And where can I change the image location in the import file? You mean CSVI file from the old site?[/quote] Yes the file from your old site which you are using for import. You need to change image location for file_url and file_url_thumb fields in that file before running the import.
Hello Dave, [quote]Firstly, I wish you had a pre-sales section on your forum that potential customers could question the import / export possibilities prior to purchase as I could not find a defined answer in your documentation. Anyway, paid for a subscription now based on my observations on what this can do.[/quote] Any pre sale queries can be posted on [url=https://csvimproved.com/contact]CSVI contact form[/url] page or can be sent as an email to contact@csvimproved.com. [quote]I can see that com_content and K2 components are supported and I can see that in the previous version change log you state that Styleware Map is also supported although not on your official list on your site.[/quote] Yes, CSVI supports com_content, K2 and also Form2Content. We also support Styleware may for K2 which you can download from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-4-0]CSVI downloads[/url] page. [quote]1 - Export the Header and Pitch fields from Styleware Map into K2 two new K2 extra fields.[/quote] You can do that by exporting Styleware map fields from K2 item export operation and import it back as extra fields. [quote]2 - Once this is done export the K2 items and extra fields (including the above) into a CSV.[/quote] You can use [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/export/210-k2/1100-export-k2-items]K2 item export[/url] operation so to get the k2 items into a CSV file. [quote]3 - Import the exported K2 CSV data into Form2content to copy the extra fields to F2C fields and the K2 items to F2C articles?[/quote] CSVI supports both [url=https://csvimproved.com/search?q=k2]K2 [/url]and [url=https://csvimproved.com/search?q=form2content]Form2Content[/url] import and export operations. Make sure that you have CSVI K2 addon extension and CSVI Form2Content addon installed along with CSVI main package on your site. You can find these extensions on CSVI Pro Extensions section in [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions]Downloads[/url] page. You can then export the needed details from K2 and import the file in to Form2Content. Let us know if you need any more details.
Hello Julius, [quote]Is there a way to rename the SKU with CSV[/quote]Easiest would be to create an import and export template of the type CSVI PRO / Custom table and select the virtuemart_product table as table to export and import from. Only export the fields virtuemart_product_id and product_sku. Change the SKUs as needed and import this CSV file.
Hello Peter / Ingemar, The first thing I notice about your file is that it does not have an extension, this way CSVI has no idea of what kind of file you are importing. Either change the filename from K2_cat_2 to K2_cat_2.csv or in your template set the Use file extension to CSV. Let me know how that goes.
Hello everyone. I recently installed CSVI and I'm trying to wrap my head around how it works. I managed to export a csv file with Virtuemart Export Product. When I edit that csv file and try to Import it back I get an the error message shown in the picture. I also attached the log file and the csv I'm trying to import. I don't know what could be the problem.
You can't embed images into an export file with CSVI as a CSV file is plain text. You would have to manually insert the images into the pricelist. The only other way I can think of is to export an HTML file and create an HTML output instead of a CSV output, in that case you would use the picture_url_thumb.
Is there a versión for CSV for joomla 1.5 and virtuemart 1.1.6 that i can download to import products, categories and then using the new version of csvi pro to export it to a joomla 3 and virtuemart 3.2.4 thanks in advance
Hi, I need solution about import multiple VM custom fields like following. Right now CSVI Pro 7.2.3 only import fist unique custom field but I need to import all custom fields like below. Please find attached csv file for more details. manual~manual~manual~catalog~firmware~firmware~firmware~firmware~firmware~leaflet~leaflet~Icon Image Issue we face now: At the time of CSV import: CSVI Pro 7.2.3 provide facility to import only unique custom filed at a time one. So if in import CSV there are following custom fields titles same as other fields like attached csv file. manual~manual~manual~catalog~firmware~firmware~firmware~firmware~firmware~leaflet~leaflet~Icon Image Total 12 custom fields Currently CSVI Pro 7.2.3 import only one manual, one catalog, one firmware, once leaflet and one Icon So instead of 12 custom fields this extension import only 5 custom fields which are unique. And I need solution for import all my VM 12 custom fields as I have given example. Looking forward to get solution asap. Thank You.
For some weird reason, I need to insert CR/LF into one of the import fields. I know that generally in CSV it's possible, and Excel will generate the CSV with the double quotes, but what if I have a custom delimiter, it should work without the double quotes then? Is it possible to process a multi-line field (article content) with CSVI?
Hi im trying to import csv file in to CSVI 5.18 pro, joomla 3.3.1 VM 2.9.8.

Hi, I am using Stockable Custom fields, Is this supported by CSVI? I am trying to do an import with no success on Custom Fields, If it is supported can I get the format for the CSV file. Thank you!
I have made a look at this tutorial – before and now. I have created a csv with the column names "category_path" and "published". In the import moment only "published" will be recognized. I can’t find a field "category_path" in CSVI.
Hello, You don't have to think about that, CSVI knows which fields are where. All you need to do is make sure the list of available fields are up-to-date. You can do this by going to Maintenance -> Available Fields -> Update. If you still don't see them, you may need to reset the tasks first by going to Maintenance -> Tasks -> Reset and confirm. If you don't see them now, you may have a corrupted database index. In that case, uninstall the VirtueMart addon, uninstall CSVI, remove all tables from your database that start with csvi_, install CSVI, install the VirtueMart addon and you should be fine.
Hello Alex, [quote]So I was wondering if I can break up my CSV file and run multiple imports from different computers or on the same one at the same time?[/quote]Yes that is possible as long as you keep child products in mind if you use them. There is no problem for CSVI, you just need to keep in mind how much the server can handle. If your concern is the speed, you could also make 2 imports where you have 1 where you import all product info [b]without[/b] the images and a separate one with the images. This way the main product info goes in quite a lot faster. You should keep an eye out for CSVI 6, this is quite a lot faster than CSVI 5. This has been tested against a 1 million record CSV file.
Hello, [quote]Its all very well the documentation saying …[/quote]Check the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/getting-started]Getting started page[/url], this has the links to the CSVI 6 information. This also has a link on how to create a template in CSVI 6. [quote]Where is the documentation for CSV Improved 3?[/quote]Changing all the documentation is a lot of work and is in progress. Just keep an eye on the Getting started page I linked earlier, this has the links to the CSVI 6 documentation. Let me know if you have any further questions.
'evening all, CSVI: 5.18 Virtuemart: 2.9.8.a Joomla: 3.3.3 PHP: 5.3.28 I've searched, prodded, poked, reset, reinstalled - and read - but please if I've missed a link somewhere please let me know. Two different bits: Importing categories.(book9.csv) I've read bits and pieces (including the category tut) to no avail - trying to see what I'm messing up. When I import the attached file without the category column - the products import fine. When I add the category_path or category_name the import fails with an error 1 Failure with the category Unsupported. CSV Export - product_export(3).csv The csv file attached is the result of exporting the default "Example Virtuemart Product Export" with export type set to CSV I was hoping to get the product list exported to see if helped answering my other issue. Quite simply CSVI remains a staple as far as any installs I do - keep up the great work! Thank you in advance
Hello, With your template and CSV file, import goes good when tested on my local site and with latest CSVI version. There should be something wrong with your latest update. Is this the only import you are having this issue?
I updated csvi to 6.5.3 Now I am having problems with import prices: Sometimes is added and sometimes is updated I've lost a day with this problem So I've attached 2 debug file: 1 when price is added and one when price is updated. The csv is the same and all products tested exists. When price is added I used this csv template: ^product_sku^~^product_price^~^product_currency^~^shopper_group_name^~^price_quantity_start^~^price_quantity_end^~^product_price_new^ ^8166810375355^~^5^~^EUR^~^COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPERGROUP_DEFAULT^~^0^~^0^~^5^ When price is updated this: ^product_sku^~^product_price^~^product_currency^~^shopper_group_name^~^price_quantity_start^~^price_quantity_end^~^product_price_new^ ^8010510398636^~^12^~^EUR^~^COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPERGROUP_DEFAULT^~^0^~^0^~^12^ Something changed after csvi update. I recreated avaible fields after csvi update, then I started testing I cannot understand why sometimes is added and sometimes is updated. Template is AGGIORNA PREZZI. Thanks
Hello! This is VirtueMart 3.0.16 on Joomla 3.5.1 and CSVI 5.21.2. I have a scheduled daily import of products, and I have been made a specific request: after product import, all empty categories should be unpublished. The only way I can think of is to do a "Category Import" with the "published" field set to 0, but that requires a bit of work (export all existing categories, compare with current product list, generate a new csv file for categories, import that csv). Before I spend time on it, I'd like to know if there is a better / quicker way do to it in CSVI Thank you and have a nice day!
Soo my problem is in my .csv i have category table and everthing like a pic but after I uploda it fo my virtualmart these are just gone like a pic. csvi 6.6.4 VM 3.x jommla 3.6.2
Hello, You can import both XML and CSV file using CSVI 6.5.2. Have a look at [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/804-import-virtuemart-products] importing products in Virtuemart using CSV file[/url] and [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/865-import-xml] Importing products in Virtuemart using XML file.[/url]
Hello, What kind of file did you upload? CSVI doesn't hanlde XLSX files, you need to save the file as either CSV or XLS. Large XLS files can cause memory issues, just so you are aware of that.
Hello, Taking a closer look at your file, the content do not seem to be valid CSV data. Text delimiter as per your file is comma(,) and i see that the content has a lot of delimiters with out text enclosures. This is the reason your file is not read properly. You can check your file using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyser[/url] to see the formatting issues.
we downloaded the newest version yesterday there is no functions for virtuemart please refer to the screenshots we saw the post about the plug-in download and that page on your site shows a 404 error ( You need to download and install the VirtueMart addon from the extension downloads .

Hello Lane, [quote]It's a bit frustrating having paid for a component that I can't get loaded.[/quote]I understand it is an unfortunate turn of circumstances. When you installed version 6.4.2. there were still old CSVI tables in your database and the installer had an issue updating them. This has been fixed in 6.4.3. You downloaded 6.4.2 a few weeks ago and in the meantime we released the fix. I guess you didn't get round to installing CSVI earlier, so if you would have downloaded CSVI just before installing, there wouldn't have been a problem. The best way forward now is to remove all the tables in your database that start with csvi_ and uninstall anything that is left from CSVI in Joomla (if there is any). After that you can install 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 as you please. Do not forget you also need to install the add-on for the extension you will use CSVI with. Let me know how it goes.

Hello, [quote]If I upload them to the default location will they be recognised by the location that I have on my csv file (/m/o/sku1.jpg) or will I have to change that?[/quote] If you upload the images to default location then you can just use image name sku1.jpg in file_url field. CSVI will read this image from default location and link them to the product. [quote]I have another question about the CSVI Cutter available for download. Can you please explain how this works? Do I install it to my website? How do I use it?[/quote] You can not install CSVI cutter in your website. You need to download the zip file, put it in a location you need and call the file in the browser. Have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/news/527-csvi-cutter]CSVI cutter[/url] documentation for more details.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I thought the "ids" somehow had to match because in the csv`s they supply refers to products, categories and manufacturers as "ids". --- What I mean is - is there a way to possibly adapt this to csvi? thanks again
Hello, I tried to use the stockable variants plugin using the same csv file of that tutorial https://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-documentation/tutorials/833-stockable-variants-import , but instead of showing up the child products on my parent i have only that text above the cart: http://spangraf-cp125.webjoomla.es/tienda/parent-product-detail What could be my problem? *I'm using VirtueMart 3.0.8 and CSVI Pro 6.4.3.

Hi. I upgraded to Joomla 3.5, CSV 6.5, VirtueMart 3.0.14 . Now allow me to import CSV file no product or price ... Everything works correctly , select template , upload .csv file , preview , import start ... But hangs on Star Import, without anything happening . I've tried several templates and multiple files, but it is no matter and no errors appear . The only inconsistency I see and can be, is that I upgraded to CSV 6.5, but the version " Pro 6.5.4 CSVI | Copyright ( C ) 2006-2016 RolandD Cyber Produksi " appears. Thanks Roland!
Hello, I can't export my virtuemart order and vm users I have this message in my generated csv : No data has been found for the selections made I use CSVI 7.6.2 and vm 3.2.14 Can you help me? Thanks
OK I have done this and it appears to be working. I have exported the CSV in Excel, created an import template however when I try to import I get this message: [b]File source is not set for the template. Please edit the template and set the source from Source tab [/b] I have attached the CSV that was created on export from CSVI.
Hello, I think you are having the same issue as I posted in [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/it/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=32584&start=6#45515]this thread[/url]. Your database is out of whack because of an older version. Easiest way is to uninstall CSVI, remove all tables from your database that start with csvi_ and then install CSVI again and the VirtueMart addon. That will give you a complete clean installation. The fields should be there for export as well after running the update of the available fields.
Hello Tharuna, I followed your instructions but i still don't get n export csv. The system tells me: Fout Helaas, er zijn geen velden gevonden voor deze template.

I try to update the vm slugs with csvi 6.3.0 and vm 3.0.10 The values in my csv file are ignored. I've found this old post: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/forum?view=topic&catid=24&id=31343 But this is also not working. I've deleted all existing slugs and tried again the import with csvi, but then the new slugs are only numbers like -1, -2, -3,... How can I update the product slugs? Best Regards, Maik
I've made some products child products and now I want to delete the categories attached to those products. When I add "category_delete" to my csv file and set it "y", the import log returns: Unsupported Failure These fields have been found but are not supported by CSVI: • category_delete I ran the field update but that didn't fix anything.

Hello Monica, [quote]1) Setting this thing up again I've forgotten how to run a rule that makes all words start with a capital letter. For example, "the brown cow" needs to read "The Brown Cow". I see cap first letter but not this option.[/quote] I have added a new option in Multi replace plugin for changing all words to start with a capital letter. Install the attached plugin file using Joomla Extension manager and in CSVI Rules page, create a new rule for CSVI Multi replace plugin with Operation set to [b]Uppercase words[/b]. Apply the rule on the field you need to change the value and run import/export. [quote]2) I can't recall how to run a comma buster rule that removes strips/every comma. IE, "It's a lovely, stunning, and beautiful day today, isn't it?" to output "It's a lovely stunning and beautiful day today isn't it?"[/quote] Using CSVI Multi replace rule plugin, select Operation as Find and Replace, in Find field set ,(comma) and leave Replace field to be empty. Method should be set to Regular text. Save the rule and apply it on the needed field. [quote]3) Finally, is there a way to make the .csv download a CSV (Comma delimited).csv not a CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited).csv file? The latter always fowls up the import into our shipping software whereas saving the file first as the former eliminates this.[/quote] By default the file exported is UTF-8 encoded. There is no setting in CSVI to change the encoding. You can use any software program to convert it to non UTF-8 file as needed. [attachment]plg_csvi_multireplace_2018_12_20.zip[/attachment]
Joomla Version: 3.4.5 CSVI Version: CSVI Pro 6.4.2 Virtuemart Version: 3.0.12 Hi There. This website has only just recently been updated from joomla 2.5 to 3.4.5. This old site had a version of CSVI Free and virtuemart which worked perfectly. After updating, I went through and updated everything else (virtuemart, csvi pro) but when I try to import the same csv file we used on the old site, it does not work. I've attached the csv file I'm trying to upload. Just for clarity sake, the csvi virtuemart addon is also installed (version 6.4.2) When I analyzed the file, all columns displayed correctly and it correctly gets the column headers. But when I'm going through the import process and get to the preview, only the columns "Description" and "Retail" are displayed. These are the template fields that I've set up: Product Sku = PartNo Product Name = Description Product Stock = OnHand Product Price = Retail If I continue through the import process and start the import, it seems like its processing the file but then I get this under statistics: Products Skipped 400 And then 400 lines of this under log: 1 Skipped Notice Missing required fields Log file attached. POSSIBLY NOT RELATED: When I try to go to CSVI Pro maintenance page and select VirtueMart, I get an internal server error. I can access every other page fine though... Any help is appreciated thank you!
Hello Roland, I just started with CSVI Pro 6.0 beta6 and trying to make an export of orders in Hikashop. I think I have to make a template, but what is the next step? I can not find how to tell CSVI which tables I want to use, can not find a button 'add fields' or something. Is there any video available which shows a 'how to start with exporting something from Joomla to csv?' (for this version of CSVI) Or do I has to start with version 5? best regards, Nico update: I found a way to add database fields. But a video would help and save some time.
Hello, From what i understand is that the data in product_desc has been skipped because your import file is not UTF-8 encoded. You can run your file in [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyzer[/url] and check for unreadable characters. And when you open and save your file with openoffice the file should have been encoded properly and so you don't see any issue in import. Check [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save a CSV file as UTF-8[/url] document which explains this. Can you post your import file to check?
Hello Roland, i still can't manage to get the CSV outcome in a row (colums). I going to look for a other solution. Woud you bee so kind to refund the subscribtion fee. I remove CSVI from the server. Kind regards, Marcel
Hello, I need import users from a web with Joomla 2.5.28, VM 2.6.12 and CSVI 4.5.4 to new web with Joomla 3.5.1, VM 3.0.6 and CSVI Pro 6.5.5. When I analize the CSV file to import it is Ok. When I previsualize the CSV file in a import proces I see it ok. But when I try to do the import the result is: Failure. Debug message: COM_CSVI_NO_USERGROUP_FOUND. In a CSV file exist a field with the named: "usergroup_name" but not "usergroup". I try again after renamed "usergroup_name" to "usergroup" in a CSV filed but no runs. I don't know how I can addition this file because the origen is a Virtuemart users and this field not exist in this table. The field usergroup belongs to Joomla user groups. I don't know how combine files from Joomla User Groups and Virtuemart Users in a same template. The structure of CSV flie is that: ^address_1^~^address_type^~^address_type_name^~^city^~^customer_number^~^email^~^first_name^~^last_name^~^middle_name^~^name^~^params^~^password^~^perms^~^phone_1^~^shopper_group_name^~^usergroup_name^~^username^~^zip^ Excuse my English.
Hi RolandD Just FYI, I have just implemented a simple PhpSpreadsheet function into my other project. https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ The code is maintained, works very well. Converting an existing CSV to XLS,XLSX, ODS (even maybe HTML/PDF) is very simple: https://www.codediesel.com/php/convert-csv-to-excel-format-in-php/ I'd love this feature in CSVI :)
Hi, If I go to CSVI maintenance->maintenance, and there select either CSVI Pro or VirtueMart at first dropdown, all I will get is another dropdown with same selections and another greyed out - dropdown (see the image). Joomla is 3.4.5 CSVI PRo is 6.4.1 PHP version is 5.5 with Zend enabled So how to make it work correctly? I believe this has been answered before here, but after few searches I have not found one. I had there older CSV 5.21.2 but before installing the CSVI Pro 6.4.1 I unsinstalled the older one, also made sure from FTP and phpMyAdmin that all folders and database tables had been deleted. Installation of the new one did not give any errors. Only package installed beside com - package was virtuemart add-on.
Hello Tharuna, the following error comes when installing the pkg_csvi_7.1.0_pro.zip: CSVI cannot be installed because your database setup is corrupt. Something is wrong with your csvi_settings table. I have tried to read the old configuration from this table but both the new as the old database field do not exist. The suggestion is to uninstall CSVI and remove all tables that start with csvi_ from your database. Now that the database has been cleaned, you can do a clean installation. Uninstall before doesn't help too! Kind regards, Teresa
Hello Manuel, As per the CSV standard you can use the comma as field separator and the double quote as text enclosure. You will get a valid CSV file export in that case. To get rid of the HTML tags, the article you linked is still valid but the steps are a little different. I have updated the document to reflect the CSVI 7 steps. Let me know if that helps.
Hello, I have to accomplish with CSVI pro tags made with the plugin VM I tried to create a template like this: Action: Import Component: Virtuemart Operation: Custom fields because I checked with Maintenance> Available Fields availability of the fields that I would use for importing csv with this file: product_sku plugin_name custom_element custom_title custom_value field_type Prova-csvi-A Tags Tags parola E How can I import the tags as if I created them manually directly from VM? Thanks
Hi, I just downloaded the CSVI Pro V5.21.2 and updating the Custom fields worked 1st try! I can't believe I spent all this time trying to make it work when all I needed was an update! :) Anyway, I still have 1 more question. Inside my CSV file i have the Custom-field values placed in the order I want but when I run the CSVI it puts the Custom Fields Values in a mixed order (see attached screenshots)
Hello, Using CSVI Pro 7.10.0 on Joomla 3.9.1. When importing users I have this error message: An error has occurred during the import. Below the information received from the server.

Halloo... I have CSVI Pro 6.1.1 for joomla 3... I want to move all my products from an old Virtuemart webstore (joomla 2.5.7 with CSVI version 4.4 installed) to a new Joomla (V 3.4.3) webstore with Virtuemart (v 3.0.9) and SCVI (V 6.1.1) installed... When i try to import the products from Excell csv file i am geting this error message in red colored font .... [b]No supported fields have been found in the import file[/b]...... do you have an idea the reason that i geting this error??? To be more specific the fields i am exporting from CSVI 4.4 are the following list (using Quick Add from fields tab): basepricewithtax category_id category_path created_by created_on custom customtitle custom_param custom_price custom_shipping custom_title custom_value discountamount discountedpricewithouttax file_url file_url_thumb hits intnotes layout locked_by locked_on low_stock_notification manufacturer_name max_order_level metaauthor metadesc metakey metarobot min_order_level modified_by modified_on override picture_url pordering pricebeforetax pricewithouttax product_availability product_available_date product_box product_currency product_desc product_height product_in_stock product_length product_lwh_uom product_name product_ordered product_override_price product_packaging product_params product_parent_id product_parent_sku product_price product_sales product_sku product_special product_s_desc product_unit product_url product_weight product_weight_uom product_width published related_products salesprice shopper_group_name slug taxamount virtuemart_product_id virtuemart_vendor_id Thanks very much...
Hi, the logic I get it, but I can not achieve it with CSVI! After creating the product Try-A-CSVI successfully I would assign the first group of customers "avalilable for all" to Anonymous. First solution: Assign the first group shopper_group_name, but as you can see from the screenshot, the group has not changed! [attachment]shopper_group.jpg[/attachment] Csv code is as follows: product_sku shopper_group_name product_price product_currency product_tax_id product_discount_id Prova-csvi-A '-anonymous'- 5.5 EUR 4 -1 Second solution: change the assignment of the first group, using shopper_group_name with shopper_group_name_new. For the second value I know what to use, but for the first VM what assigns to "avalilable for all"? Thank you
it's never download...not even if I try again. Not even if I try in firefox or chrome. my folder are status writable...but in FTP I have nothing in /tmp/com_csvi/export...

Hello Sandra, CSVI exports data in three formats, CSV, XML and HTML. If you need to use Excel 2013, you may need to do some local settings to see the exported CSV file. I read this somewhere, not sure if it works but worth trying Open Blank Workbook. Go to DATA tab. Click button From Text in the General External Data section. Select your CSV file. Follow the Text Import Wizard. (in step 2, select the delimiter of your text)
If I remove the primary key from the CSV source file...then I have no key to address the record after it is imported. The Primary key is the member account number, unique to each member. I can't add records without it otherwise its useless. Besides, removing a column from a CSV text file would be impossible...unless we manually download, edit the file, and submit it for importation--which defeats the purpose of automating the import. It appears that CSVI does not do a a typical record import--update existing records based on key match/add new records that don't exist in the destination table with that key. What am I missing here? So the only way to use CSVI for custom tables is to first purge the destination table of all of its records so that all data in the source CSV file are imported (added)
Thanks tharuna, now the import of a new user in joomla and virtuemart works fine but i've another problem. I'm tryng to update the same user, for example, to change to address. I'm importing the same csv with only different address, it seems works without errors, but it do not update the database of virtuemart. How is the best way to update user fileds for an existing user ? Im running csvi 6.4.3 on joomla 3.4.5 and vm 3.0.12 with csvi pro and virtuemart plugin
Hello Pas, [quote]This shows the url of the thumbs, but how can I make this visible as the real image.[/quote] That is not possible with CSVI export and with CSV file. CSVI don't support Excel export. [quote]Guess it's more a excel/office issue but maybe you know how to make this work. [/quote] Yes it is Excel thing and needs code to be written using Visual basic for Application(VBA). I don't know how to write codes with Excel to help here.
Hello Andy, Are you saying that the images are stored in the folder and not saved in database? If that is the case then CSVI cannot export images from folders to a CSV file but can export data from database tables. Let me know if i understood you correct.

I need to use the csvi but when i install to Joomla 3.4 it won't show on template creation selection component virtuemart and i have to select CSVI component and custom field. I spend a lot time trying to import my csv file trying to use the custom fields but with no luck. I tried to install the previous version 5.21.2 (supported in php 5.3) but it won't install to joomla 3.4. I could really use some help here. Thank you in advance

Hello, If you are seeing the untranslated string, it can mean two things. Either the installation went wrong or you are using a language which doesn't have it translated. Just to be clear, the installation should be CSVI Pro first and then the HikaShop addon plugin. This should have all the info for you. After that you can follow the steps in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url] document to make sure everything is up-to-date. In case that doesn't help either, a full clean install is recommended by removing all tables from the database starting with csvi_ and then uninstall CSVI and any addons. After that install CSVI and the HikaShop addon plugin and run the updates as explained in the missing fields document, just to be sure everything is up-to-date. If you still have issues, check if there are any Javascript issues, perhaps a plugin is interfering with CSVI. Won't be the first time that has happened. The first two results on [url=https://csvimproved.com/search?q=analyze&Search=]this search page[/url] will explain how to use Firebug or Developer tools to get an idea of what may be going on.
Hello Wolfram, [quote]Thanks, but do i set that in CSV or MAMP?[/quote]That is in CSVI, edit your export template and there will be a tab called File where you can set these values. [quote]I bought the Tool because I thought it would help quicken things up[/quote]It will save time but CSVI can't fix servers ;) Did you ever ask your hoster about why the server kills CSVI? I don't mind taking a look at the backend but I don't see what I can do. The reason I ask for using the limit on the number of exported products, if that works, you could export the products in batches.
Hello Jan Willem, There is no update in this regard as you have a very specific request. There are no plans either to add this kind of support. You will probably need a script that turns the XML into the needed format for CSV/XML where the data can be read by CSVI.
Hello, The error shows that the headers of your csv file dont seem to match with the database fields. To avoid this error, you need to add equivalent template fields to your template and in the same order as column headers in your csv file. You then need to set Use file for configuration to No in your template settings and on File tab. This settings will not use the column headers from your csv file but use template fields and import the data in the same order as in your csv file. If you still have issues, post the sample of your import file, debug log and your template XML. To know how to get the debug log check [b]Where to get the debug information?[/b] section on top of this page. To get template XML file go to CSVI maintenance page, Select CSVI Pro on first option and Backup template on second option. Select your template and click continue. Download the XML file and post it.
Hello, I installed CSVI Pro to export the list of joomla users and all customers of a virtuemart store. However, when I launch the export I only have 3 clients saved in CSV when I have more than 200. How should I do it ? Regards
Hi! I managed to setup a template and did several successful test imports before running into this problem. I removed a column from the template and the csv (product price) and removed the product from VM list. Product SKU is the same. Suddently when i try an import it says "Success" and "Product updated" but no new product is added to the list in VM product browser. Maybe CSVI updates the trashed product? But how do i find out? Joomla 3.6.2 VM 3.0.18 CSVI Pro 6.6.4 thanks
I made good progress. Now the fields are displayed. I think that it was a matter of rights on subfolders. I can now see the fields for K2 (items, categories, custom_fields). However, when I import my test file I still have 0 records imported. Here is what I see. apparently the fields mapping is not recognized: Log details Type Item import Filename catalog_export_20141016_102450.csv Records processed: 0 Cancelled No Debug log No debug log found Statistics 1 Notice Information 1 Failure Unsupported Filter: Results 1 - 2 of 2 Line Action Result Message 0 Unsupported Failure These fields have been found but are not supported by CSVI: Nexway Product ID product_name Big image Short description 0 Information Notice There are unsupported fields Here is my mapping settings. I create the import template from the filed_mapper list button. I strictly followed the method described here : http://www.csvimproved.com/frequently-asked-questions/915-csvi-field-mapper [attachment]csvi6.jpg[/attachment]
Hi, I can confirm your patch works with the following and thank goodness as my entire business is based on Google Sheets and importing csv files! Joomla 3.8.3 CSVI Pro 7.4.1 VM 3.2.12 Will the next version work with Google Sheets or will it require a patch? Jamie
I am getting these errors when updating to new version 7.2.0 CSVI cannot be installed because your database setup is corrupt. Something is wrong with your csvi_settings table. I have tried to read the old configuration from this table but both the new as the old database field do not exist. The suggestion is to uninstall CSVI and remove all tables that start with csvi_ from your database. Now that the database has been cleaned, you can do a clean installation. I tried 3 times already.

Using CSVi 6 RC1 I cant delete logs. Have tried deleting a single log & deleting all logs. I get a pop up asking - Am i sure I want to delete logs, then clicking on OK doesn't do anything. I have this same issue on 2 separate sites, currently using/testing CSVi6
J 3.4.1 VirtueMart 3.0.9 CSVI Pro Is it possible to use the combine fields also for Virtuemart product import, for the related products? I am trying to add some related products to existing ones. So in my csv I have 3 columns - sku, related products, more related products and I try to combine column 2 + 3, but with no success. I followed this tutorial: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/csvi-documentation/tutorials/csvi-5/873-combine-multiple-fields-into-one Maybe it's not possible for related products import? And could you please tell me where to find the combine plugin mentionend on this page: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/1067-combine-plugin Thanks, Anja
Hi, I didn't find any tutorials about importing/exporting Hikashop items by CSVI Pro, it's not even listed as supported extension, however I can see [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-0-rc-1]here[/url] an addon so I'm posting few questions. First of all - is Hikashop fully supported by CSVI Pro 6? In Hikashop Business edition there's a possibility to create many different product custom fields like checkboxes, multiple select, single select etc. Are all of them supported in CSVI Pro 6? Can you provide some example how to import product with checkbox custom field (for other custom field types too) - how does an inside-cell value delimiter look like? I mean in my csv file: [code type="markup"]some_checkbox_cf;some_multiple_select_cf 1|0;val1|val2|val3[/code] or something similar? Can I update products using product_id field, like in Virtueamart 3 import: virtuemart_product_id? Best regards, Chris
Hi, I have recently very recently subscribed to CSVI Pro, read the tutorials, checked the troubleshooting, but I keep ending with the same result: During export (virtuemart, product export) only one line/item is being downloaded. [attachment]com_csvi.log.66.zip[/attachment] [attachment]CSVI_Example VirtueMart Product Export_17-07-2019_20.38.csv[/attachment] I have attached both the debug file and the downloaded csv.

HI, thx for answering. I'm using Joomla 3.4.8 to export, with CSVI 6.6.4. The settings for export are like this: https://gyazo.com/9c24d2a7476f8187ea5d721105ad42a3 I've changed the text enclosure to ". Altough I'm getting no .csv-file (I change the file to .csv manually). I Have added the file I got and also the log. When I'm trying to import it is looking like this: https://gyazo.com/75be2712331dafcff0ac69503042feb3 Hope to get a solution. Thx!
Here is my question guys! Using Joomla 3, VirtueMart 3, CSVI Pro 6.5.2 with a csv file containing 3 columns, almost 2,000 product records. What steps would you take to import those into Virtuemart so I don't have to add each individual product record?
Hello i can`t import custom field products whit csvi pro 5, i dont now what fields to use in my csv or what are the correct steps. I tried with customforallfields but i didnt find the plugin in the link that you put in the tutorial Thanks
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to import orders into HikaShop. I've attached a sample csv file with the basic info I'd like to import, but I can't seem to select the fields I need. I've used CSVI before with J1.5 but this had pre-loaded templates.
Hello, You can do item import for an order by selecting operation as orderitem in your CSVI template. You can add virtuemart_order_id as a field in your import CSV file so the order and order item gets related. Multiple order items for an order can also be imported.
Hi all, I'm new user to CSVI and I think it is what I need. However the thing that I would like to achieve is not yet working as expected. I'm able to import one single content into the desired category but what I really need is the possibility to import multiple. I can see from the logs that 202 records are processed. Also the CSV Analyzer is showing 3 records correctly. But only the 1st one is written to the database. Joomla 3.3 CSVI Pro 5.17 [attachment]import_statements.csv[/attachment]
don't take into account my previous message. Everything is ok but i can't assign the products on a specified category. To be more specific i write in the csv category_id 22 lets say and during the csvi pro import process in the preview step the category_id field it doesn't apper.
Hi RolandD CSVI Pro 5.2 in Joomla 3.3.6 (Virtuemart 3.0.2) PHP 5.4.32. I made my template for export VM orders. Now i like to have in my CSV File the custom files. How i do it? I have add the product_attribute field; now i have this warning in the CSV File: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ../../../administrator/components/com_csvi/models/com_virtuemart/export/orderexport.php on line 597
Hi, I have worked with csvi pro for many years but now I have the following problem. When uploading through csv I see the path to the image is wrong. It takes the path in the template (images/stories/virtuemart/products) and takes the csv file_url path and put them as one link so it becommes: images/stories/virtuemart/product/IMAGE/FOTOS/picture.jpg When I place the folder with pics into images/stories/virtuemart/products/ IMAGES/FOTOS It will store the product image link correctly but does not process the image to images/stories/virtuemart/product/ and /rezise In my template I have enabled the "process image" I have the latest version with all the proper plugins csvi pro 6.6.4 / joomla 3.6 Please advise.
Hello Rosalie, To use CSVI price import there are few fields which are required and based on these CSVI will insert or update a product price. You CSV file don't have those required fields and so no update has happened. Have a look at the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/909-product-price-import]Virtuemart product price import [/url]document to know the fields you are missing. Also, i see that you have two fields product_sku and product_tax_id in your CSV file, generally price template is used when multiple prices for a single product needs to be inserted or updated. Since that is not your case, i think you can use Virtuemart product import template instead of price template.
Hello, [quote]Thank you for your reply. When I exported the required fields I realised that most products did not have aliases as they had been imported using J2Store's Simple CSV Import without an alias filed as I thought they would be created automatically in Joomla as is normally done when you enter an article manually.[/quote] Not sure how J2Store simple CSV import works but with CSVI J2Store product import if there is no alias field it is populated automatically. [quote]I realised that the simple answer was to make the aliases the same as the sku for all the books (sku = isbn for books). This seems quite appropriate for the books which are the only products involved in this import. I created an import file to do this and imported it using J2Store's simple csv app. This then enabled me to use CSVI to export the required alias and category_path fields, add the 3 new fields by matching the alias field to the sku and then import it back. Job done! [/quote] Glad to know that all works for you now. Would appreciate if you can give us a review on [url=https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/migration-a-conversion/data-import-a-export/csvi-pro/]Joomla Extension Directory[/url] :)
I'm having two issues with exporting orders. 1. The Custom Field is not exporting properly. I have a custom field called UOM (Unit of Measure). Type = String, Values= EA;CS;PK;2PK;3PK. When I export an order with Advanced Order Export the custom field shows as "UOM - ". 2. The address, city, state and zip code to not export at all. They are always blank. This has been an ongoing issue from day one of installing CSVI Pro. CSVI Pro: 7.10.0 CSV addon for Virtuemart: 7.10.0
Hello John, [quote]Am I right in thinking that this means that the CSV import will process the images if necessary, but they need to be uploaded first (either via the media manager or via FTP)?[/quote]Correct. If the image doesn't exist on the server, CSVI can't do anything with it. There is one more option in CSVI that allows you to pull images from a remote server and save it in your own site. In that case the file_url field has to be an http:// url. This is the Save images on server option.
Hello, I have an issue with importing products with stockable variants issue. My CSV file seems to be created as in your tutorial but after import child products are not binded to parent correctly. There is 33 child products but in parent product there is only one: Villaport Type 1. Also Rozmiar and Kolor (Size and Color) fields are empty. I enclose CSVI log, parent product screen and my csv file. Thanks Tomasz.
Hi i have a problem with csvi I am trying to export a csv file & all i get is a empty csv file. I also get an empty file if i try to download log. I copy pasted it in a txt file. I also get allot of problems with option in the maintenance tab and some Internal Server error. My joomla version is 3.4.3 Php is 5.5 Directory's permissions are ok
I like CSVI a lot but the lack of XLS/XLSX as export format can be a huge disadvantage sometimes. I use LibreOffice which can handle CSV files very well, but Microsoft Excel works terrible with them. Of course I can use import function but some customers can't understand why and and how it works. They only want to open the downloaded file with a simple double click, and usually they get the whole data in a single column no matter what I set up. I used PHPExcel for this task with my custom scripts. With that converting CSV to XLSX is just a few lines and can be done as a last step, after I created the CSV. As far as I can see it's deprecated now, but I'm sure there are a pretty good tools for the job like PhpSpreadsheet etc. I'm not sure about the license of them but could you please consider extending the funcionality of CSVI with that?
Hello, I have been using your component to export my Virtuemart orders to CSV file. Last week I upgraded some components and now I get many empty fields. I am using these versions now: Joomla! 3.8.1 VirtueMart 3.2.4 CSVI Pro 7.3.0 I do attach CSV result and debug log; as you can see many fields are empty as virtuemart buyer first name and last name. Thank you, Jacobo
These custom fields come from VirtueMart, they are not in the template. CSVI reads them directly from the database upon import. There shouldn't be a need to delete them since they don't match the fields in your CSV file. At least these two. There is at least 1 custom field that matches a name used by the import routine, this does not have to be a name in the CSV file. That is why I wonder which custom fields you have.
The export is own development. It's working fine. I use only CSVI import template. Cron.php import my export.csv. How can I tell cron.php that working parts of big csv like JS? Sorry for my English :) cron.php read 100 rows and than read other 100 rows etc.
by "CSVI Import Plugin" I meant this one: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-import-plugin/csvi-import-plugin-1-0 not CSVI Pro component :)
I can confirm, I did it again like that. Uninstall CSVI Reinstall V 5.19 Update available fields Create test field mapping set name, CSV, K2, import, Save => I see the list of fields (wrong order) Load K2 patch (patch_k2_20141028) Reset Create test field mapping set name, CSV, K2, import, Save => I see the list of fields (wrong order) Load map order patch (patch_map_20141030) Reset Create test field mapping set name, CSV, K2, import, Save => the list of available fields is empty
Are you running CSVI 5 or CSVI 6? The patch is for CSVI 6 actually.
@ Tharuna Thanks for your reply No i want cls and csv formate virtue-mart product export not in xml. I have checked with your given process like Go to CSVI maintenance menu, select CSVI Pro in the first option, Backup templates in the second option. Select your export template and click on continue. Your template will be stored on your server in the form of an XML file. but it is not working after this process one xml path display. i attached screen-shot please check and solve my problem.
Hello, I`m getting error 200, it seems that mi CSV file has references to image files that does not exist. Is it possible that the scrip siply skip this images when they don`t exist? What can I do. Joomla 3.4, Virtuemart 3 CSVI 6.4 everything updated. Regards
I have discovered the problem. When CSVI exports, it creates the CSV in alphabetical order but on the title or alias field when it should be using the category_path. This would not be a problem if all the categories were at one level but will cause problems if (like me) you have hierachical category structure.
Hello, [quote]Now i have managed to import using the same way and file but unfortunately i have no success. Please tell me if you can how the csv should look like using the child products.[/quote] Can you tell us which version of VM, CSVI and Joomla you are using now? However you can have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/833-stockable-variants-import]Stockable custom fields[/url] document for CSVI which explain the use stockable custom field for VM3.
Hello, It looks like you have updated only CSVI component and CSVI VirtueMart addon to 7.4.1 version. All other extensions are of 7.2.3 version. You need to download the complete CSVI Package from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro/csvi-pro-7-4-1]CSVI Downloads[/url] page and run the update.
Hello Tony, [quote]CSVI Pro Administrator Component 7.5.1 27 March 2018 CSVI Pro Site Package 7.4.1 18 January 2018[/quote] Your CSVI extension package is still not updated. It shows 7.4.1 version.

Hi Roland, we are using CSVI Pro 6.5.4 and Custom Fields for All by breakdesign. We made all steps for creating a custom field with type plugin and we have prepared a table for CSVI import (attached) following your documentation. But we have one major problem: If values in Custom Field that we made in "Additional Parameters" are not previously set, when we import the csv file, products do not take the value for the field. And my question is, because we have 1000 values for this field (Lumens Range) - how we can set them first in Custom Fields addition parameters, before executing the import with CSVI? I can not put them by hand, is there another way? Best regards, Hrissy
[quote]The export runs at 7:22am on 2016-12-05 (UTC+8) which for CSVI is 11:22pm on 2016-12-04 (UTC). CSVI exports all orders with a date of 2016-12-03 (UTC date minus 1 day).[/quote] No, CSVI will filter using 2016-12-04 as it directly ran a query through our database server which is using UTC+8 thus it'll be 2016-12-05 - 1 day = 2016-12-04. 2016-12-04 is really UTC+8 but it is used together with UTC dates (Joomla, VirtueMart, etc.) which causes the issue. [quote]At 7:22am on 2016-12-05 (UTC+8) you can never export all the orders of 2016-12-04 UTC since that day hasn't finished yet, it still has 38 minutes to go.[/quote] The remaining minutes of the day left doesn't matter as it's logical that there will be orders happening after the CSV has been exported. The issue is that the affected orders doesn't even show in future CSV exports.

You can try [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]updating your available fields[/url] if you are not seeing any fields.
I also have cherry picker, fastseller, installed on J3.x vm3 and am trying to get product types to work. I don't see any place to get CSVI6 to try it out. In the end though I want to automate the import of products and product types through a cron job as the data will be automatically created for CSVI to process.
Hello Jan, The problem is in the CSV file. The first line has a semi-colon as field separator but line 2 and further has a comma as field separator. This makes CSVI believe there is no value for the category_path. Things go south from there. Fix the separator and you should be good to go.
Hello Eddie, There has been a big change with code from CSVI 5 version to CSVI 6 version and then extended to CSVI 7. The way rules are stored in old CSVI 5 version is completely different from what it is now in CSVI 7. I guess you may need to input them all in new CSVI version.
Apologies Rolandd, i'm having some network issues. Please find the information below: Joomla 3.4.5 Virtuemart 3.0.11.4 CSVI Pro - 6.4.2 I have attached the debug log and csv file (this is the 3rd time) Lol!! Best Regards Donna Edit: I cannot get the log file to compress lower than 1mb.
Hello Phil, [quote]I thought were the right fields to create the values for and yet I'm not seeing them in the installation when I try to map them[/quote]You are doing very well, when I look at the CSV file you have posted, it looks good. So you are definitely on the right track. It sounds like you are missing fields. Did you (or the owner) already install the CSVI VirtueMart add-on? If not, you can download them from Downloads -> CSVI Pro Extensions. If you have already done that or after you have done that please follow these steps in the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing Fields in CSVI[/url]. That should give you all the fields you need. Since your CSV file looks good I think you can create a template easier. Go to Templates -> Templates and click New. Fill out the details on the first page where action is Import, Component is VirtueMart and Operation is Product. Save the template (not Save & Close). Go to the Images tab and check that everything is set correct there. You need to set Save images on server to Yes. Save the template and start the import. That should get you going I think.
Hello RolandD, is csvi import plugin (http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-import-plugin/csvi-import-plugin-1-0 ) working with new CSVI Pro 6? If not, how can I fire some code after import in CSVI Pro 6? Best regards, Chris
Hello, [quote]Thanks for finding the cause. Rather than going into the database to edit the tables, is there a field/value we can add to the import csv file and template to fix this? Or is this something that will be fixed or patched in CSVI Pro?[/quote] The fix for solving the duplicated issue in CSVI pro for virtuemart related products is coming with our next release CSVI Pro 6.5.0. This fix is based on the change in core virtuemart related products entry. [quote]If editing the db tables is the only fix, is it something that only has to be done once?[/quote] As i said in my previous post, it was the problem with core Virtuemart inserts in your case, unless the core values are altered intentionally there is no requirement of fixing it again.
http://huntermotorcycles.com.au/administrator/index.php?option=com_csvi&task=process.finished&run_id=1415602413 CSVI Pro 5.12 Joomla 3.3.3 VM2 I've tried to import products and just can't seem to get it to work. I figured it was a fault with my .csv file so I downloaded the Hammer example and can't even import that.
Hello, I need to import a CSV file, it contains 11 fields, among them product_sku, product_in_stock and published, but this fields are missing from Available Fields - Virtuemart - Products I had followed what you stated in this link but still not working. https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi Please check the attached image and I only get 53 available fields for products, an they should be more than 70 My site runs Joomla 3, Virtuemart 3 and CSVI pro + VM plugin all of them the latest versions. Please help with this.
Hello, As i figured this field has nothing to do with the import of your CSV file attached in your post. The processed data with this import is in the attached image and CSVI is not responsible for the rest of the fields. You can try running the same import on a clean site and check. [attachment]imageimport.png[/attachment]
Hello, Thanks. Finally I can do it. I changed the field name in old CSVI: "usertype" to "usergroup_name". Now I have a doubt. If it's possible import the orders from CSVI old (Joomla 1.5.26) to export to Joomla 3 & VM 3, I wish do it. But if this process is risky, maybe is better no import the orders. I know then I will lost the statistics, but... I read a tutorial with information about the process to import export the orders, but I adjoint a image with some questions because the field names have changed beetween old web and new web. I think the fields in CSVI from Jommla 1.5.26 & VM 1.9.9 "order_item_currency" and "order_item_id" are not necessary and they are not equivalent to any CSVI6 fields. Please, see the image to understand better. Excese my English. Thanks and Kind regards!
Hello Tharuna. Τhank you very much for your reply. I installed a new Joomla and only csvi 7.6.1 (test localhost) to see what is finally going on. As you can see i have a new error message: Status error: 200 Status message: OK Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\administrator\components\com_csvi\rantai\import\model.php on line 628 After that i can't test my csv to this test site. Regards Terry_K Joomla!, 3.8.7 CSVI Pro 7.6.1 PHP/7.2.4
Hello Jens, You will need to update the Available Fields in CSVI, so it can find your custom field. If this is a regular custom field you can simply include it in your CSV file as an extra column and fill it as needed for each product. You can even leave it out of the CSV file and add the field to the end of your field list in the template with a default value and it will be applied to every product imported.
Hello, You can't update CSVI 5 to CSVI 6. CSVI 6 has to be a clean installation. So you will need to remove your old installation completely before installing CSVI 6.
Hi :P, 1. When I import a csv with only [i]category_path[/i] and [i]category_description[/i] it somehow changes the order of cateogries in VM. Could I set it somehow to "not change" the ordering in VM? 2. Is it possible to rename category names with csvi? Thank you for great soft and support!! :)
Hi, I have put together a csv file of products to import which works perfectly except for 2 products. When I upload the csv file the top 2 prod_desc fields don't read in however all the others do. And they are exactly the same format! I am extremely lost as to why?? Please could you help! I am running Virtuemart 3.0.9 and CSVI Pro 6.1.1 I have attached the debug log and the file that I'm uploading..
Hello Using CSVI Pro 6.5.7 with Joomla! 3.5.1 and I am trying to import child products. Am able to do so, but am unable to define the ordering for each child products. Please let me know which field to be used for ordering child product? Please See attached CSV Thank You
Good evening guys, Im having a problem overriding existing manufacturer in Product. Im using manufacturer_name and I want to update currently manufacturer, but when im inserting .csv file, it just add's new manufacturer and it dosen't replace the old one. Anyone can help? (PHP: 5.6 with Joomla 3.4.8 (CSVI Pro 6.5.0))
Hello i'm using Joomla 3.4.8 - CSVI pro 6.5 and virtuemart 3.0.9 after the import of my CSV image file i have many errors and i have that message when i click on a virtuemart products more details links... Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.
Hello, [quote]Where i can find file icecat_index?[/quote]This is the file that is downloaded from ICEcat. CSVI downloads the zipped file and then unpacks it. In the folder tmp/com_csvi you will find a file called icecat_index.gzip. If you unpack that file you get the [b]icecat_index[/b] file (no extension). This is the file CSVI needs to import. The size of this file is around 123MB. [quote]with wich exstension (csv, xml or..)?[/quote]The file has no extension. [quote]Is it necessary full icecat profile?[/quote]No need, it is the same file just bigger.
[quote]How does the CSVI map CSV columns to import fields?[/quote]Can be one of two ways, or the column headers in your file are used [b]if[/b] they are the names of the CSVI fields or the fields assigned to the template. The fields assigned to the template must be in the exact same order as the columns in your file. [quote]I had thought I set "Use file for configuration" to true and then use the column titles in the first line as the "your field" reference in the fields.[/quote]When using the "Use file for configuration" the fields are not used unless you have set the option Extra fields to Yes That is for importing fields that are not part of your import file. The Your Field reference is not used for CSV import but only for the rule plugins.
Hello Roland, I have the same need as one year ago: exporting Hikashop data: email of customer, name of bought product, date. Hikashop uses different tables for all of this. Is the a solution coming for Hikashop in CSVI? Or do I have different exports and merge the CSV-tables in a spreadsheet? regards, Nico
Hi Roland, I deleted/drop all tables that started with CSVI_ & double checked. Deleted com_csvi from components & admin folder & also deleted csvirules folder from plugins. Upon trying to reinstall CSVI6.obeta5 I get another error; [b] 511 COM_CSVI_ADDON_MAINTENANCE_NOT_FOUND[/b] Looking in the database, I see all the tables have been installed, component & admin folder have returned, etc so looks like it its getting most of the way? Also If I try to install again straight after, I get this error; [b]Table 'w3094_csvi_availablefields' already exists SQL=RENAME TABLE `w3094_csvi_available_fields` TO `w3094_csvi_availablefields`;[/b] I tried deleting all CSVI folder, database tables & tried again, with the same results. Has anyone else had this issue, I have & do you have any advice for me? Thanks Andy
Hello, [quote]I must edit the CSV and add a new field before i can use the copy plugin?[/quote]No, don't edit the CSV file. Just add the product_s_desc field to the list of the Template fields. So for example your CSV file has 10 fields and the Template fields has 11 fields. CSVI will match the first 10 fields from your CSV to the fields in the Template fields and the last field will be imported as-is. You can add a default value here or fill it with the copy plugin etc. The published field is often used like that as well. You can have as many extra fields as needed.
I've been using csv improved for years, and mainly to import/export joomla users and virtuemart customers / orders / products. Now, I've switched to Hikashop. I've just downloaded the latest csvi pro and tried to configure my export templates. Now, joomla users is no problem and exports my excisting users. The hika shop customers won't export data, only an empty csv file with al the column name and "No data has been found for the selections made" But, there's no "selections made", it should export all my excisting customers. The webshop is still in test-fase and I have about 5 test customers. I can't figure out why Joomla user export is working and Hikashop customer export not. Is there a tutorial? regards Suzanne Joomla 3.4.5 CSVI Pro 6.3.0 PHP 5.5.23
Hello, [quote]NOT ALL CUSTOM FIELDS ARE AVAILABLE TO SELECT[/quote] Did you run the Update on the Available fields page? That is needed so CSVI knows there are new custom fields. As for your issue with moving into a new field, I can see that happen as well. What you can do for now is save the file as UTF-8 CSV file as explained in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save a CSV file as UTF-8[/url] document. Your import should be fine with that file.
So, there is no more issue with the sql. But I must be a silly boy ! I want to export the order. So I select the OrdersExport template, I selected my fields, I clicked on Process, an .csv file is download but there is nothing inside ! Is there a tutorial or manuel explaining how to use CSVI, please ? Thanks
Did you do an update from an earlier CSVI version? Go to the About page in CSVI and click on the Fix database button to see if that solves your problem. If none of that works you can delete the CSVI tables by going to Maintenance and select CSVI Pro from the first dropdown and then select Delete CSVI tables from the second dropdown. After that click Continue and this will remove all CSVI tables from the database. After that you can uninstall CSVI from the Extension Manager. Once that is completed you can do a new install of CSVI Pro.
Hello, Are you updating from CSVI 5 or from a CSVI 6 version? In case you are updating from CSVI 5, did you follow the steps in the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or updating of CSVI 6[/url] document?
Hello Pieter, [quote]I think because the path is not complete? When clicking on the url, the csv file is prompt downloading.[/quote] Yes, the error is because CSVI is not able to find the complete path for the CSV file. [quote]The filename of the downloaded csv is different then before. The changing the name of the file every day. Is there a workaround for this, or do I need to download the file everuday and upload it?[/quote] You can try using complete URL in your template settings but since you are saying the filename keeps changing, I guess the better option will be to download and upload it.
Hello, Your import file is wrong, there is a space after custom_title. You can set multiple values with # and if there are no values already created, CSVI will create them during import. Try import correcting your CSV file. If you still have issues, post the debug log of the import and your corrected import file.
Hello, You can download CSVI latest version from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro]CSVI Downloads[/url] page.
Hello, First action should be to update Joomla, they released a critical security release. You should install CSVI 6 as CSVI 5 is [b]no[/b] longer supported. To start clean, please follow the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] document and after that install CSVI Pro 6 and then the CSVI VirtueMart plugin. That should get you going.
Hello Peter, [quote]What steps would you take to import those into Virtuemart so I don't have to add each individual product record?[/quote]What do you mean by adding each individual product record? Some background information, when you import a product it needs to have a unique identifier. This is called the product SKU and is a required field. CSVI checks if the SKU exists, if it does, the product is updated. If the SKU does not exist, CSVI adds the product to the system. [quote]Also, how do i prepare the csv file for the import?[/quote]Usually people use a spreadsheet to prepare their CSV import files. [quote]Do I create one template or 3?[/quote]You need only 1 template with 3 fields as you can add multiple fields to a single template. [quote]No supported fields have been found in the import file[/quote]This means that your CSV file does not contain column headers with the CSVI names but most likely a name of your own choosing. I can't comment further because there is no sample CSV included and the debug log. If you use the names as mentioned in your first post Category\Product\Price, you cannot use the option [b]Use file for configuration[/b]. This must be set to No and you have to add the fields to your template. You can also use the CSVI names instead which are category_path, product_sku, product_price. [quote]Fatal error: Call to a member function reset() on a non-object in /home/fitzadmin/public_html/administrator/components/com_csvi/addon/com_virtuemart/model/import/category.php on line 379[/quote] This looks like it happened because no language has been chosen in the template so the language table could not be loaded. Although this is the category import, I thought you want to do a product import. You can also use the Fieldmapper in CSVI to help you create a template. Now it looks like you have the wrong kind of template set. You need a template of the type Import / VirtueMart / Product.
[quote]What is wrong or what could be the solution?[/quote]The problem I would say are your delimiters. In your template set the Auto-detect delimiters to No and specify your own. Do know that the |-symbol is also used by CSVI for other options. Best is to use the normal CSV delimiters of comma and double quote.
well i delete everything on database now csvi 5.1.21 is working but i try to export a csv with all the field from the virtuemart product and to import it on another database a joomla 3 with hikashop and they cant import the product... i m very lost and think i lost my money with your logiciel
Hi Tharuna, Thanks for the fix. I will have a look at the site and check it works with more new products as the .csv file attached was just a sample of the full range. Did you clear the table from Maintenance > Virtuemart > Empty Database section in CSVI, as I had tried this before to no avail? Regards Simon
Hello, The problem of page exits without saving to VirtueMart dashboard is only with your parent product and not with child products, atleast for me. This is not an issue with your csv file or CSVI but with your php.ini settings. This issue has been discussed in VirtueMart forum [url=http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=131069.0]here.[/url]
Hello Seema, You can find CSVI VirtueMart addon at [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads]CSVI Downloads[/url] page and in CSVI Pro Extensions section. Look for 7.6.2 version, download and install the CSVI VirtueMart addon extension.
Hi Roland 1 - This seems the most important. Orders are not recognised by CSVI unless you go to the details of an order and save it. (They were not recognised so I tried editing the customer note and saving the order and it appeared in next export of CSV but it works even by clicking save in an order) 2 -Custom fields default value (commented on another post) 3 - Fields that return no value: payment_name shipment_element shipping_full_name customer_note EDIT: shipment_name works [strike]4 - Split orderline is not working[/strike] Suddenly it works, reinstalled joomla and saved csvi template again changing setting. Regards
[quote]After 120MB di log i copy part of the log:[/quote]That is why we say you should test with only a few products. So I checked that image and it's identity string is FFD8FFE0, which is a known string in CSVI but it seems it cannot be read because the debug log says: [DEBUG] Identity string: [DEBUG] Mime type found: So CSVI doesn't know what type of file it is processing. Can you post a CSV file with the product that calls this image? I can see what happens if I import it here.
Hello, Please update your CSVI, this issue has been fixed in version CSVI 6.5.5 and the current running version is CSVI 6.6.0.
I have problems with the multi variant import, which did not work for me. I followed your advices [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/de/forum/newtopic]here[/url]. My configuration is joomla 3.4.5, virtuemart 3.0.10 and csvi Pro. 6.3 - I created two virtuemart custom fields for Size and Color: [img]http://berger-online.org/image/csvi.jpg[/img] - I did an import with a few parent products. The import file looks like this in the preview: [img]http://berger-online.org/image/csvi2.jpg[/img] - I did an update of the available fields in the maintenance part of csvi But I did not find any new fields with Size and Color. What is wrong? Regards GuB PS With the full parent file and german words for Size and Color (Größe / Farbe) a got a system crash, because csvi copied the system on and on in the temp directory.
Hi, I want to import Virtuemart products but have error "An error has occured during the import. Below the information received from the server." Joomla 3.6.2 + VirtueMart 3.0.10 + CSVI 6.6.44 CSV file loaded on tmp folder and show import file contains lines, but after release "start import" have a error, screenshot on attachment
Thanks for finding the cause. Rather than going into the database to edit the tables, is there a field/value we can add to the import csv file and template to fix this? Or is this something that will be fixed or patched in CSVI Pro? If editing the db tables is the only fix, is it something that only has to be done once?
Hello, The error you see is no longer related to the CSV file, I assume that you did get a correct preview. There is nothing strange about the import file. What is stranger is that there apparently is an id field used by CSVI but doesn't exist in the database. If you go to Logs in CSVI, do you see the debug log for that import? I would like to see that to see where it stops. This is assuming you enabled the debug logging in your template. To check, I ran your import file on my test environment and that all went OK.
Hallo all, I have problem with adding own available fields.

What is the right way to import colors to the website?[/quote] Can you post sample of your import file, import debug log and screenshots of how you have your Custom fields for all field set in VirtueMart custom fields page?
Hello, The error is because of incompatibility of CSVI version and Joomla versions, your Joomla and VirtueMart are to latest versions but not CSVI. You need to update your CSVI to latest version. Since you are saying you have CSVI PRO 5.9.6, you need to follow [url=https://csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1076&catid=22&Itemid=252]Updating to CSVI 6 version[/url] document to update CSVI.
Hello Kostas, Sorry but the skip rule plugin is for CSVI 7.0 version. It cannot be used alone with CSVI 6.6.4 version as there are few changes made with CSVI core files in CSVI 7.0 version to make this plugin to work.
I am a little confused, you said you want to import the delivery date but in reality the file has a tracking code. You must use the exact table names in your CSV file if you are using the file as configuration. If you use the template fields, the field names in the CSV file are not used. So that explains why it wouldn't work. Yes, it is normal to see only 5 lines, you can set the number of debug lines in the settings of CSVI.
Hello Jef, Please update your CSVI VirtueMart addon to 7.3.1 version as there is a fix in this version for order export having empty fields. You can find this addon version from CSVI downloads page and on [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-3-1]CSVI extension[/url] section.
Hello, You need to update your CSVI VirtueMart addon to 7.3.1 version, there is a fix included in this version for order export having empty fields. You can find this addon version at CSVI downloads page and at [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-3-1]CSVI Extension section[/url].
Hello, You seem to have an outdated database, to solve it Please follow [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi] Uninstall CSVI[/url] instructions to uninstall CSVI extension first and then install CSVI and virtuemart addon.
Hello, [quote]- I need first to upload a file before I can map. Does this mean I first have to duplicate my Merchant to make it a csv export to import in the mapping area?[/quote] Yes you need to upload your csv file before mapping, CSVI will identify the column headers in your file and gives an option of mapping to database fields. You can check [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/915-csvi-field-mapper]field mapper[/url] documentation to know on the same. [quote]- I did above step and it won't read my fields: www.evernote.com/l/AnMJhmQJ-EJCo5Ag1Cijt419de9thKuvIYU [/quote] Your CSV file dont seem to be a valid one. The first few characters at the beginning shows that the file is UTF-8Y, also known as a Byte Order Mark(BOM) file. You have to first save your file as a normal UTF-8 file before doing the import. [quote]- If I have products in stock, how do I just get 'in stock' for the products that have stock? (Because default it would have a number value of stock)And if I don't use stock how will it show 'in stock' (because I have unlimited)[/quote] Are these for exporting your products? Because for import VirtueMart takes only numbers into the database for product_in_stock field. There is a way in CSVI to handle this, You can create a rule using CSVI value comparison plugin to replace number with text you want. Apply this rule on product_in_stock field in your template fields and that should do it. The question is that you want it for export or import.
Hello, i installed and used the csv free version to check it would meet my requirements and i created a template without issues. when creating the template it allowed me to select component as virtuemart. i've installed csvi pro on joomla 3 and virtuemart 3 but the virtuemart component is not coming up in the selection. can you help?
Hello Marcel, [quote]I;ve tried your suggestion several times. But CSVI isn't exporting, in my case, any data i only see Name, street etc.[/quote]If you have issues to get the data out, we really need the debug log as requested at the top of the page, so we can see what is happening during the export. [quote]My question is: is it possible to make this function in CSVI, it;s the only thing i need CSVI for.[/quote]Since CSVI is extendable it can be build as a custom job. CSV Improved supports [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/858-override-import-export-routines]overrides[/url] and that would be the way to go in this case. As I mentioned, this will be a custom job and not part of the core, so there is additional cost. As to how much I can only tell you once I know what you exactly need. If you prefer a refund that is possible as well.

Hello Steve, The duplicate slug and duplicate prices are not related. A duplicate price happens if CSVI can't find your existing price, it will add the price in that case. I will need the debug log of your import as well to see what happens. Post the debug log of the same names CSV import and I will check it.
Good morning, I'm new in CSVI and I have some difficulties with export of orders. A perfect solution would be a csv-file export with additional fields like: shipping_address_1 shipping_address_2 shipping_city shipping_company shipping_country_name shipping_email shipping_first_name shipping_full_name shipping_last_name shipping_phone_1 shipping_phone_2 shipping_zip etc.... In case of need it could be an order advanced export as XML-file, because most of the required fields are available there. However I get an error with order advanced as shown in attachement. How can I add these additional fields to my export? CSVI Pro 6.6.4 Joomla 3.6.4 VM 3.0.18 Please help! Kind regards Teresa
I am using Joomla 3.6.2, VirtueMart 3.0.16, and CSVI Pro 6.6.3. I have 2 sample orders in VirtueMart... no other orders. When I go to export the orders from CSVI Pro, the export succeeds but I get many identical duplicates of the two Virtuemart orders. Instead of the CSV file containing 2 data records, it contains 139 records for each of the 2 orders, for a total of 279 data records. When I look at the orders in Virtuemart admin, there are 2 orders. When I look at "j25_virtuemart_orders" from phpMyAdmin, I see just 2 orders. help! thanks
Hello, This has nothing to do with Joomla or CSVI but more with your site. You are installing CSVI 6 on a site that has an older CSVI version but this wasn't uninstalled before installing CSVI 6. Follow the steps in the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] document and after that you can do a clean install of CSVI. If you wish to keep any existing templates, you are going to need a backup where you restore the backup of the site and first uninstall the old CSVI and then install CSVI 6. The other thing you can do of course is to recreate the templates. A final note, version 6.5.6 has just been released so you may want to install that version instead.
Hello David, To convert CSVI 5 templates to CSVI 6 templates, You can try following the below steps. But please make sure you backup the site. * Create a new test website of your old 1.5 site with CSVI installed. * Update Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 3.4.8 * Update your CSVI to latest CSVI 6 version * Run the backup templates option in CSVI 6 using Maintenance menu by selecting CSVI Pro in first option and Backup templates in second option on the new test site * You will get an XML file of the template * Restore the templates into your new site using same Maintenance menu by selecting CSVI Pro in first option and Restore templates in second option. Don't worry if you see any errors, all that is needed on this test site is to make CSVI working so we get the templates in CSVI 6 XML format.
Okay, I've been really lazy about reporting this as I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. But after we update CSVI and to an Update Available Fields, our template fields are gone. We have two custom import templates. These CSV files have 60+ columns. Every time we update CSVI we have to go back into the system and re-map each of the fields. This takes too much time to be of use...my hope was to pass the process of updating the site's membership records to either an automated task, or to staff, but this won't do for them what we need until I can figure out what I am doing wrong. The process is that we have a working template. Fields are mapped, etc. and the import works fine. Until we update CSVI. After the CSVI update we get an error saying that no fields in the CSV file match, and that we need to update our fields. We update available fields, it does its thing, then when we go back to run the import, we get: No supported fields have been found in the import file We then have to go back into the template and re-map every field. With three main files, the smallest is 60 columns, it takes me hours to get this set back up again. It would be nice if the field mapping would find Field names and match them automatically--or even if it would keep things in order, but its not even alphabetic. So what am I doing wrong? Is this not really made for custom tables? (Edit: just an FYI, our field names in the table are the same as the field names in the CSV file, which are also the same as defined in the template. Is the "Your Fields" column is still intact (but not sorted in any order) and the "CSVI Fields" that get cleared out every update).
Hi! Joomla 3.8 Virtuemart 3.2.4 CSVI Pro 7.2.3 Im using import / product examples template Example Export product works great but if i try to import the same CSV with the Example Import Product the result is "Import 0 Processed " as you can see on the image Any idea about what could be the issue ? Thanks in advance
Hello, Which version of CSVI you are running? Starting from CSVI 7.5.0 there is a new operation added to CSVI for adding custom date format in Multi replace rule. If you are not on this version, update your CSVI and you should be seeing this option.
Hello, You can download CSVI VirtueMart addon from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads]CSVI downloads[/url] page and on [b]CSVI Pro Extensions[/b] section.
Hello, [quote] I install after the plugin CSVI PRO Virtumart. It see that all it's ok but the component interface in not the same, it appears rare.[/quote]The interface has changed between CSVI 5 and CSVI 6. [quote]At the moment I prefer wait a CSVI 6 Pro stable version because with the CSVI 5 Pro I'm fine.[/quote]That is OK, CSVI 6 stable won't be much of a difference to CSVI 6 RC1. Let's start at the beginning, can you create the derivate products manually in VirtueMart and make them show up as a dropdown?
Hi, I use Csvi Improved to import in Virtuemart csv files exported from AS400, congratulations for the extraordinary work and fantastic component. I have a little problem that I think can be solved by applying a rule. In case of negative storage products As400 in product_in_stock field exports numbers with a minus sign "-" at the end (eg. 100- means that the stock is -100 pcs). I want to import these values in virtuemart product_in_stock as 0 (zero), at the moment they are imported as a positive value. When a stock is negative on the csv file to import, in Virtuemart must be 0. I think the plugin CSVI Replace can help me to solve this problem, I don't know how to set up the regex and find and replace fields in the rule to apply to product_in_stock field. Thank you in advance for your support, regards, Alessandro.
Hi Roland CSVI 5.15 Pro Virtuemart 2.0.26d Joomla! 2.5.11 I purchased CSVI Pro with the understanding i can use it to add products and update all prices accross my virtuemart shop by importing/exporting custom fields containing the product options and prices is this correct? I have the master product and all custom tables working in the test virtuemart installation and i now want to be able to export to Excel CSV and import into the identical production installation. But so far we have been unable to export all the relevant custom field data from the test site. The end result would be to be able to update all products and options in one CSV is this possible? And if it is possible do you know if there is a specific way the virtuemart custom fields have to be set up? Thank you for your time. Ben
Hello Chris, Not really a CSVI issue but rather an incorrect CSV file. By default a CSV file has a comma as field delimiter and a double quote as text enclosure. Since you are not specifying any text enclosure, the system takes the double quote as text enclosure. That is why it stops. A valid CSV line in your case would look like this: [code type="markup"]"TFW-24";"trucks-front-wiper-blades";"Twister Front Wiper Blade for Trucks 24"" 600mm"[/code]The 24" is double double quoted because it is a sort of escape character, so the quote remains and you get 24".
Hello, Your CSVI version is incompatible with the Joomla version and so the error. You should either update your CSVI to latest version or use an older Joomla version to run CSVI 6.6.4 version. I would recommend you to update your CSVI in this case.

Hello, Looks like you have just update CSVI extension but not the CSVI addon. You also need to update CSVI addon you are using to 7.0.2 version.
Hello Derek, There is a file missing for CSVI, Can you try uninstalling CSVI first and install CSVI and then install virtuemart addon? You need to run [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Update Available fields[/url] after that.
Hello, You seem to be using old version of CSVI, can you tell us which version of CSVI you are using currently? What if you update your CSVI and CSVI VirtueMart addon to latest version and run the export? Do you still see the error?
Hello, The installation has not gone correct, there are problems with your database tables. Can you go to Maintenance and choose CSVI Pro -> Remove CSVI tables. This will remove all CSVI tables and then you can uninstall CSVI. After that do a new installation of CSVI, just to be sure all is OK and tables are created correctly. The other errors you mentioned, it seems your Joomla 3 installation has lost its librarries/fof folder. This is a core folder that is required by CSVI.

Hi, I've just upgraded to CSVI 6 Pro and have some questions on importing Custom Fields to Product file in VirtueMart based on product_sku. I have attached a CSV file for the data I need to import.

Let me know if I have explained clear on my problem and if you need more info. Thanks for your help, Derek

Hello, I use CSVI Pro many years. I have used older version (free and 5.20 Pro) on virtuemart 2, 2.5 and 3. Everything worked fine. Now I moved one of my sites to new hosting. On the new hosting I have more VM 3 sites where I use older 5.20 version and everything works fine. Now when I moved this site to this hosting, the CSVI Pro 5.20 stopped to work. So I bought new license and installed the newest version. I do everything like before, but it does not create Virtuemart category thumbnail images. The CSV file is correct. It imports everything but category image thumbnail. What changed in the version 6.5.3? How can I import and create Category Thumbnail? I added the imported file and settings screenshot. (the CSV file uses UTF-8 and slovak language - slovenčina)
Hello, The first thing i noticed with your import file is that file is not UTF 8 encoded. I see few non readable characters when running the file using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyser[/url]. You need convert your file as a valid UTF-8 encoded file before running the import, [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save a CSV file as UTF-8 document[/url] should help you in converting your file. If you still have issues post the debug log of your latest import with the new import file. To know on how to get the debug log check [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/390-how-to-collect-debug-information]How to collect debug information?[/url] document.
Hi, good morning guys. In years past I have used with great satisfaction CSVI with VM 1.x and 2.x VM, but with VM 3.x I'm going crazy. In particular I have some difficulty to add fields in the export template. Now I have the necessity to export media from virtuemart with produtc sku, but when add "product_sku" in default template "Example VirtueMart Media export" CSV is generated without the field product_sku. Someone can help me to solve this problem? I added the field "file_url" in default template "Example VirtueMart Product export", but nothing, the CSVI is generated without the "file_url". My necessity is a template with two fields: product_sku file_url I'm really frustrated. Someone can help me to solve this problem? My system: Joomla! 3.4.3 Virtuemart 3.0.9 CSVI Pro 6.3 Regards, Alex

Hello Marko, If you have installed CSVI HikaShop Order Export plugin from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-9-0]CSVI Downloads page[/url] and from CSVI Pro Extensions section, you will find this plugin file from location plugins/hikashop/hikashopcsviexport/hikashopcsviexport.php. You need to add the above mentioned line of code in this file.
Joomla 3.4.5 CSVI Pro 6.3.0 (patched) Hello. Rolandd helped me a couple days ago with a patch to set up a custom table export. That is working great. I have exported my custom table fields using CSVI Pro. I am now trying to do a small test import into the same table using CSVI Pro and the import is timing out. Here are the steps I have taken: Created custom Export template Export three table fields from a custom table into a CSV file. Edited the CSV file, deleting most of the content and then editing three entries as a test. Saved this text file. Copied the Export template and changed it into a Import template. Set the File parameters to Autodetect: Yes, I'm Mac: No, Use file for configuration: No, Skip first line: Yes, Go to Import, select my file for import, Preview file (Looks good) Start Import. Import screen comes up, grey overlay appears. Server does not respond. Process is cancelled. (Grey overlay stays in place). No changes made to table. Debug log shows nothing other then that it was starting the log Any idea why the import is not succeeding? Thanks!

Hello, Yes that is the error. Which version of CSVI are you using? Is your CSVI package and CSVI VirtueMart addon are updated to same version? Can you go to Joomla Extensions menu >> Manage >> Manage, Search for CSVI in filter box and post a screenshot on what you see?
Hello, You have not installed the CSVI VirtueMart addon. You can download that from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-5-1]CSVI Pro Extensions section[/url]. Once you have installed that, you will see VirtueMart there as well.
Hello, Yes, the CSVI VirtueMart Addon which you can find under Downloads -> CSVI Pro Extensions. Take the 6.5.5 version and there you can find the CSVI VirtueMart Addon.
Hello Ivan, The problem is not a CSVI problem but something else on your site. Your site is preventing CSVI from running correctly. When you click the update button, CSVI is trying to access the URL https://YOURSITE/administrator/index.php but it is not allowed and thus CSVI stops. Check if you have any firewall or any other system in place that prevents CSVI from accessing that URL.
Hello Matteo, [quote]I saw already a similar post, so I would like to know how far is the implementation to update order status with CSVI.[/quote]It's ready, are you having any issues with it? [quote]I see there is a possibility to import a csv with fields virtuemart_ordeer_id and order_status and I would like to know if this is already the option.[/quote]That should work yes. [quote]It would be possible also to let virtuemart send the email of status change automatically?[/quote]No emails are sent out because CSVI changes the database, it does not trigger anything in VirtueMart when changing the order status.
Hello, Thanks for your speed answer. Sorry, I can't find any field named "something_check" in a CSVI old to use as equivalent name to "payment_element" in CSVI 6 PRO. (But in a csv file it seems that "payment_method_name" runs, the payment method name appears right like this: Tarjeta de Crédito / Credit Car or PayPal or Transferencia bancaria / Bank Transfer) I revise all again and I see another problem. In the amount of order the decimals position is wrong. For exemple it writes 9896,00 € and the right amount must be 98,96 €. I'm not sure if the problem is to importation or is of VirtueMart configuration Thanks and kind regards!
Ok. After upgrading both joomla and CSVI as suggested, and after the reset indicated, I can see now on the template list the Virtuemart option. This looks solved then. Thank you. About this point: "Finally the Download ID, this is odd because this is not CSVI but Joomla code. So Joomla can't save the configuration. It would almost indicate that there is no database entry for CSVI. You do see CSVI under Component -> CSVI Pro?" Yes, I see the CSVI Pro. In fact, I don't know anyway of entering the download ID but from the component -> CSVI Pro menu. But I still get the same error.
[quote]Hello Seema, You can find CSVI VirtueMart addon at [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads]CSVI Downloads[/url] page and in CSVI Pro Extensions section. Look for 7.6.2 version, download and install the CSVI VirtueMart addon extension.[/quote] Thank you. I have installed version 7.6.2.
Hello, The error you get is because the file cannot be loaded. First thing to check is if both CSV Improved and the CSV Improved VirtueMart addon are the same version. You can check his by going to Extensions -> Manage -> Manage and search on [b]csvi[/b]. In the version column both need to be 7.11.0. If the version is the same for both please check if the file plugins/csviaddon/virtuemart/com_virtuemart/model/export/product.php actually exists. Let me know what you find and we can take it from there.
Hello, [quote]Do I have to create the custom fields before and the csvipro will import data to them?[/quote] Yes, you need to create these fields and CSVI will import data to them.

J 3.5.1 VM 3.14 CSVI 6.5.6 After updating from CSVI 6.5.5 to 6.5.6 to my surpise VM product export templates are not working as they should. First line of the CSV file is not filed with all selected fields. Second line has a "No data has been found for the selections made" message. Before updating all was working perfectly. Tried to update the available fields... no change. Reinstalled the component and plugins for the second time.... no change.

Hello, You don't seem to have CSVI stockable custom fields plugin installed on your site and so the custom fields are been processed which in turn is the cause for no drop downs.

Hi, I am trying to automatically import a csv file from Google Spreadsheets. The url Google gives me looks like this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zxun9_LvrPXjSER3Zh-OyvYAUso2qlazYMLdcxmFY1k/pub?gid=0&single=true&output=csv When I test this url in the CSVI template config, I get the message 'The URL has been tested and is valid.' However, when I run the import, I get an error that the .csv extension is missing: Error No extension has been found on the uploaded file /var/www/saint/tmp/com_csvi/1468776321/pub_output_csv, now I don't know what to do with your file. Please check your file if it has a valid extension. Valid extensions are csv, tsv, txt, xml, xls and ods. Is there a workaround for this?
I am using Multiple customfields filter for virtuemart.

When I import the values, the program seems to create unique search value for every value in the custom_param field. How can I prevent duplicate value creation?

Hello, [quote]Please help. Plugin and J2 store component enabled, however, template csvi does not show J2store component selection.[/quote] Go to CSVI Tasks page and click on Reset button. This should get you J2Store in component list in your template. Would also recommend you to [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]update your available fields[/url] before running your import. [quote]Import to K2 component writes: No extension has been found on the uploaded file /home/www/paradises.biz/www/paradises.biz/tmp/com_csvi/1971482523/e2uj6wxv, now I do not know what to do with your file . Please check your file if it has a valid extension. Valid extensions are csv, tsv, txt, xml, xls and ods. Feed is an xml file, so what I do you do badly?[/quote] In your template settings on file tab, set Use file extension to XML so you are forcing CSVI to use XML as extension for the file. See if your file is read after that.
Hello, You mean you have installed CSVI Pro VirtueMart addon package found in CSVI site >> Downloads page >> CSVI Pro Extensions section? If yes, try [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]updating your available fields[/url] as explained and see if it helps.
Hello Anne, The extensions you have pasted for 7.3.0 version are part of CSVI package and should also be updated when you install the package. Can you run the update again downloading it from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro/csvi-pro-7-4-1]CSVI Downloads[/url] page?
Hello, [quote]Problem 1 - Virtuemart image is not showing. Reading your forums I see that allow image to be saved on server must be checked, which it is for the template. The image file exists under the file location. Typing in URL shows this. CSVI Product Sample file csv com_csvi.log.21 [/quote] You have used absolute url for your image which is not needed as the image is stored in your server already. You can just use the name of the image in import field like glow-bracelet.jpg. CSVI will take the VirtueMart default location for the product image(images/stories/virtuemart/product/) and process the image. Try import after this change and your image should process good. [quote]Problem 2 - Error message: These fields have been found but are not supported by CSVI: price_quantity_start, price_quantity_end. I have run update fields several times as suggested in the log. CSVI Prices Sample file csv com_csvi.log.25[/quote] As i mentioned already in other post you need to do [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/912-import-virtuemart-prices]price import[/url] for this and not product import. Price and product are two different imports, you need to setup two import templates and use import file accordingly. The fields price_quantity_start and price_quantity_end are not supported by product import and so you see the error. Please check the linked document on how to do price import.
Hi, i follow the instruction of this link but something not work properly: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/203-virtuemart/922-multiple-customfields-filter-for-virtuemart Joomla: 3.4.4 Virtuemart: 3.0.10 CSVI Pro : 6.2.0 Product Filter: latest version (download yesterday). When i try to import a filter (example color) all seem work properly CSVI doesn't give error, but if i go in the product the filter is not choose (see screenshot) it report available for all and not the color that i choose in the csv file. I attach the file that i use to test. Sorry for my bad english hope you understand the problem. Regards Enrico
Hello Tony, This SQL error is not related to CSVI Update or CSVI component itself.
Hello Tim, In CSVI 6 the folder is called [b]helper[/b] without the S. There is no helpers folder in CSVI 6. So I am guessing now you are not using CSVI 6?
Hello Tomasz, Yes it was caused by CSVI update :) This code will be included in our CSVI 6.6.0 release so till then please make sure the patch is updated when you update CSVI version.
Hello, Starting with CSVI 7.3.0 version we have added a new feature for adding date format to date fields in CSVI template fields page and the function getDateFormat() is for this functionality. This function is missing in CSVI file at location administrator/components/com_csvi/helper/exportfields.php and so you are getting this error. Did the update of CSVI go without any issues on your site? Can you try to update CSVI again and check?
I managed this by simply modifying the template for price export. These are the fields i set up for the template: product_sku product_price product_override_price After exporting with these fields, i filled the table product_override_price with "new" prices for an override price. Finally i imported this CSV back into CSVI. And now the "new" override prices are shown. See attached file for the fields and an example.
Hello, CSVI doesn't remove anything when it comes to a replacement rule unless you ask it to do so. You can check the actual CSV file with another program if the descriptions are there. The rule as I posted won't remove the descriptions, just the linebreaks. If you have any other rules in place, make sure that they are not the ones removing the descriptions.
Hello, I´m having troubles importing fields with accented characters or other special characters (á í é ñ) For example field last-name Chávez is imported as Ch vez I had even tried converting CSV to UTF-8 Unix fle using TextPad but still not working. Any option? Best regards Joomla 3.5.1 VM 3.0.17 CSVI Pro 6.5.5
Hello, Have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/912-import-virtuemart-prices]import VirtueMart prices[/url] document to know more on price import. CSVI will process values with multiple rows so you should have your CSV file in the format below "product_sku1";"price_quantity_start";"price_quantity_end";"product_price" "product_sku2";"price_quantity_start";"price_quantity_end";"product_price" "product_sku3";"price_quantity_start";"price_quantity_end";"product_price"
Hello, You need to [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/es/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-2-0]install the VirtueMart addon[/url] as well if you are using CSVI with VirtueMart.
Hello, [quote]but the text delimiter should be something like ~ because " is used in HTML (or I am missing something?)[/quote]You are missing something. The CSV specifications state that any " used in your text should be duplicated, so you get things like this [code type="markup"]"link"[/code] Any spreadsheet will save the data correctly for CSV by duplicating the " where needed. Nothing you need to do for that. You can use the linebreaks, just make sure you use the text enclosure. CSVI has no issue dealing with linebreaks.
Hello Ivan, It is not the problem with our CSVI plugin. As the error says "403 Forbidden error" something is blocking CSVI. It could be because of security plugins like Admin tools or may be your htaccess file which is stopping CSVI to access the URL /administrator/index.php. Please check these and give access to CSVI.
CSVI 6 is a complete rewrite so anything is possible but if it were a real error in CSVI, you wouldn't be the only one having this issue. Another thought, did you install CSVI 6 over an existing installation? If so, you will most likely have a mix of old and new files. In that case it is better to do a complete new installation by following the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] document and then install CSVI Pro again and the VirtueMart add-on needs to be installed again.
Hello, Please follow the instructions in the document for [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi] Uninstalling CSVI[/url] and then do fresh install of CSVI 6.5.2 version and Virtuemart addon.

Hello, Which CSVI Version are you using? This issue has been already identified and fixed with CSVI 7.6.2 version. It is advised to install the latest CSVI 7.9.0 version and check if the error is gone.
Hello, First of all, your import file looks good to me. [quote]it stops (stucks) after 3 seconds of last server response field...[/quote]Have a look at the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/832-using-firebug-to-analyze-import-problems]Using Firebug to analyze import problems[/url] to see if you can find anything why it stops. There seems to be no reason to stop from the CSVI point of view. It could also be a plugin that interferes with CSVI. [quote]When i am trying to import the same csv file but without product_sku values(prointa teliko export TEST), it completes the import it but it imports only 50 lines of 324...[/quote]Without the product_sku, nothing will happen as CSVI won't have anything to add/update. [quote]another question i want to make is what are the apropriate fields i have to export for virtuemart products so that all of my 1958 products to be in the csv and not only the 324 products....[/quote]Post the debug log of your export, so we can see what is there. If the export is not always 324 but the number is different all the time, it is the server killing the export.
Hello Teresa, This is a known bug in CSVI 6 and it is fixed in our CSVI 7 version. Once you update your CSVI to CSVI 7 you shouldn't be seeing this error. This issue has also been discussed in the thread [url=https://csvimproved.com/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=33506#51595]here[/url].
Hi, Ive just updated from CSVI Pro version 7.1.0 to 7.4.1 but ive just noticed the frontend imports are no longer working, its giving a 404 component not found, when I go into the backend on the menu item, it shows nothing under the Menu item type, and if I click to select I no longer find CSVI as an option to add here. Your help would be much appreciated, im really hoping you haven't got rid of this functionality.

Hello Lindee, The MySQL error is about CSVI looking for one of its field in database table and could not find it. It means there are still leftovers of your CSVI installation. Please follow the document [url=https://csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1068&catid=22&lang=en-GB&Itemid=252]Uninstall CSVI[/url] to clean up your installation and install CSVI 7.1.0 version directly instead of using CSVI 5.21.2.
Hi Roland, Thank you, I will give it a try. Just for your info, the csv file that I have been using was originally generated from CSVi, and was then opened in Excel 2010, and when saved, was saved as a CSV file, so apart from the exported file, it has never been saved as an excel file of any version. Ref the BOM, I was unaware of this as I only have excel and notepad to use for converting, and it is not visible to me as a UTF-8Y, only as a UTF-8. Regards John
Hello Don, See the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] tutorial on how to uninstall CSVI completely. It is important to make sure the tables are removed.
I'm sorry, i tought that CSV Improved is a dutch company. I would like to use the icecat option in CSVI Pro, and followed these steps : https://csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/868-import-icecat-product-information Unfortunatly every attempt failed. Joomla 3.7.4 + CSVI Pro 7.2.3 + CSVI addon_virtuemart 7.2.0 I have an active account for Icecat. And filled in every item in the "Dashbord" like user and password, even Download ID and Domain. For the icecat strings (index URL + Manufacturer URL) i have left them as default. Then we go to "Maintenance" load icecat indexes: Using everything as default the output is : String could not be parsed as XML Using the options gzip off + load type single, the output is : COM_CSVI_ICECAT_INDEX_FILE_NOT_FOUND At first i tought that the default strings (index URL + Manufacturer URL) were outdated. But the are correct, and in a browser accessible. What am i doing wrong ?
I have the same problem after updating csvi joomla Joomla! 3.5.1 CSVI Pro 6.5.7
Hello, You need to download and install the CSVI VirtueMart addon from the Download section under CSVI Extensions, after that you can see VirtueMart in the drop down list. Also i see that you have installed the old version of CSVI as the current version is CSVI 6.6.2, it is recommended you install the latest version.
Hey Marko, While testing the filename export I stumbled upon an issue in the front-end export. So we are fixing that to make sure the given filename is used for export. This is not related to your request but was uncovered because of it. No changes on your end need to be made for this. The one thing you will need to do is alter the HikaShop CSVI export plugin we provide. You will need to add this line to your version[code type="markup"]$uri->setVar('form_export_filename', $order->order_id . '.csv');[/code] and change it so you get the filename you like. In this example it is only exporting the order ID as filename and I am not sure that is enough. So this example, if you export order ID 5, you get the 5.csv file. Adjust it to your needs. Make a backup as well because it will be overwritten if you update CSVI, so you need to reapply the change.
Hi, I export categories, but the file appears to be empty when I import it to the new site.

Hello, [quote]Is there a way that the name of the csv file to not be static, but the filename.csv , to be for example: username_of_the_order.csv ? So every time that it is exported i need the filename to be the username of the order. I am talking for "Filename for exported file" , on File tab, of the template.[/quote] No that is not possible as of now with CSVI. The only way to not to use static filename is by adding date placeholders to the filename like filename_[Y]-[m]-[d].csv where the year,month and date of order exported is replaced for [Y],[m] and [d].
Hello, You can either [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/917-how-to-enable-updates-in-csvi]update your CSVI[/url] using Joomla updater or you can download the latest version from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro]Downloads[/url] page of CSVI main site and install it from Joomla extension manager.
Hi, I'm currently having some issues with exporting from the Virtuemart Users Info area. No matter what template fields I use or settings that I change it exports a blank csv.

Hello again. I am importing a csv file. The field name used is "description" I want this field to import to "introtext" (K2 field). I have edited the template field "introtext" so the file field name is description, yet I get an error on import Unsupported Failure These fields have been found but are not supported by CSVI: description Is this not how this functions?
CSVI Pro 7.2.3 virtuemart 3.2.2 Joomla 3.7.2 In my CSV there is a field that contains the category including the path. [code type=""]['Barbecues & heaters', 'Gasbarbecues', 'Fiësta', 'Fiësta 600'][/code] So Fiësta 600 is the final category and the subcategory from the previous ones Can csvimproved create the categories and place the item in de last named category during the import of the product?
Hello, I found an issue with your CSV file. Your parent product and child products all have same product_sku. This field is a unique field used by CSVI to either update or insert a product. Since all the three products skus are same, there is only one product inserted and it is been updated subsequently. Please correct the product_sku and try doing the import again.
Hi, I have this com-csvi-about constantly, to each article I create. http://lightco.com.au/com-csvi-about/guide-to-hanging-light-over-the-dining-table http://lightco.com.au/com-csvi-about/guide-to-hanging-in-the-entrance http://lightco.com.au/com-csvi-about/guide-to-hanging-your-light-over-the-kitchen-bench http://lightco.com.au/com-csvi-about/guide-to-hanging-light-over-the-kitchen-sink etc.... If I remove the com-csvi-about, I end up with a 404 page. It seems to appear only for articles, nothing related to VM. I went to csvi/about and click fix but the links remain the same. Can you tell me please how to remove this? Thank you
Hello, Do not install the CSVI package, after running the query i sent in my previous post, does your CSVI extension work? In your Joomla menu go to Components >> CSVI Pro and check if it works.
Hello, Not sure what has happened with your installation but I recommend doing a clean installation of CSVI. See the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] tutorial on how to remove CSVI completely. It is important to remove all the tables from the database before doing a new installation.
Hello, Have you updated your CSVI VirtueMart addon to 7.3.1 version? You can find this version in CSVI Downloads page and in [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions] CSVI Pro Extensions[/url] section. There is a fix done for VirtueMart order export having empty fields in that version. Can you update and do the export?
[quote]CSVI Pro Version: 6.1.2[/quote]First would be to update to CSVI 6.3.0. As for the rest of the issue, I think you have an issue with your availablefields table. In PhpMyAdmin go to your database and remove the table csvi_availablefields, after that uninstall CSVI and then install CSVI again and after that install the CSVI VirtueMart add-on. Reset the tasks and update the available fields. You should see all the needed fields in the Maintenance -> Available fields page.
Hereby an overiew of the rules and the fields. [attachment]CSVI Fields.png[/attachment] [attachment]CSVI Rules.png[/attachment]
Hello Chris, The clue I have is that this means you have either an old CSVI still on that site or there are things left from an old CSVI installation. CSVI 6 cannot be installed on an old CSVI version. At least not yet, the update SQL script is not yet complete. Do you have an old version still installed?
Hello, This is not an issue with the export itself but with Excel unable to handle such files. You're best bet is to use OpenOffice or LibreOffice as they have no issues to read such CSV files. The other option would be to manipulate the output before it is exported using replacement rules in CSVI. Of course I also assume you have set both the field delimiter and text enclosure values.
Hello, [quote]I can instal a "CSVI 6 Beta" simultaneus with CSVI 5 Pro? Or "CSVI 6 Beta" replace CSVI 5 Pro?[/quote]You cannot install CSVI 6 and CSVI 5 at the same time on the same site. You can replace CSVI 5 with CSVI 6 Before I continue with your example. Looking at your screenshot of VirtueMart 1, that layout is a customization, so it will never look like that in VirtueMart 3 unless you customize it. Now your example. In VirtueMart 3 they introduced Multi Variants, this is the equivalent of the attributes in VM1. Here is [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/203-virtuemart/1064-importing-multi-variant-custom-field]Multi Variant tutorial[/url] on how to use with CSVI 6. Have a look at that and see if you can use that. You can always create a first product by hand of course to see how things work in VirtueMart. There is an alternative, [url=https://breakdesigns.net/extensions/stockable-custom-fields]Stockable Custom Fields[/url] however CSVI doesn't support it yet. I am working on implementing support for this extension.
Hi All, Thanks for your efforts. Sadly, while it's now removed the Resized folder, it's still not working as expected. My csv contains the image filename and thumbnail filename like so: category_full_image,category_thumb_image AVT/image.jpg,timage.png In the old version of virtuemart and CSVi (assuming Location product files = "images/vm") the thumb was relative to the full image so this used to populate "Used url" and "Used thumb url" like this: images/vm/AVT/image.jpg images/vm/AVT/timage.png In the current situation (Joomla is 3.6.5, Virtuemart is 3.0.18, CSVi is 7.1.0 Pro) but before the patch, the same csv file is producing this: images/vm/AVT/image.jpg images/vm/AVT/Resized/timage.png After the patch, it populates like this: images/vm/AVT/image.jpg images/vm/timage.png I presumed that it was now working relative to the Location product files folder and tried amending the csv to include the AVT/ part to the path like this: category_full_image,category_thumb_image AVT/image.jpg,AVT/timage.png But this file is producing the same results, ie the AVT/ folder is being ignored and the path to the thumbnail is assumed to be in images/vm. Please advise.
Hello, I´m trying to export custom fields (title) and values from my test site. Unfortunately the order in export file in title and value is different. So there is no correct matching between the fields. In the database the data is ok. Do you have an idea? The csv is only one article (part from the export) but the wrong data is everywhere.

Hello, [quote]1. When I import a csv with only category_path and category_description it somehow changes the order of cateogries in VM. Could I set it somehow to "not change" the ordering in VM?[/quote] Try to add a field ordering in import file and the categories will be import with your way of order set in import file. [quote]2. Is it possible to rename category names with csvi?[/quote] CSVI imports the category_name with category_path field, i mean the last entry in category_path field will be taken as the category name. So it is not actually possible to rename the category name but you can create a new one and delete the old category using category_delete field.
Hello, First of all in your CSV file i see the usage of fields ending _id which is not recommended. Those are primary key fields of database table and using them will mess up your records. The reason you are not seeing products is because of field virtuemart_product_id in your import file. This field will tell CSVI to always update the product and not to create a new one. You need to use product_sku field instead, this will tell CSVI to create a product if not in database else to update product if found. Try importing after cleaning your import file and see how it goes. Post the debug log if you have any issue.
You have a problem with the database table csvi_availablefields. Easiest is to delete this table using PhpMyAdmin for example, then uninstall CSVI, install CSVI and install the CSVI Addon that you need. You should have all the fields again.
Hello, [quote] I was updating 5.15 free to 5.21.1 pro[/quote]How did you manage that? CSVI Free doesn't even run on Joomla 3. [quote]I pressed the fix database and all the errors went away. The only thing left is now the menu looks off. Is this a concern? Did the extension install correctly?[/quote]Since this is a new install I would say to be sure you better do a clean install. Go to Maintenance and select CSVI Pro -> Delete CSVI tables. This will remove all CSVI tables and then you go to Extension Manager and uninstall CSVI Pro. This will clean out CSVI from Joomla. After that do a new CSVI Pro install, you shouldn't have any issues after that.
Hello, There is no way to do this with CSVI as CSVI simply sends out it's emails to the email addresses specified in the template. The only thing you can do in CSVI is specify multiple recipients but not distinguish between them.

Hello Francesco, You need to update your CSVI to 7.3.0 version as that is the latest version. There was a issue with CSVI 7.0.0 and Joomla 3.8 version which has been fixed with CSVI 7.3.0 version. Make sure that your update your CSVI addons to latest version as well. Let us know if it solves your import issue after that.
Hello, May i know which version of CSVI you are using? There has been an issue that urls showing com-csvi-about which is discussed in this [url=https://csvimproved.com/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=32942&start=6]thread[/url]. This issue has been fixed in CSVI 6.5.7 version so if you running on lower version try updating your CSVI. You can then Go to Components -> CSVI Pro -> About, Click the Fix menu button. Also the existing menus should be resaved so they dont have com-csvi-dashboard text. Let me know if this helps.
Usually caused by security plugins used like Admin Tools or a setting in htaccess. This is something outside of CSVI as it is simply the system telling CSVI it is not allowed to access it's own file. It's odd that you get it with CSVI 6.3 because it has been the same since it's inception in CSVI 6.0. Something else must have changed on the site/server.
Hello, [quote]Thank you, that seems to have solved the problem. I suppose it will included in the next upgrade?[/quote] Yes, this will be included in our next release. [quote]About your second reply: I am aware of that. However, this is not a fresh import, but a correctional one. The CSV file is built from a CSVI export file, indeed to avoid ID problems. Please let me know if my reasoning is still not correct.[/quote] The id fields are avoided so CSVI decides if the record has to be inserted or updated using the required fields of an import. If there is an id field then it is always an update. Since you are aware of that then it should not be a problem.
Hi, I just bought the CSVI Pro 6.1.0 and installed it on a test joomla/virtuemart. (VirtueMart 3.0.8, Joomla! 3.4.3) I uploaded the templates and managed to export a file. I see 10 records were processed, but when I open the CSV file it is empty. I switched the language into Dutch and English and none of them works? Any thoughts please? Thanks, Jo
@Atrus This is exactly what I want to test at the moment. Do you have a sample CSV file of how have imported your products that I could take a peek at? I have already imported 100's of parent/child products and now want to use CSVi to set all the multi variants up, where all my parents are not orderable, Thanks Andy
Hi CSVI team, I don't think CSVI could import tags in a Joomla! 3.x database. But maybe for the future version 6 of CSVI a new plugin to import tags would be very usefull. Best regards Simon
Hello, [quote]How do I do this? My Joomla is up-to-date and my CSVI too[/quote] No problem, I meant if your CSVI is not up to date. [quote]I clear cache, I find updates, but there are no updates.................... it says. However, when I go to the Dashboard, they tell me that "The CSVI Addons that have been installed have been sold. The addons must be updated so that they are the same version as CSV Improved. In Extension you can see the current list of addons and the version number. The addons can be updated on the Update page of Extension Management." The link however doesn't work[/quote] Not sure why the link does not work for you but it does work for me. Go to Extensions >> Manage >> Manage, click on Search tools and select folder filter to be CSVIaddon. Can you post the screenshot of the page? That will tell us which extensions are outdated and the version running.
Hello, Did you install the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-5-7]Product Filter custom field[/url] plugin? This is required for CSVI to know how to handle this specific field.

Hey Petra, [quote]After saving it back using Excel: product_sku;product_desc ABC;This is a description; A description with ""extra"" use of the delimiters[/quote]That is actually an invalid CSV. [quote]The removal of the " as text delimiters leads to problems with ; messing it up and others.[/quote]Correct. I gave it a try with Excel 2010 here an it produces this CSV file: [code type="markup"]product_sku;product_desc ABC;"This is a description; A description with ""extra"" use of the delimiters"[/code] and this is a correct CSV file. Not sure what is going on with your Excel. In Excel, make sure you save the file as CSV (Comma delimited) and not as one of the other ones. [quote]So, the feature I was really looking for was an equivalent to your "Excel CSV" for the import template. [/quote]It isn't a feature CSVI needs. Programs should save correct CSV format files. The macro shouldn't be needed and I agree, it is difficult to explain it to users.
Hello Pieter, There was a compatibility issue with CSVI and Joomla 3.8 version and it was fixed with CSVI 7.2.4 version. Please update your CSVI to either 7.2.4 version or to the very latest 7.3.0 version so your import would work.

Hi, i've another problem. I know that CSVI only supports the Use custom label option. My database was migrated from VM2. If I try to insert a new product it's ok. If I try to update an old product, it does not work well. CSVI update all correctly using the old correct ID but doesn't update the field 'custom label' and doesn't update the 'custom fields'.

Hello, I think there is something wrong with your CSVI installation, the page looks broken. Can you try to uninstall CSVI from Joomla Extension manager and do a fresh install? Don't forget to install CSVI VirtueMart addon too.
Hello, I saw already a similar post, so I would like to know how far is the implementation to update order status with CSVI. I see there is a possibility to import a csv with fields virtuemart_ordeer_id and order_status and I would like to know if this is already the option. It would be possible also to let virtuemart send the email of status change automatically? Thanks Matteo
If these are CSVI 6 templates, then yes. If not you will need to convert them to CSVI 6 format first.
Hello everyone, I have updated CSVI Pro to 7.11.0 with Virtuemart plugin and during import I get this error constantly. [attachment]Screenshot_9.png[/attachment] My CSV file (template) hasn't been changed, so I must say problem is in the latest version of the component. Can someone explain where can I find a solution? Joomla! 3.9.1 VirtueMart 3.4.2 PHP 7.3.0 Thank you
joomla 3.6.2 virtuemart 3.0.18 hello, i installed csvi pro 6.6.4 after i installed csvi pro virtuemart extension plugin. all csvi extensions are enabled at joomla extension manager. all virtuemart fields are mapped at csvi backend. but i can not choose virtuemart component at template configuration. please i need help. EDIT: SORRY i dont know why but now it works!
Hello, Did you upgrade your CSVI from an older version? In CSVI 7.1.0 version there is no cron button in templates. The way of using cron has changed since CSVI 6 version so i guess you would have upgraded your version and your installation has messed up. Take a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1076&catid=22&Itemid=252]Installation or Upgrade to CSVI 6 document[/url] to follow the procedure to upgrade from CSVI 5.

Hello there, using J3/VM3/CSVI 5.21.2 In my export csv files I find that for product URLs (and image urls) the site name is missing. The URLs start with /index.php?option=com_virtuemart. Maybe it's something completely obvious that I missed, but I can't find it. Already tried with SEF URLs and non-sef, but same result. Help would be appreciated. Thanks and best regards Petra
Hello ROY, You did not mention which CSVI version your are using. Also the version of CSVI VirtueMart addon.
Hello Pas, As i said earlier if the fields invoice_cpt and invoice_number are Artio fields CSVI wont support it because CSVI has no code built for Artio fields. You need to use override or advanced CSVI export to get these field values.
Hello Marios, [quote]I've attached a screenshot for you to see what I have. The sample category csv with the category names and they are around 600 in total. The product csv rather than the category path have the category id. But when I make my template for category import I can't add the ID or parent that I have in my CSV file. How can I make this work for my website?[/quote] The name of the field to be used for category id is virtuemart_category_id, if you are using quick add button and don't see this field, click Show ID fields option to see all fields ending with _id. For importing parent id, you cannot do it with VirtueMart category import because CSVI populates parent id using category_path field. Since that is possible with your import file, what you can do is first create a template and import virtemart_category_id and category name using VirtueMart category import and then create another template and using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/863-custom-tables-import]CSVI custom table operation [/url] import parent id and child id into virtuemart_category_categories table.
Hello Richard, What is the vp_framework_assets? What is the vp_framework_assets doing with CSVI? This is not something CSVI fills or even touches.
Hello, In CSVI 8, the next generation of CSVI will make use of this library. So it is coming at some point ;)
Hello, The VM Cherry Picker addon for CSVI Pro is of no use in CSVI 5, this is an addon for CSVI 6 Pro beta. I assume you are not using CSVI 6 Pro beta, in that case you can uninstall the plugin. [quote]Only problem here is i can not import/update cherrypicker fields[/quote]Do you even have any tables that start with vm_producttype_?
That will not solve the issue, CSVI doesn't have your domain name as it is not set in CSVI. As I said, CSVI gets the domain name from Joomla. You will really have to check your site why it reports the wrong domain name.
Good morning, Please update CSVI to the latest version as well, which is 6.0.1. That should work without a problem on the latest Joomla version. You can read the announcement of CSVI 6 in the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/news/1075-csvi-6-pro-has-arrived]CSVI 6 Pro has arrived[/url] article. Setting up a cron job in CSVI 6 is explained in the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1081-setting-up-a-cron-job2]Setting up a cron job tutorial[/url].
That is how I got the error I mentioned about unreadable file. Here it is as you suggested: [img]http://www.kittmaster.com/imagedump/csvi/Originalpath.png[/img] [img]http://www.kittmaster.com/imagedump/csvi/Loaded.png[/img] [img]http://www.kittmaster.com/imagedump/csvi/Failed.png[/img]
Hello, [quote]Thank you so much. Order status is working ok, but shipment and payment information is still missing[/quote] You don't need virtuemart_paymentmethod_id and virtuemart_shipmentmethod_id in your import file. Just import payment_element and shipment_element and CSVI will automatically update the equivalent ids of these payment_element and shipment_element. [quote]Thanks for the patch but the website I'm exporting from is using Joomla 2.5 and CSVI free. Target website is using CVSI 7.3.0. How can I do this then?[/quote] We don't support CSVI free version. What you can do is when you are creating orders you can retain the same order id as in your VM 2 database. Add virtuemart_order_id to your order export in VM 2 site and in your new site where you are doing order import, in your import template on Option tab set Keep Order ID to Yes. CSVI will create orders with same id as in your import file. Now in your order items export you can add field virtuemart_order_id instead of order_number and import it in your new site. Since the order id is same as your old database linking your order items will be done to the same order id. Hope it is clear.
Hello, It looks like some extension is blocking CSVI to run. Check the firewall extensions like Admin tools/ RSFirewall or any kind of this extension and whitelist CSVI. You can also look at your .htaccess file and see if its blocking CSVI.
Hello, It looks like something has gone wrong with your CSVI installation, the error you have posted says that there is a missing field in CSVI table in your database. Can you uninstall and install CSVI again and see if issue gets solved?
* VirtueMart version: 3.0.10 * CSVI version: 6.2.0 I've already finished uploading several imports and no problems but I have this recurring issue of values shown differently. Attached is a screenshot. File being uploaded is CSV and is UTF-8. No debug log as I get this on preview and I normally cancel this. I've also attached the file I want to upload. Hoping for a solution on this. Thanks in advance!
Hello, [quote]Here is my csv category file - akvamirspb.ru/site/temp/cat1.csv How do I edit it?[/quote] The file you sent still has fields category_full_image and category_thumb_image. I guess you have replaced these fields to file_url and file_url_thumb in the import file you used. So checking your file in CSVI Analyser shows that you have category_full_image and category_description as text in your rows instead of image name and actual description. Check the screenshot attached. You can check your file yourself using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyser[/url] to see what i am talking about. You need to replace these values so your image gets imported correct. [quote]I've attached screenshots of Products and Categories[/quote] You product page screenshot shows that product has been assigned to a category, check the product category column in screenshot. For your categories showing products as 0, look for a category for which you have assigned products in your import. For example take the first product in your products page screenshot, use the category name in search filter in VirtueMart product categories page. Do you see the products then?

Hello, The latest version of CSVI is 6.6.4, not sure why you have installed the old version as we don't support it any more. You can find the latest version package on CSVI site Downloads page.

Hi ! A slightly off-beat question maybe but I can't see any sign it's been asked before. I've migrated a website from Joomla 1.5 to 3.4.8, and the last bit is to install CSVI. On the old site there are a bunch of templates/exports that the current admins use to download Virtuemart order info etc. I've installed CSV Pro on the new site and I need to give the same functionality - is it possible to migrate these CSV templates over or do I need to work out what they all do and re-create them by hand ? Any tips appreciated ! David
[hr][hr]Greetings, I'm having some issues when I try to import items to K2, for some reason the images aren't importing to its respecting item. The process I've been following to import an image is: [ul] [li]Uploading the image to the server in the following path: media/k2/items/src/MYIMAGE.jpg[/li] [li]Including the name of the image file in the Image column of the CSV file.[/li] [/ul] But after importing the CSV file, The K2 item appears with no image and the file that I've uploaded to the server dissapears. Info: K2 v2.7.1 CSVI Pro 7.2.3
Hey Andy, You can use the way you are asking with the custom_title etc. fields. The debug log is empty but which VM version and CSVI version are you using? The custom_value field should be no longer present as the field has been renamed to customfield_value. Are these fields Grape Type, ABV etc. fields of the type Custom Filters plugin? If that is the case, you will need a different CSV setup. See the tutorial for [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/203-virtuemart/1047-custom-fields-for-all-for-virtuemart]Custom fields for All[/url] on how to setup the CSV file.
Hello, The eshop component is not supported by CSVI, only VirtueMart and HikaShop are supported. [quote]Do you have a csv template (csv file) to give me which will make me able to complete it with the informations of my e-shop[/quote]If you are looking for an example file, have a look at the documentation [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/203-virtuemart/804-import-virtuemart-products]Import VirtueMart products[/url]. Another good way is to create one product by hand in VirtueMart and export it, so you can see what the fields look like.
Hi there, Can someone please help me with these 3? 1) Setting this thing up again I've forgotten how to run a rule that makes all words start with a capital letter. For example, "the brown cow" needs to read "The Brown Cow". I see cap first letter but not this option. 2) I can't recall how to run a comma buster rule that removes strips/every comma. IE, "It's a lovely, stunning, and beautiful day today, isn't it?" to output "It's a lovely stunning and beautiful day today isn't it?" 3) Finally, is there a way to make the .csv download a CSV (Comma delimited).csv not a CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited).csv file? The latter always fowls up the import into our shipping software whereas saving the file first as the former eliminates this. Many thanks and kind regards, Monica CSVI Pro 7.10.0 PHP 7.2 Joomla! 3.9.1 VirtueMart 3.4.2
Hello, [quote]Call to undefined method CsviControllerAvailableFields::hasRedirect()[/quote]This means you have a mix of old and new CSVI files in your installation. Uninstall CSVI, Install CSVI and then install the VirtueMart addon, update the available fields and try your import again.
The table availabletables is needed as well, we can leave that. Let's do a bit more, uninstall CSVI Pro, install CSVI Pro and install CSVI VirtueMart addon. Update the available fields after that, let's see if you get a better field list.
Hello Adam, Thank you for trying out CSVI 6 beta 1 Pro. Are you installing this on a clean installation, as in other words, not earlier installed CSVI on this site? Are you using MySQL as the database? Can you check if you uninstall CSVI and remove all the tables starting with csvi, so you have a clean site and then install again, does the error happen again?
Hello Kostas, You get no rows whatsoever? If that is the case, then it is clear why CSVI can't update, there is no update channel at all. See if it helps if you install the VirtueMart addon, uninstall CSVI and then install CSVI and then install the VirtueMart addon. After that check again if you get any output. The update sites table should have an entry before you can update CSVI.
Hello, Strange issue, i don't see this error on VirtueMart price export with CSVI 7.4.1 version. I see that you are also running the same version but what about your CSVI VirtueMart addon version? Is it updated to latest 7.4.1 version? To know that go to Extension Manager >> Manage and in the search box type CSVI, look for CSVI Pro - VirtueMart and post a screenshot on the version.
Hello, You can backup and restore your templates in CSVI. To backup your template go to CSVI maintenance menu, select CSVI Pro in the first option, Backup templates in the second option. Select the templates you need and click on continue. Your templates will be downloaded in the form of an XML file. Now to restore the template, again go to CSVI maintenance menu, select CSVI Pro in the first option, restore templates in the second option. Select the XML file you just downloaded and click continue. Your template should be restored and available.
Hello Tony, [quote]Another question (I'm sure you are sick if me by now) I also have gift items without custom fields. Can I add these using a separate csv?[/quote] You don't have to create a separate csv file, you can add those in same csv file and leave custom_title and custom_value empty. This way CSVI knows there are no custom fields for that product. [quote]Once again, thank you for fixing what I have struggled with for days!![/quote] Glad to know i was able to help you solve your issues. Would appreciate if you can give us a review on [url=http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/data-import-a-export/19746]Joomla extension directory[/url].
Hello, You don't seem to have installed CSVI customfieldsforall plugin extension. You need to have this extension installed so CSVI can process your custom fields for customfieldsforall. Download this extension from CSVI downloads page, install and enable it and then run the import.
Hello Kostas, Please make sure you have added your download id as explained in the document [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/917-how-to-enable-updates-in-csvi]How to enable updates in CSVI[/url] before doing update to CSVI.
Hello Arnaud, The database issue you seems to come from a very broken installation, no idea how this happened though in your installation. It seems to come from a very old installation that was present in the database. Apparently you have CSVI installed, so if you go to Maintenance and choose CSVI Pro from the first dropdown and then Remove CSVI tables. This will remove all CSVI tables and data. After that you are taken to the Joomla Extension Manager and you can uninstall CSVI. After the uninstallation has completed you can install CSVI again and you should have a clean installation with all tables in place. Let me know how that goes.
Hello, I will need all the information requested under [b]Looking for a useful answer[/b], the debug log is not included. One thing I can tell you is that your CSV file contains a number of fields no longer supported by VM 3, so CSVI won't import them. Just keep category_path and category_description, these fields should import. You can add more fields as needed after that.
Hello, i'm trying to import a database delivered in xml from our delivery partner to virtuemart3.0. How can i make it so csv improved checks the field and parses it to multiple values in that field. For example: sees that color uses , as seperator and fill this as multiple values for the specific produkt sku table. Also for clothing_size the seperator is / so it should fill 2 custom fields with clothing size. And genre (i use the catagory field in the xml table for this). I am trying to import to custom field genre with multiple choices in it, seperated with , black,pink S/M So 3 things, special genre import procedure, special colors one and special clothing_size Current csvi template http://paste.thezomg.com/15907/91979051/ Current csvi tablefields http://paste.thezomg.com/15909/41919876/ Multiple fields combine sql http://paste.thezomg.com/15910/41919993/ and example xml http://paste.thezomg.com/15908/91980451/ Greetings, Jan Willem password in the example csvi is fake :)
I agree, that's why I suggested a maintenance feature :) I have several customers who can use Joomla, Virtuemart and even CSVI, can build a CSVI template, do export-import, etc but they always ask me to do something because their import is very slow (~1000-5000 products in the CSV). So I have to add the index manually or install my custom plugin which checks it but maybe other users don't have this knowledge so a mainentance process with a warning could be useful for them. Or even a "remove index" option too. There are also mainenance processes in CSVI which modify the database content and can do unexpected results if you use it wrong, like "empty database", "clean media files", "unpublish products by category", "remove product prices" etc. And actually you suggest to do this to speed up the import: https://csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/1159-speed-up-product-import
Hello Simon, Once CSVI 6 stable is out, I will have some more time to look into this. Since all extensions are pluggable in CSVI 6, it can be released without having to release a new CSVI version. So that makes it all more flexible.
Hello Mark, Starting with CSVI 7.0 version CSVI Replace plugin has been replaced with CSVI Multi replace plugin and so it has not been updated. If you have any replace rules added to your templates it will still work with Replace plugin in there.
Hello, Make sure you have installed the CSVI VirtueMart addon as well. You can find it in the Downloads -> CSVI Extensions.
Hello Peter, The CSVI 6 version is not all that far anymore, it is running on a couple of sites for testing and things are looking good. There is a number of things I have yet to do, that is testing all the import and export routines. That is a lot of work. There will also be basic HikaShop support in CSVI 6 :) The last challenge is to come up with a converter for CSVI 5 to CSVI 6.
Hi rolandd, in one of my CSV files categories may contain the "/" character in its text. Categories exists in the CSV files as 5 separate columns (level 1 to level 5). So I changed the combine character at the rule to "|" and also the category separator in the options of the template to this character. That works - partially! The preview shows the correct category path and the products are imported. Categories are created but not as a path but each category as main category. Because of this the list of categories shows 0 products for the categories. Is this a feature, a faulty use of CSVI or a bug? Best Romana
Hello, The error says that you are missing a required field usergroup_name field in your import file. You need to add it to your import file so the error is gone. Also your csv file has id field which is not needed and can be removed. CSVI will identify users using email and usergroup_name field. If id field is found in the import file CSV will only do an update to user records and no new users will be added. This is because id is primary key field of a database table and it says that user is already present in the database records.
Hello Roland, I solved a problem about thumb sizes, they are a cause of template and imaged sizes. The template in Joomla 1 was not responsive and the template that I use in Joomla 3 are responsive. This make some problems also if the image size are not the same in all images. I say that because when I solved this the prices appears ok. Then, as you say, is not a CSVI importation problem :) About the other problem (The VM not find the category images and they are in a correct location) you ask me about the debug log and CSV file that I used for import I don't find it. It is not generated. But the images are yet in a location and I think I only must to writte the route without processing the images. I configure the import template like this: Fields: file_url_thumb (Only this because the other information are yet imported ok) Primary language: Spanish Translation language: Spanish General option images: All in "No". (No processing images) File image location: images/stories/virtuemart/category/resized/ It's ok? Two questions more: - In the Joomla 1.5.26 to 1.1.9 VM had the Catalan language translated with Joomfish. Now with Joomla 3 there is the multi-language concept but I don'tknow how to migrate Catalan translations from Joomla 1&VM1 to Joomla 3 & VM3. In CSVI PRO Joomla now appears the "primary language" option and "Translation Language" but I don't know how works. It's possible configurate this option to import the joomfish translation or that must be do manually? -In CSVI Pro I see import options to Virtuemart that I can't find in CSVI for Joomla 1. For exemple, I can't find the files "Product_high", "Product width" to import that from csv file exported from Joomla 1 to Joomla 3. Excuse my English, I hope you can understand me. I would say they are fields that I can import in the last version of CSVI PRO, but maybe this is not possible to do because I can't generate this files with CSVI in Joomla 1. Many thanks and kind regards
Hello Roland, Thanks for your support, I avoided any use of _id fields but still have the same problem. I am using: CSVI Pro 7.2.3 Export: Joomla! 3.6.5 and VirtueMart 3.2.0 (old site) Import: Joomla! 3.7.5 and VirtueMart 3.2.4 (old site) Best regards, Sam [attachment]CSVI_Categories export_14-09-2017_16.26.csv[/attachment] [attachment]com_csvi.log.17 -- Import.zip[/attachment] [attachment]com_csvi.log.7 -- Export.zip[/attachment]
Hello, I used csvi template to import Virtuemart Product with csvi 5.18 on Joomla 2.5. I go to Joomla 3.5 and I installed CSVI Pro 6.4.2. Is it a way to export and import my templates on Joomla 3.5? Many thanks for your help. Raphael
I understand what you are saying. Not sure how you installed CSVI 6 first but let's try this. First make a backup or test on a test site. Uninstall CSVI 5 and remove the table csvi_settings, now try to install CSVI 6. Does that work?
Hello, There were some fixes done to CSVI core package and so it is a version ahead. But your error shows that you are running a very old version of CSVI VirtueMart addon. Do you have CSVI VirtueMart addon 7.2.0 version running on your site?
Hello Lisa, Yes, you still need to install the addon. You can find the VirtueMart addon [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-2-0]in the CSVI Pro Extensions page[/url]. After that is installed you will see VirtueMart in the list. Don't forget to run the Update Available fields after installation so CSVI can read your VirtueMart fields.
Hello, Running import with your template and import file gets the images for me. So something i noticed from your previous post is that you are using CSVI 7.3.0 version, can you update your CSVI to latest 7.4.1 version and try the import? Don't forget to update your CSVI VirtueMart addon to 7.4.1 version. Let me know if your images gets imported after the CSVI update.
I have 100's of images that have been uploaded via FTP into subfolders within images/store directory, ready for matching to products in a J2Store I want to export a list of all these images from the images/store directory into a csv file - Can this be done with CSVi? Please let me know I have missed something and thing can be done. Thanks in advance, Andy
Thank you, Roland - you were right: I am using CSVI 5 Pro and there's no reason why it wouldn't work. I made a mistake in my CSV-file (an unnecessary comma), after correcting it, everything's fine. The strange thing was that there was no debug log - the import ended with Result: Success and Status: Updated (without adding related products). But everything's ok now and my client will be happy ... :-)
Hello Thurana, Thank you, that seems to have solved the problem. I suppose it will included in the next upgrade? About your second reply: I am aware of that. However, this is not a fresh import, but a correctional one. The CSV file is built from a CSVI export file, indeed to avoid ID problems. Please let me know if my reasoning is still not correct. Have a very nice day!
Hello, [quote]Would this work ok to import - i.e. does your system automatically find the category_name from the category_path and identify the category ID for import - or do I need to manually correlate this in the CSV file prior to importing?[/quote] Yes, you just need to give the category_path for a product and CSVI will find the corresponding category ID and insert in database. You dont need category_name field here.
Don't just say it doesn't work but describe in detail what is happening and add the following information: * Version of the extension you are using [b][color=red]CSVI and CSVI Pro - VirtueMart 7.0.2[/color][/b] * CSVI version (Latest is not a version number) [b][color=red]CSVI and CSVI Pro - VirtueMart 7.0.2[/color][/b] * Sample of the file being imported [b]attachment[/b] * A copy of the template you are using. Use the maintenance menu to create a backup of your template [b]attachment[/b] * Collected debug information [b]attachment[/b]
Hello, Did you also update the CSVI Pro addon? Only updating the component will lead to this error. After updating the component, you also need to update the CSVI Pro extension for the component you are using CSVI with. That is the first thing you can check.
See the document [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url]
Hello, Your screenshot shows that you have CSVI 6.5.2 version. This issue was fixed in CSVI 6.5.7 and fix is available in all versions after that. You need to first update your CSVI to latest version to see the Fix Menu button in about us page. Also after update, you need to resave the existing menu items so you dont see the com-csvi-about in your URLs.
CSVI Pro 7.2.3 virtuemart 3.2.2 Joomla 3.7.2 Hello, My CSV file uses 2 fields for the ean code. Can i join this two fields? EAN PREFIX and ARTICLENUMBER joined is the EAN then there is a field CATEGORY_PATH wich looks like this: ['Keukenartikelen', 'Potten & pannen', 'Specials', 'Gourmetpan'] Can this also be imported together with the article? So Potten & pannen is the child of Keukenartikelen Specials is the child of Potten & pannen and so on. The image field looks like this: ['110126_2017.jpg'] Shall i better strip the [' '] before importing? or is there a trick csvi can handle this. A lot of questions at onces. if you like me to split the questions of course that is no problem regards, Marcel Lucassen
Hello, my customer would like to work in the following way: - export all products with all available fields - open that export file in Excel - apply changes and additions to this Excel sheet - save that sheet - re-import that file This seems to be a reasonable wish, but very complicated (if not impossible) to achieve with CSVI. I've been able to set up the required templates to assure a match between the fields. But I don't seem to be able to use delimiters that are a)good for Excel (; and ") and b)not included in the data (the customer uses ; and " in his data) and c)good for a re-import. If I save the altered data from Excel in a CSV file I end up with a file that has double "" and confusion with ; So is there an easy way to export/import Virtuemart products using CSVI and Excel in together and if so is there a tutorial? Virtuemart version 3.0.8 CSVI Pro: 5.21.2 Thanks and best regards Petra
:unsure: Hi! I'm having weird troubles getting my product import to work properly and not leave anything out. I've added shoe sizes using custom_title and custom_value separated with ~ I've also go product descriptions under product_desc and I even changed all commas to dashes incase CSVI mistook them as separators. BUT... neither the product descriptions or size options are showing up on the frontend, am I missing something??? knowing me it'll be something small quick and easy which is embarrassing but I really do need to get this sorted please! Joomla 3.3.6 Virtuemart 3.0.2 CSVI Pro 5.2 Attached is part of my CSV file which I'm trying to import my domain is - www.newrockboots.com.au and to check an example of one which is uploaded via csv - https://newrockboots.com.au/shop-online/oxido-collection/m-391-c3-detail Please help! my site has been down for months after being hacked and has cost me a fortune to get back up online :(
Apparently there is a CSVI VirtueMart Handbook! (http://www.csvimproved.com/en/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=32210) I've been reading the forum for days, trying things, learning ... and am now only marginally the wiser. Very frustrating not finding answers. I think I really need a Handbook. I'm having trouble with migrating orders - Order dates, name & email don't seem to be present after importing, but are present in the csv file. Apart from that, the orders are importing. I had previously figured out how to import users. Only took me all day! So many questions ... but maybe if there is a handbook, then it would be good to read that. Can you send it to me please? But I've included the debug log, and the import csv file, since you seem to require it, but I don't think I need you to solve this. I just need some info on how to migrate orders. from: J2.5.16 (vm 2.6.17) to: J3.4.1 (vm 3.0.8) csvi: 5.21.2 Thanks Anthony
Yes I read, but I havent't got a CSVI Pro component in joomla because the installation failed. The component didn't create (it was a totally fresh install):( "If you are missing available fields it is best to do a clean up of the system Go to Components -> CSVI Pro Select Tasks from the Maintenance menu in CSVI Click on Reset and confirm that you are sure you want to reset the tasks Select Available Fields from the Maintenance menu in CSVI Click on Update Once the update has completed, CSVI has been cleaned up"" thanks for help!
Hi, I've just installed CSVI version 7.6.1 and a virtuemart extension version 7.6.0, it's my first time using CSVI but I've watched a lot of tutorials so I could use it properly. Also my Joomla! version is 3.8.7 At the time of doing an export (after creating my template which consists of only a product_name, category_name and product_price) the csv file that I download doesn't contain any data of the "product_name" and "category_name" only the "product_price" is filled. I tried with different fields, and I also noticed that the product_sku get filled meanwhile others don't. In my virtuemart product panel I can clearly see all of this fields showing up. I've done all the steps mentioned in [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/getting-started ]getting started[/url] from resetting tasks to updating available fields... I spent hours trying to resolve it... I've attached all the files required : CSV file : [attachment]CSVI_Product_export_29-04-2018_10.29.csv[/attachment] Template backup file : [attachment]csvi_templates_kwikfixmobile.com_20180429.xml[/attachment] And since the debug file is too large I've put it here [url=http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=35932230903816885378]debug file[/url]. Thank you for your help.
Hello, CSVI cannot be used for a regular sitemap. CSVI is focused on specific import and export parts. A sitemap is site-wide focused, it will need parts from all around the system. There are specific sitemap extensions that will do a much better job than CSVI will. Of course, you can write you own sitemap export which contains all the logic needed for creating a sitemap :) That is the extensibility CSVI offers.
Hello Chris, [quote]Is this normal? [/quote]I hope not :silly: So I tried your CSV file and the preview is instant here, as expected with such a small file. Does it happen every time and with any file? If so, I am thinking that maybe there is an issue with the folder permissions. You can check the About page to see if there is any permission issue with the folders CSVI uses.
[quote]and the reason that this happens?[/quote]because you haven't set any SKU for the product. You will need to have a unique code for the product to be able to identify it, otherwise CSVI has no clue how to update/add products. [quote]or i should manually set a unique value in csv file after exporting it?? [/quote]It should only be done once, so that products can be identified.
Hello Sigrid, Looking at the log, CSVI can't find the existing price. I see you are using CSVI 6.3.0 but are you also using the CSVI addon version 6.3.0? It seems that this one is not updated. Your file is correct assuming the shopper group is set to *.
Hello, Did you also install CSVI VirtueMart addon? If not, you can download and install this extension from downloads page on CSVI site. After install run the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]update of available fields[/url].

Hello, You must be missing CSVI addon plugin for Virtuemart. Install this extension by finding it in our CSVI site and in downloads page.

Today I'm struggling with parent and child products. I have created a special field for the child products(generic child variant) named "uitvoering". When I import the csv all I see is "select an option" and I cant't select anything. When I take a look at the special field tab in the product page in virtuemart it looks OK. When I remove the special field(uitvoering) in the product page and select it manually it works like it should work. When I overwrite it with the CSV it's back to the old situation.

Hello, Check that you installed the VirtueMart addon [b]after[/b] installing the CSVI Pro component. If you still don't see it, please follow the steps outlined in the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url].
Hello, The new Multi Variant feature is not yet supported by CSVI. This will be made available in CSVI 6 Pro available later this month.
Hello, You don't seem to have the latest version of CSVI, update your CSVI version to 6.5.7 as this issue was fixed in this version.
Hi, I would like to know with any plug-ins for working csvi vituemart? And to be precise whether csvi with Stockable Custom Fields?
I just want to say [b]"what a great program"[/b] Reason for this, creating a Facebook store CSV. Using the CSVI Replace rule you create the perfect link to your images.

[attachment]01de1a42edee78fbebfcbf3def6e5eb2[/attachment]Attempted to import 20,000+ line CSV file. This file was exported from a database on a local hardrive. Some SKUs are duplicated dut to different suppliers having the same number for differing items. This is not an issue on the website because items on the website database have unique SKUs. The file attached is to be imported so that I can update the items on the website in one operation as opposed to exporting from the website,then matching both the local and exported files. I have already looked for a solution on the forums (see screenshot), but it seems that there is another issue probably to do with the spreadsheet but I am not sure. I could cut up the file into smaller blocks, e.g 2500 lines and then home in the un-detected duplicate, but that is only a stop-gap solution. Is there any other way to detect duplicate SKUs? Attached are the files. ALL_SKU_PURE.csv is the cleaned non-duplicate SKU file after deleting duplicates Screenshot of Forum solution for similar issue Screenshot of CSV and Joomla versions PHPmyAdmin SQL query PHPmyAdmin SQL with null result CSV file with duplicates,and formula to expose the duplicates (OpenOffice) CSVI Preview of import template CSVI Duplicate Primary Error Error Log Template
Hello, It seems you did not do a clean install of CSVI 6 and the update has not been completed. First thing you can try is go to Components -> CSVI Pro -> About and click the Fix Database button. If that does not work you will need to [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] and install the component and VirtueMart addon again. So you have a clean setup.
Hello, I am not talking about CSVI HikaShop addon extension but the actual Hikashop extension itself. CSVI reads the fields from HikaShop tables so to add them as available fields but in your case, CSVI could not find the HikaShop tables and so the error "....not an available table".
Hello Günther, Let's handle the different issues one at a time. [quote]But I did not find any new fields with Size and Color.[/quote]That is because they are of a special type. You seem to have mixed up a few things. Looking at your screenshot, you are using Multi-Variants. In your CSV file you say to CSVI, the name of my custom field is [b]Multi Variant[/b] but in your list of custom fields I don't see this custom field at all. Further you tell CSVI that you want to use one ramification called Color but I don't see the color column in your CSV file. Have a look at the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/de/support/import/203-virtuemart/1064-importing-multi-variant-custom-field]Multi Variant tutorial[/url] for more details. [quote]CSVI has big problems with german special characters, like ö or ß in the word for size (Größe) when used as a parameter for multi variant products. If I take the english words, my tests work fine.[/quote]Without a debug log I can't say much but there shouldn't be an issue with UTF-8 characters. [quote]PS With the full parent file and german words for Size and Color (Größe / Farbe) a got a system crash, because csvi copied the system on and on in the temp directory.[/quote]This can happen for two different reasons. The tmp path in the Joomla configuration is not set to the full path or if the template has not been saved twice and because of that the source details are not stored correctly.
Hello, No new features are being added to CSVI 5 anymore as CSVI 6 is the main version. If you plan to keep using CSVI 5, the only way would be to use a cron job to download the file regularly. You can download the file manually and put it on the server or use the file upload to load it into CSVI. This is recommended anyway when testing, otherwise you need to download the file on every try.
Hello, The only thing I can think of is that some kind of caching is happening where the URLs were generated with CSVI and only after that loaded by VirtueMart. Now that the com-csvi-about is gone and you re-install CSVI, the URLs should still be fine I think.
Joomla! 3.4.8 CVI PRO 6.5.0 When I try to import products with same name but different sku, csvi has a limit generating alias for new product Duplicate entry 'collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-10' for key 'slug' SQL=INSERT INTO `wer9i_virtuemart_products_it_it` (`virtuemart_product_id`,`slug`) VALUES (40992, 'collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-10') Infact in my store there are products with these aliases: collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-10, collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-7, collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-5, collana-cosmo-supplementi-1-3 So when csvi arrives to 1-10 end to generate different alias and goes in that error It adds products with same name up to a certain number (please see csvi_error_alias attached) If you eneter in my csvi you can start IMPORTAZIONE ALBI ERRORE ALIAS and AGGIORNA VENDUTI ERRORE ALIAS templates using default source file. You will notice the error. It is a problem present in two import template. Can we solve it? thanks
Hello, [quote]So If i update CSVI Pro with latest version then it will work for me ? i am working with 6.5.7 csvi pro version. please let me know if it work with latest version then i will update. after update with latest version what we have to do ? I want tab separator csv and it is also working but for image can you please make tab separator.[/quote] Just by updating to latest version your tab is not going to work. I said you to update so you can use a new feature we have added to override files. By overriding files you can write your own code in CSVI files, this way you can customise the file_url output you are getting on export. Please have a look at the document i linked in my previous post. [quote]My create template have Field Delimiter t and Text Enclosure " can you please check.[/quote] Yes, i have already checked this.
Hello, You can download the VirtueMart addon from the Download section under [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-6-2]CSVI Extensions[/url]. After downloading, don't forget to install it, after that you will see VirtueMart as an option as well.
Hi, i am xporting my categories and content with the latest csvi version and cannot import them to my new site What i am trying to do is to delete old site and build a new one hence i need my categories and articles when i didi my test on a test site i wasnt able to get csvi to import the file generated at any form i tried csv,xml, and html always to get the same answer "Error There is a problem with the import file" can any one help i attached the files produce by exporting from my current site( primary language is greek) PS: the exports and imports are done with the templates and not custom ones!
good morning! I created an ecommerce site (www.smar-tech.it, I'm italian) using: - joomla 3.5.1 - virtuemart 3.0.16 - csvi pro 6.6.0 My product catalog has more than 40,000 items (file .csv of 130Mb) and should be updated to 2 times per week. I already created the template that allows me to import the price list in virtuemart and working properly. I wanted to know if there is an automatic method that allows CSVI to compare the old with the new price list, eliminating the products that are not produced by us and instead updating the same products. I hope I have explained properly what I would do, and thank you all for the answers. Attached is an extract of the catalog that I have to be imported.
Hello Rolandd, yes, that sentence I did read :-) But I do not know what that means. Do I have to write a plugin for CSVI, or is there a field available which could manage it. Or more simpler asked: How can I join two tables? I am practiced with the custom fields and sql and I have a query which does a table LEFTJOIN for a complete csv for a special export of more than the available fields of (for e.g.) included order-products, -users and so on. So now I try to realize an based sql statement (which is including 2 or more tables) and I do not get it to work with CSVI :-) Please point me a direction. Best regards, Pierre.
Hello Chris, [quote]First of all - is Hikashop fully supported by CSVI Pro 6?[/quote]Depends on what you qualify as fully :) There is a product, category and customer import available at the moment. A few more exports are available as well. The reason you don't find any tutorials is because I haven't written them yet. The product export tutorial is planned for this weekend. [quote]Are all of them supported in CSVI Pro 6?[/quote]Custom fields are not yet supported. I have attached my test CSV file for HikaShop. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. The HikaShop import works the same way as the VirtueMart import, it's just that HikaShop has different field names.
I updated with the template normally to CSVI Pro 5.2 and all my products were proccesed correctly with images. After late update to CSVI Pro 5.3 images won't be prossesed and default no image appears to all. Can i go back to the CSVI Pro 5.2 and work normally?
Hello, You also need to install the addon you want to use CSVI with, in your case I guess that is VirtueMart: www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-2-0 After that is installed, you can find VirtueMart as part of the components as well.
Hello Roland, I just create a new K2 item as usual and it is linked to a menu item Its URL should be: http://www.exoticlovesexshop.mx/404 But I got this string "com-csvi-about" on the URL http://www.exoticlovesexshop.mx/com-csvi-about/404 I have a very similar site where I'm not using CSVI and its working fine http://www.cervezaartesanalmexicana.mx/404 Why do I get "com-csvi-about" on the URL??? Thanks!
I've just installed CSVI 7 on Joomla 3.6.5 I've tryed to click on "Fix Menu" from the "About" CSVI Menu Item. Now the Component Joomla Menu is like the image attached.

Hello Ray, Glad to hear you are liking CSVI :) [quote]The software works great (with a few core files modifications ;) )[/quote]You mean CSVI or Product Builder? In case the answer is CSVI, which core hacks did you make? The reason you can't find a CSVI Import addon for Product Builder is because we didn't build one. All I can promise is that I will look into this and see what can be done.
Hello guys, On the Downloads page you see the CSVI Pro Extensions, click that, here you can find all the extensions that CSVI Pro supports. Here is the [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-2-0]direct link[/url] where you can find the extensions. VirtueMart is in that list as well, just install the plugin as a regular Joomla extension and you will find it in your list.
Hello, It looks like you are having the old tables of your CSVi install and so re install did not help. Can you do the following? 1. Uninstall CSVI by going to Joomla Extensions >> Manage >> Search for CSVI in filter box 2. Go to your site PHPMyAdmin, select your database and look for tables starting with #__csvi (#__ is your table prefix) and delete all of those tables. 3. Do a fresh install of CSVI.
Hello, In that case you don't need to add your available fields, you can use [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/915-csvi-field-mapper]CSVI field mapper[/url] functionality. Map the fields from your import file to CSVI available fields and do the import.
Please post your debug log as asked at the top of the page. Did you also install the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-3-0]custom filters add-on[/url] so that CSVI knows how to handle your extension fields?
Hello, [quote] I can not find the CSVI database field in my Joomla database[/quote]You would need to see tables starting with X_csvi_xxxx where X is your table prefix and xxxx are the different table names CSVI uses. They should be in your database otherwise CSVI won't function.

Hello. The csv list is being read in the preview. But after pressing 'start import' nothing happens. No items are being imported. Last server response indicator keeps counting up unti 300 (I think) and then the operation is stopped. There is no errors being displayed. I don't know how to debug this fault. Can you please assist me? * Installed Joomla version 3.8.12 * CSVI Pro 7.7.1 * PHP Version 7.0.32

Any plans for a J2Store plugin for CSVi anytime in the future? Just starting to play about with using J2Store & one thing its lacking is CSVi ;)
CSVI 4.4 is the version that the old site has...the site from where i want to export products into my new site with csvi 6
Forgot to mention in my previous reply that you are not using the latest CSVI version, would recommend to update your CSVI to latest 7.1.0 version.
I see all the help text message as soon as the templates are opened, but this only happens for the templates that come with the default CSVi install. Virtuemart templates don't show these help messages. I installed CSVi in another/separate J3.4.3 site, that has never had CSVi installed in the past & set up the same export template. This also only has the default CVSI install - no addition addon's. See setup screenshot below I selected; Action > Export Component Joomla Users Operation > User Initially there was no help messages showing in the template, but upon saving, all the help messages showed up I also set up an export for Just joomla categories (In this new/test site) & get this error when trying to just export categories field? [i][b]Error Unknown column 'Com_CategoriesModelExportCategory' in 'order clause' SQL=SELECT `c`.`path` FROM `hbxys_categories` AS `c` WHERE asset_id > 0 GROUP BY Com_CategoriesModelExportCategory ORDER BY Com_CategoriesModelExportCategory[/b][/i] [i]Only similarity here is that both sites are on the same siteground VPS [/i] [attachment]ScreenShot2015-09-15at14.58.17.png[/attachment]
Hi, I am using J3.4.3 CSVI Pro 6.1.0 File. I used same number of fields and same orders in export and import template. I just exported successfully and trying to modify and import the same file.

I am getting following error while uploading "[b]No supported fields have been found in the import file[/b]" I am attaching the file i made after getting it from export.
Hi, We have joomla 3.6.2 and when trying to install CSVI 6.6.4 we receive the attached message. the csvi version 5.21.2 installs fine. Thanks,
Hello Seema, Can you tell us which version of PHP, Joomla, CSVI, and VirtueMart you are using? Also version of your CSVI VirtueMart addon.
Hi Roland, with the release of beta6r1 CSVI I have problem importing custom_param for customfield plugin vm2tags, as discussed in [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/es/forum?view=topic&catid=24&id=31783]this[/url] thread. The customfield is properly connected to the product, but the field custom_param is not updated. I know that CSVI does not support VM2tags, but it could be a issue of CSVI? My system: CSVi 6.0pro rc1; joomla 3.4.1; virtuemart 3.0.9 Regard, Francesco.
Hello, [quote]CSVI first translates the language override (which btw is done wrongly, it doesn't respect the language you have chosen),[/quote] This statement is wrong. CSVI does not do any language translations. [quote]Is there any way to tell csvi to do the replacement before the translation? [/quote] Language override texts are stored in the language file in Joomla and not in database. CSVI does not work on values stored in files but only on values from database.
Hello... I have exported in 2 csv files one for virtuemart categories and one for virtuemart products...

Hello, [quote]Definitely something has changed from the older version of VM and CSV, because I have an Hungarian site. In CSVI import template has English in option for language, not Hungarian. In VM the settings for languages are like this on the image, that i am sending. And I have no problems with the import and aliases.[/quote] Yes, the CSVI import template shows English in option because you have English language set in VirtueMart configuration. Import will be done to en_gb tables and alias is generated in english. [quote]And if I do the updates for this site, I will not be able to upload products in english tables anymore, because of the slugs and transliteration, and have to change many things, to import products in hungarian language, and so[/quote] Sorry but I dont understand the problem here. If you have english set in VirtueMart configuration and in language settings you will see English as an option in CSVI import template settings. You can do the import to english tables then and the slugs generated will be in english.
Hello, You need to download and install VirtueMart addon from here https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-2-0
HI tharuna, I thought that could exist a expression to do that! Another question: And about removing repeated words (we don’t know who they are or even if they exist), Does exist something that we can use? Like this: CSVI is great. I recommend CSVI. To This: CSVI is great. I recommend.

I purchased this extension so that I could easily import data from a csv file to an RSForm. All I get when trying to set import fields is: [i]No available fields found for import template for com_rsform and action 0. To update the list of available fields go to Available Fields and click on Update.[/i] Does CSVI actualy import to RSForms or not? If not, your website advertises that it works with RSForms.
Hey Don, Feeling much better thank you. As for the file you are importing, CSVI does not support xlsx file, so it must be xls or csv. I see in the debug log you imported an XLS file so that is all good. Now the debug log also shows that the image is stored without a problem. Do you have a link where I can see that the full image doesn't show?
Hello, That is the design of CSVI 5 in Joomla 3, nothing wrong with that. CSVI 6 is the new version that should be used, styling is more pleasing :)
Hello Davide, There is no direct way of skipping values less than 49 using Skip rule but it is possible by combining [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/2638-conditional-rule-plugin-for-export]CSVI Conditional rule[/url] and [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/2641-skip-rule-plugin]CSVI Skip rule[/url] plugins. Create first rule using CSVI conditional rule plugin where you check the value is less than 49 and replace the value with some standard value like say 1. This rule will replace all the values less than 49 to 1. Now create another rule using CSVI Skip rule plugin to skip all the values with 1. Apply the rule in the order like CSVI conditional rule first and then CSVI Skip rule.
Hello, You can install the sample templates by going to CSVI Maintenance menu >> Select CSVI Pro in first option >> Install example templates in second option.

Hello Don, The CSVI 6 zipfile is no different than the CSVI 5 zipfile. If the zip is automatically extracted, it is most likely because you are using a Mac and it auto-unzips it. The installation is just by uploading the zipfile of both the CSVI 6 component and the HikaShop addon via the extension manager.
I need to do a importation and I cant install the last version CSVI PRO. I had a old version of CSVI and the update give me error, so I unistall the old CSVI PRO and tried intall a new version, but it not install, the error is: Unknown column 'csvi_setting_id' in 'where clause' SQL=SELECT `params` FROM `#__csvi_settings` WHERE `csvi_setting_id` = 1 My version of Joomla is 3.6 How I can install again the CSVI Pro? So thanks
Hello Don, The version 6.1 Pro doesn't exist, so I assume you mean 6.0.1 and I assume you did download it because you posted that you can't install it. Looking at the error it seems you did not uninstall the old version of CSVI before installing CSVI 6. Have a look at the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or updating of CSVI 6 document[/url].
CSVI version - 6.5.7 I am not seeing product characteristics as an option for export in CSVI. I've updated my available fields and it did not come up.
Hello, CSVI does not send out any VirtueMart emails. It only does the database update itself. There is no way with CSVI to send out any emails.
Hello, This sounds like a conflict in your installation. Please uninstall CSVI via the extension manager and then install CSVI 6 again. That should solve the issue.
Hello, [quote]they have confirmed that the column 'custom_price' is longer used[/quote]I am aware of that as they have informed me as well of this change. The change has also been implemented in CSVI 5.20 Pro. So the question is which version of CSVI are you using? No need to start hacking CSVI ;)
Hello, After an import is finished CSVI triggers the onImportComplete function. We have [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-import-plugin]a sample plugin[/url] available in the downloads area. You would have to work this out to trigger or send your own emails as CSVI doesn't send out any emails.
Hello, If you have already updated to CSVI 6 version, you can backup templates by going to maintenance menu, select CSVI pro on first dropdown and then backup templates on the second option. Then you can uninstall CSVI completely, install new version and from same maintenance menu try restoring the template.
Good day I am a newbie to CSV I get the following You have not configured Joomla! to use the MySQLi database type, this is required to be able to run the export.

Just purchased CSV Improved 6.1.1.pro to upload products to my new virtuemart.3.0.9.4 on Joomla Joomla! 3.4.3. Now I am not a developer but can follow documentation. Where is the documentation for CSV Improved 3? All documentation applies to previous versions and just does not translate. I wish to Export the the installed VM with sample data, that way I can work on the required CSV file to import. Its all very well the documentation saying … Creating the template First we will create an export template in which we can store all our preference. Let's call the export page: • Go to Components • Go to CSVI / CSVI Pro • Click on Process But there is no Click on Process!

Hello, [quote]Yes, I am using latest version CSVI 7.6.2 version, and I checked that ''Enable logging'' is set to Yes.[/quote] Latest version is CSVI 7.7.0 and not 7.6.2 :) Your import file is not UTF-8 encoded.

Hello Eddie, Looking at the email output you get and not seeing CSVI being able to log you out, it tells me that CSVI is not being ran. Before the CSVI cron job starts it fires the system plugins, do you have any particular plugins running that may cause a redirect to happen?
Hello Rudolf, Can you confirm if you have installed CSVI RSForm addon extension? You can download this extension from CSVI site and in downloads page.

Hello, Which version of CSVI Pro are you using? It is actually not a problem from CSVI I see, I needed to jog my memory, but it is from VirtueMart. This is triggered by CSVI when it tries to retrieve the prices for a product. If you are not using the last version 5.21.1. please do an update first and check if that works for you. If it doesn't, let me know what you are exporting and which versions of Joomla, VM and CSVI you are using.
Roland, found a difference for the cronjobs, in CSVI 5 the path is dministrator/components/com_csvi/helpers/cron.php in CSVI 6 it is dministrator/components/com_csvi/helper/cron.php
Hi Tharuna Nothing in .htaccess that refers to csvi Is there any other way we can test what is causing the csvi to be blocked? Kind regards Tim
Hello, You need to install the CSVI VirtueMart addon on every site where you use CSVI. Once you install the addon, VirtueMart will appear in the list.
Hi, Joomla! 3.8.2 VirtueMart 3.2.4 CSVI pro 7.3.0 CSVI Import Custom Fields For All 7.4.1 Custom Fields for All 3.1.2 I installed all plugins and followed the instructions I found but it's not going as expected. In the VM custom fields, I created a new custom field -> plugins -> customfieldsforall and I added all available colors from all products and I added the label for 2 languages. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE: I would like to create csv files with products_sku, custom_title, custom_valie and custom_param and add available colors per product in this way. WHAT HAPPENS: At the import, the colors I added in the csv are added to the product but also ALL colors which I added into the custom fields in the beginning are showing on the product -> so lots of colors double + in the custom fieds, the colors I added to the product, are also added in the custom fields plugin, so there are the colors also double. What is the right way to import colors to the website? thanks in advance Geert
"Do know, you can't just update CSVI 5 to CSVI 6, you will need to do a clean installation." OK, where and how? Sorry, I'm confused :(
Hello, Since this is an English-only forum the answer will be in English so other users can read as well. Now the installation goes wrong as it looks like you have traces of an older CSVI installation installed. You can remove CSVI as described in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]Uninstall CSVI[/url] document and after that uninstall it from Joomla. After that you can do a clean install and all should be well.
VirtueMart version 3.0.16 CSVI version 6.5.7 Product and Media Import Virtuemart - I created a template to upload products with the product images. This template has the following fields (see csv file attached). The pictures I upload directly to the server (images / stories / virtuemart / product). Then I import everything with the template. This has so far worked, everything was imported, the images - perfect. Since the last update of the CSVI but unfortunately does not work anymore It does not work because the product data is displayed correctly, but the images no longer, before it worked. The file url is as before in the template images/stories/virtuemart/product/example.jpg but the images are no longer displayed after the upload, as before, the images are not uploaded. That's the problem. Kind regards Esther
Hello Dirk, Did you do a clean installation or an update from CSVI 5? If you uninstall CSVI and then install CSVI again and after that install the addon you need. Do you still get the same error? If so, please private message a Joomla and FTP login and I will have a look.
If you have english set in VirtueMart configuration and in language settings you will see English as an option in CSVI import template settings. You can do the import to english tables then and the slugs generated will be in english. Absolutely right - I have did this on 6 sites. But with old versions of VM, CSV and Joomla In new versions of everything i have the problem with slugs, for that I opened the topic here - if the language is English and the table in CSV is in english, when I do the import the slugs are not in english! the greek words are cutted off in the alias field, not transliterated. I did not have the same problem in other sites, although that I am using English language in VM and English language in CSV import table. Is it clear now?
Hello! I updated CSVI Pro and Joomla to the latest version, and now it seems to work with the latest version of CSVI Pro. Thank you for your support!
Hello Drees, [quote]The combination CSVI 7.30with Joomla 3.8.2 works fine.[/quote] Yes there was a compatibility issue with Joomla 3.8 and was fixed with CSVI 7.3.0 version.
Hello, [quote] I can only set one Operation option and that is: Custom tables. Is this normal? [/quote]That is normal if you choose CSVI as component. Looking at the CSV file you posted above you need to select VirtueMart as component. If you don't have that option, you probably didn't install the VirtueMart add-on. You would need to do that first so you have the product import (amongst others) available.

Hello, There is no problem with your CSVI installation but something has been changed in Joomla from 3.8.5 and 3.8.6 which is causing all these errors. This is problem only with CSVI About page and you can still use CSVI import/export and other functionalities. The About page issue will be addressed in our next release.
Hello, This is a new feature introduced in Joomla 3.4.4, it won't allow the upload of PHP files. Indeed this has been fixed in CSVI 3.4.1 but you have installed an older version. I would suggest you move to CSVI 6 as CSVI 5 is no longer supported after the end of this year. If you want to keep using CSVI 5, you can apply the patch manually via FTP. The patch file contains the folder structure of where the file(s) are located.
Hello, Your screenshot shows that ngx pagespeed is not loading any content of CSVI webpages. Can you try disabling this page speed module and see if CSVI works?
Hi Roland, it seems that actually the behaviour depends by the server and its configuration. I'll try to find out a way to accelerate import images process, since it is not related to csvi. Maybe it's better to first download the images, then upload them in the proper folder and then provide the path in file_url field. Providing a direct url in file_url can generate some troubles, especially for large csv files. In any case thank you! Vittorio
Hello, Looking into the logs shows that there are new product_skus in the csv file you are trying to import, CSVI will do the import based on product_sku, Since these product_sku are not there already new rows have been created. For example 105-144, 109-550 new insertion has been created for these SKUs. Skip new items option has been set to "No". Try setting it to "yes" in template options and these new entries will be avoided.
Hi Roland, I followed the guide to create new custom field [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/778-custom-fields-import-and-export]here[/url], but the import process gives me this error: Action: skipped - Message: Missing required fields This is my csv: "custom_desc","custom_title","custom_value","field_type","plugin_name","custom_element" "Organics","organics","YES","S","","" where am I wrong?

Hello Jack Lenders, Looks like you have also installed CSVI Stockable custom fields extension along with CSVI Customfields for all. Do you use CSVI Stockable custom fields extension? As per your import file i see you are only importing Custom fields for all values in import. The problem is that CSVI Stockable custom fields extension also supports import of custom fields for all values and that extension is coded to clear any previous entries in database for custom fields for all and insert new ones. What if you disable CSVI stockable custom fields and then run the import? Let me know how it goes.
Hello, You need to install the CSVI VirtueMart Extension. You can find the extensions in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions]Downloads Extension page[/url].
That makes sense, this will stop the maintenance. It seems you have old and new files mixed. Please uninstall CSVI, so that all files (old and new) are removed and then install CSVI Pro and the CSVI VirtueMart add-on again. Now you should be able to use the maintenance options. Let me know how it goes.
And are you planning to add this patch to original CSVI pro? I believe that every time we will update CSVI pro these changes will be overwritten? Please advise, Sandra
Hello Yaniv, My bad, I sent you a file based on the upcoming CSVI. Attached is the patch for your version of CSVI. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, I repeat the proces step by step following the tutorial and I install the csvi 6. I install after the plugin CSVI PRO Virtumart. It see that all it's ok but the component interface in not the same, it appears rare. Then I try uninstall all but I can't unistall the pluguin CSVI PRO Virtuemart. Then I try to install again the csvi 5 pro stable but I can't. I remove all csvi tables from PHPMyadmin and finally I can install again the csvi 5 pro stable. At the moment I prefer wait a CSVI 6 Pro stable version because with the CSVI 5 Pro I'm fine. I would like to use the CSVI 6 only in order to do that the derivate products are inside the principal products. I think this is only possible with the CSVI 6. Now I have imported ok the principal products and the derivate products. But I can't see the derivate products. I would like that the derivate products are only accesible from the principal product with a drop down list. I know how to do it if I create the derivate products from the principal product, but I don't know how I can do it if the derivate products exist. Is possible to do it? Or I must to do it manually, creating the derivate products from each principal product? I adjoint a images in order you can understand better the solution that I wish. Thanks for your help. Kind regards
Hello, [quote]Does this mean that I don't have to set template fields, it just adds info to the database to the right columns?[/quote] Adding template fields is required for any template, CSVI has to know which all fields you are trying to import and if the record in import has to be inserted or updated which is done with help of template fields. For example, in Virtuemart product import product_sku field is identifier field, based on this field CSVI will process a record. [quote]Or does this mean it looks at my column headers which must match template fields but doesn't matter the order the columns are in the csv?[/quote] Yes, CSVI will look at the column headers which must match template fields and does the import. The order doesn't matter if you set 'Use file for configuration' option to Yes in Template settings on file tab but the name of the field should match. If you have your own custom headers in import file, you can specify them in 'Your field' while creating the template fields.
Don, Did you also install the HikaShop addon? If you want to remove CSVI 6, it uninstalls just like CSVI 5 as I posted the uninstall link before.
Hello, First thing is that you are running a old version of Joomla, you need to update that. Second is that you are using CSVI version for which support has come to end of life. Its explained in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/extension/versions]CSVI versions[/url] page. You need to update your CSVI extension too.
Hello Roland, It seems there was also some files missing. So now CSVI updates the images and dont't added new ones. But CSVI updates all image information like title, thumb_url, role, file_desc ... But why? If I say don't process images on product import it can't be, that CSVI override my image details??? Best Regards, Maik

[/quote] Yes, domain name of the website which you need to enter in CSVI Dashboard page >> Options >> Site tab>> Domain name field. [quote]It is there a video tutorial that shows how to set up CSV from scratch?[/quote] Have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/251-joomla-users/2934-joomla-users]Joomla Users[/url] document.
Hello, You seem to have updated only CSVI component to 7.0.2 version and have not updated CSVI VirtueMart addon. You need to update VirtueMart addon to solve this error.
Hello Anja, The combine plugin is only usable for CSVI 6, it has no function for any older versions of CSVI. The plugin is included in the CSVI 6 distribution package. Since you don't have it, I assume you are using CSVI 5 Pro. Combining the columns 2 and 3 should be possible, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Please post your debug log and some screenshots of how you have setup the combine rules. Let's see then what is going on.
Hello Tim, [quote]but is there an external IP address i should check that spiders the pages accociated with CSVI?[/quote] There is no external IP address for generating SEF URLs. It is that CSVI is trying to access the front end and is been stopped. Can you also check your .htaccess file to see if CSVI has been blocked in there?
Hello, This error is not with CSVI, the problem is CSVI uses VirtueMart files to get product prices and so this error of VirtueMart has popped up in CSVI. There is a VirtueMart forum which discuss about same error and how to solve it. You can check it [url=http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=140909]in this thread[/url] of VirtueMart.
Hello Dave, [quote]Thanks for the response. Am I supposed to edit the CSV and add the "filename:" prefix in or can a Rule do this? (I haven't explored these yet)?[/quote] You can either edit the CSV file or create a replace rule using CSVI Multi replace plugin to put the [b]filename:[/b] in front of your image name. The rule can be created as attached image. [quote]Yes, I am aware of this however nothing gets created. No folders or images. Maybe this is because the image cannot be found in the previous step?[/quote] Yes, try putting the image in the above format and see if it works.
Hello, The error COM_CSVI_FAILED_QUERY is due to failing query during CSVI installation. To fix this apply the patch file attached in [url=https://csvimproved.com/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=34323]this post[/url] then go to CSVI About page and click on Fix database button. This will solve all the database issues you had during CSVI Installation.
Hello Nicola, One thing i noticed from your debug log is that your are using CSVI 7.5.1 version. With latest CSVI version and with your import files i am not seeing any issue running import on my local test site. Can you update your CSVI and then run the import? See if that fixes the issue.
CSVI 6.4.2 VirtueMart 3.0.10 Joomla 3.4.8 PHP 5.4.45 Hi I am using cron to run a price update daily. The import csv file has 5 fields, 3 of which are skipped. I just use the product SKU and the product price. This works fine except on products with an apostrophe in the title. The apostrophe is converted to ?#39; .This is then added again for each subsequent import. The import file is UTF-8. Thanks, Joely
[quote]How do I delete the existing prices? (8000 record)[/quote]Go to Maintenance -> Maintenance. Choose VirtueMart in the first dropdown and in the second choose Remove product prices. After that click continue. If you can't download the package, you have not put in your Download ID in CSVI. I am quite surprised you don't know where to download CSVI because you did download it before :) At the top of this page you can see the menu and it says Downloads, click that and then click CSVI Pro to get the CSVI Pro download. Also you need to update your VirtueMart add-on. You can find that at Downloads -> CSVI Pro Extensions.
Hello, Can you tell us which version of CSVI you are using? Are you running import or export? Can you post your template XML to check? To get the template XML go to CSVI Maintenance page, select CSVI Pro in first drop down, Backup templates in second dropdown. Click continue. Post the downloaded XML file.
Hello, Are you using the latest version of CSVI? If yes, Can you go to CSVI About page and click on Verify database button? See if the error is gone after that.
Hi, It seems that the Custom Fields I defined aren't visible in CSVI. They are of type plugin and the plugin configured is Virtuemart 3 Product Filter by Custom Fields. I have all the extensions of CSVI installed and enabled. I'm using CSVI 7.1 According to the documentation this should work or not? Thank you for your help. With kindest regards, Taner
Hello, The debug log is empty and you are using an unstable version of CSVI. First would be to update to version 6.1.2. You can leave the file_url_thumb field out if you are creating the thumbnails. CSVI will create the file in the correct location. With the new CSVI version you should get a debug log and we can check further if needed.
The problem is: I try to install CSVI Pro 6 but the issue detailed in your installation guide appears. And we can not make a clean installation because we have a lot of custom import templates and we can not delete it. Maybe we can save the templates from csvi 5 to use in csvi 6? This is possible? Thanks
Hello, Yes you can. Easiest is to use the CSVI Custom table export and import. With the CSVI Custom table export you export the content of the virtuemart_products table with the fields virtuemart_product_id and product_sku. Change the values of the product_sku field to what you want them to be. After that import the updated file with the CSVI Custom table import routine.
Hello, It might be you have an issue if you updated from an older CSVI version. What you can do is delete the table csvi_availablefields from the database. Uninstall CSVI and then install CSVI and the VirtueMart addon again. You should have all the fields then or if not you may have to do the update of the available fields once more.
Hello Taruna, "You can enable plugin from Extension manager >> Manage >> Manage, Search for CSVI in search box and all CSVI extensions will be displayed. Look for CSVI Margin rule plugin and click on Status column which is the first column in the list to enable if it is not enabled already." The plugin was already enabled on the Extensions manager. Thanks.
Hello Romana, [quote]Oh dear, sometimes I not have a clue![/quote]That is why we are here to help :) CSVI can only download/link the images that are mentioned in the import file. If the image names are not in the import file, CSVI won't be able to import them. In other words CSVI can't scan the server for other images.
Hello, Please check the steps as outlined in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url] that should resolve the issue.
i dont believe there is blocked by any firewall. all other settings of csvi are accesible and editable. i can save any other changes in csvi except for this field mapper.
Hi Roland, I am using CSVI Pro 6.5.3 and Virtuemart 3.0.12 and [i]Custom fields for all[/i] plugin. I created 4 custom fields with this plugin in my virtuemart backend: however I did not set any value for them, since I want to import these values with CSVI. So, for instance, I created "color" custom field but I did not set any color as string value (see customfieldsettings.jpg). Then I configured the csv file trying to follow https://www.csvimproved.com/support/import/203-virtuemart/1047-custom-fields-for-all-for-virtuemart. So, my custom_title is "color~otherfield~otherfield~otherfield"; custom_value is "customfieldsforall~customfieldsforall~customfieldsforall~customfieldsforall"; custom_param is "Blue~otherfieldvalue~otherfieldvalue~otherfieldvalue". I did not use other "headers" like custom_price. See filetoimport.xls (it's a xls just as example). After the import, in virtuemart product detail of backend -> "custom fields" sheet, I can see the four custom fields listed, but with no values. Give a look to product_customfields.jpg. So I am asking what's wrong with the csv file? Thank you for the help. Regards Vittorio

Hello, Please follow the instructions as explained in documentation [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=1068] Uninstall of CSVI[/url] and then do a clean CSVI 6.5.0 install.
Hello, You dont seem to have installed Virtuemart addon for CSVI and so it in not seen in the list. Please look for Virtuemart addon on CSVI Pro extensions page and install it.
Hello Chris, Looks like you have not installed CSVI custom fields for all plugin and so the values are not saved. You can download this plugin from CSVI Downloads page and under CSVI Pro Extensions in 7.12.0 version look for [b]Custom Fields For All custom field[/b] plugin. Download, install and enable it and then run your import.
Hello, It looks like you have just upgraded CSVI extension but have not updated CSVI Virtuemart addon. Once you update VirtueMart addon to 7.0.2 version, error should be gone.
Hi, im trying to assign products to multiple categories. Im using CSV file with product_sku and related_categories fields: product_sku 47505 related_categories CAT1|CAT1SUB|CAT1SUBSUB When i check products they are indeed assigned to that categories, but the problem is even those categories existed before import, CSVI also created extra parent categories CAT1 CAT1SUB and CAT1SUBSUB. What i should need to do in order just to populate related categories field and not create new categories.

hi, I want to export a csv file which contain the product information in VM. However, there are some rows duplicated. I have considered that multi category_path might be a problem, so I correct all to be one category path. There are some products did stop duplicating and I am really happy about that, but others still duplicate and I have no idea why it happen. csvi version 6.4.2 joomla version 3.4.6 VM version 3.0.9
Hello, i just bought CSVI Pro yesterday. When i try to import a product list from a CSV File which contains data with German Umlaute like ä,ö,ü, etc. the product name will be imported, but cut off before the first Umlaut. For example: "Gummidichtung für Motor" is cut off to "Gummidichtung f". What can i do to import these, that i cann see the full discription name of the article. Thanks. Axel
After applying the patch error does not appear, but the exported fields are not correct: custom_param = n=""|s=""|ft=""|t=""|m=""|af=""|av=""|ld=""|z=""| custom_value = Disponibilità (OK) custom_value = (empty) Can you see it in attached file .csv In CSVI for Joomla 2.5 (where all works ok) I have this values for fields in import file: custom_param = Non venduto custom_value = Disponibilità custom_value = param So your patch doesn't solve this problem for export template.
Hello, This error happens if you have the incorrect table in the database. Please uninstall CSVI 6 and remove the prefix_csvi_settings table and then install CSVI 6 again, see how it goes.
Hello, Look at the documentation [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url] and follow the steps. That will bring back the fields.
Hello, You need to use picture_url instead of file_url for the image. You can't control which image CSVI exports, as CSVI just exports the first image that is returned by the database.

Hi, We have created a template with the right fields in it however the product description appears on mulitiple fields instead of just one within the CSV file when it is downloaded. Is there a way for the product description to stay in the one field? As you can see from the screenshot this looks very untidy and not only that confusing, I am creating a dummy csvi for this client and want it to be as simple for her as possible. Thanks in advance!
Hello, [quote]version 6.64 .. I am happy to pay for some oen to install this for me if this can be done[/quote] You should not be having any issues updating from this version. [quote]it say add ons out dated[/quote] This message says that you have updated main CSVI component but have not updated your CSVI addons to latest version. You can download and install the latest version of addons from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads]CSVI Downloads[/url] page and on CSVI Pro Extensions section.
Hello, You need to check if the installed CSVI addons are up to date. To know that go to Extension Manager >> Manage and in the search box type CSVI, check if the extensions you see in there are of latest version. If yes then you can hide this message by going to CSVI Dashboard page >> Options and set Check addon install message to No.

Hello, Russian language files are included in CSVI package by default. You can get it in CSVI package and in admin/language/ru-RU folder and site/language/ru-RU folder.
Hello, There is no error i could find in your server log which is specific to CSVI import but i see /home/persarts/public_html/ebutik] does not exist in every part of log.

Hello Dennis, You can follow the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/915-csvi-field-mapper] CSVI Field mapper[/url] document to know on how to map the fields.
Hello, [quote]When uploading through csv I see the path to the image is wrong. It takes the path in the template (images/stories/virtuemart/products) and takes the csv file_url path and put them as one link so it becommes: images/stories/virtuemart/product/IMAGE/FOTOS/picture.jpg[/quote] If you have your own custom path for images, you need to define that in "Location product files" on Image tab in your template settings. By default CSVI takes the path 'images/stories/virtuemart/product/' which is the path used by VirtueMart. [quote]When I place the folder with pics into images/stories/virtuemart/products/ IMAGES/FOTOS It will store the product image link correctly but does not process the image to images/stories/virtuemart/product/ and /rezise In my template I have enabled the "process image" I have the latest version with all the proper plugins csvi pro 6.6.4 / joomla 3.6 Please advise.[/quote] CSVI will process the images and its path as said in template settings. Since the images are placed in images/stories/virtuemart/products/IMAGES/FOTOS folder, it stores the file_url with given path and the thumb would be images/stories/virtuemart/products/IMAGES/FOTOS/resized. There is no process to move the images from your custom path to images/stories/virtuemart/product/ and /rezise. If you want to use images/stories/virtuemart/product/ path for images, upload your images to images/stories/virtuemart/product folder and just give the image name to file_url value. That way CSVI will process file_url value as images/stories/virtuemart/product/picture.jpg and the corresponding thumb image is also generated like images/stories/virtuemart/product/resized/picture.jpg. Hope this is clear.
My custom field values are not being imported. Whenever I preview the import file the Size & Colour fields are ignored. The custom labels have been created against the product but the value fields are all empty. Any help much appreciated.

We created a template to export VirtueMart orders daily based on some conditions. It works fine most of the time but the issue is, sometimes, there are missing orders. We investigated the issue and found out that the cause is due to how CSVI handles time zones. We are in Asia and our server and software are configured to use UTC+8. It seems like that CSVI's post processing is not handling time zones properly. When we run the SQL query found in the debug results, we get all orders that we are expecting, including the missing ones. Only the actual CSV file generated doesn't include the missing ones. What we noticed is that the missing orders all have an order time (created_on field) of 23:xx:xx. Some info about what we use: 1. Joomla 3.4.8 2. CSVI Pro 6.6.4 3. VirtueMart 3.0.14 Attached are the template backup and debug results. Thanks.
Hello, Please follow the steps in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing Fields in CSVI[/url] document. That should resolve the issue for you.
Hi, I am trying to use CSVI with the latest Custom Filters Version 2.4.1 beta, but I get error messages. Is this CF version supported by current CSVI version? Thx, V
Hello Tharuna, removed the CSVI again with all data tables, reinstalled CSVI and the error of outdated addons still appears. Sent you a private message with access data. Kind regards, Teresa
Hello Marcus, You did not mention on the version of CSVI you are using. Did you update your CSVI to latest version? Have you also updated VirtueMart addon to latest version?
Hello, Please find the modified template XML file which would solve your category_path issue. You need to restore the template from CSVI maintenance menu >> Select CSVI pro on first option, Restore template in second option. Click continue. I have added a new rule to your category_path field so parent category/ gets added to the first item in category_path. [quote]I have a category type brand. In this type i import brands an in csv brand related field is MerchantID and MerchantName.so please let me know how i can mapping field of hika shop with both of these as now if i import no brand is showing in product. For now i done mapping of MerchantID with product_manufacturer_id.[/quote] Do you have these brands already in your database? You need to have them so CSVI can relate them to the product. Also we don't recommend the use of id field as the id in the database may be different from what you have in your import file, use available field brand to map with MerchantName instead.

I need installed CSVI pro version 6.4.3 again. But I could't download file. The download page CSVI said that "not file were found". How I can download this version? Thanks
Hello Roland, Thank you for CSVI 5.11. We are trying to do a custom fields import with CSVI but there are not any available fields, even if we have updated them. We understand that the module CSVI is compatible with the following module, correct? http://myext.eu/en/vmcustom-param-vip or maybe this one? http://breakdesigns.net/extensions/custom-filters I understand your tutorial here is based on the 1st one (which is the one we have purchased): http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-documentation/tutorials/922-multiple-customfields-filter-for-virtuemart Rgrds, Chris

Hello, If your Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3 are two different sites then you can follow the instruction given [url=https://csvimproved.com/forum?view=topic&catid=44&id=32444&start=6#46299]in this post[/url]. If you are looking for upgrading your current site, there is a procedure to be followed to upgrade from CSVI 5 version to CSVI 6 which is explained in the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or updating of CSVI 6 Pro document[/url].
Hello, [quote]Everything is fine but I can not find the field "perms" under CSVI - Available fields --- Virtuemart - User Info What do I need to do?[/quote] The field "perms" was used by old version of VirtueMart and no longer supported. The new field for latest VirtueMart version is shopper_group_name, You can use this field in your import file. I have updated the document too. Also, i noticed that you are using CSVI 6.5.5 version. The current version is CSVI 6.6.2, it is recommended to update your CSVI extension.
Hello, Your screenshot shows there is no Javascript error so i am thinking there is something which is interrupting the export of CSVI. Do you have any firewall installed on site? can you whitelist CSVI in your firewall? Can you also check the installed plugins in your plugin manager? I am thinking if any plugin is stopping the CSVI export.
Hello Anne, Your debug log says that you have not installed CSVI custom fields for all extension. Go to downloads page on CSVI site and in the section CSVI Pro Extensions look for "Custom Fields For All custom field" plugin and install it using Joomla extension manager. Dont forget to enable the plugin if its not. Try doing import after that.
Hello, You have not installed the CSVI VirtueMart addon. You can download it from the Downloads -> CSVI Pro Extensions and install it like a regular extension. After that you will see VirtueMart there.
Hello Anne, Can you follow the steps in the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url] and see if that resolves the issues?
Hi Roland, CSVI don't create new products. The log said CSVI uses an update query, but must use an insert for new products. Skip new items is set to NO. Regards, Maik
Hello, May i know what will be the issue you would have if you use CSVI thumbnail creation? Just wanted to know the difference in CSVI thumbnail generation and VirtueMart thumbnail generation.
Hi Roland, Noted the following: 1. Maintenance -> CSVI Pro -> Empty Temp Folder indeeds empties the /tmp folder but not the /logs folder (Although in CSVI Logs menu -> Action Type says "Empty the CSVI temporary folder and the log folder"). I'm not sure whether it should empty the /logs folder also. 2. In CSVI Logs Screen, when i click on Delete or Delete All button, a pop-up appears but when i click OK nothings happens, seems that it doesn't pass any command. Using Joomla 3.4.3. Rgrds, Chris
Hi Roland, Problem solved! Thanks for your support on the issue. Next up: importing products. I created the template and did the first import of the CSV with 313 products. All went well, CSVi tells me. But in the product list in Virtuemart, nothing is added. Also I noticed that the preview couldn't show me all cell information of the CSV file. I added the attachments to this post, maybe you can point me in the right direction again? For your information, this webshop uses two languages, which are NL and DE. So I'll have to an import template for both Dutch and German. The one I tried now is the German language.
Hello, You an use the CSVI Custom Table export in the future if you just want to export a table. There is also the CSVI Custom Table import in case you want to import it.
this isnt possible to import using csvi so what i will do is to try make a script to download to server first and then use csvi from there to import the downloaded xml file
Hello, Thank you for the screenshot, it explains a lot. There is a copy of your site inside the temp folder of CSVI. That should not happen, I will see if I can reproduce the issue or find a fix for that. Thanks for posting the screenshot. Here is the article [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save a CSVI file as UTF-8[/url] in case you need it. Edit: I have tried to reproduce the issue but I can't get it to do the same, even with your file. I can have a closer look if you send me the FTP/Joomla login details and the file to test with I can check why it happens on your site. You can send it via private message or email.
Hello, First thing that strikes me as odd is your formatting of the CSV file. The file is full with > symbols. I guess you came up with your own symbols for text enclosure and field delimiter instead of the default comma and double quote. The fields that are empty are fields that depend on the language where it is stored in. So get these fields exported you need to select the correct language in the Options tab of your export language. The table where VirtueMart stores the language data can be different than you think. So if the current language doesn't work, choose another language. Finally, I see quite a few products without an SKU, these products are not supported for import by CSVI. CSVI requires the SKU field as a unique field to identify products for imports.
Hello, If you need the example templates then you can install them from CSVI maintenance menu, select CSVI Pro on first option, Install example templates in the second option, click Continue.
Hello Davide, Yes check if CSVI has been blocked and whitelist it. Do you mean when you run your exports you see forbidden or when trying to download a CSVI template?
Hello, The process images must be set to Yes, otherwise CSVI will completely ignore the file_url and file_url_thumb field in your import file. You can set Create thumbnails to No so that CSVI doesn't create the thumbnails. That should be enough to import the images as is. CSVI still needs to collect file details to store those with the image, so they must be processed.
Hello, Since CSVI is not a migration tool, we don't have any migration scripts to help you out. As for specific templates to do this, we don't have them either. There is of course the example templates that come with CSVI but you will need to see if this is enough for you. I don't remember any changes between VM 2 and VM 3 for CSVI.
[quote]Hello, For shipment data you can use [b]shipment_element[/b] field, for payment use [b]payment_element[/b] field and for order status you can use [b]order_status_name[/b] field in your import file.

Hello Teresa, You can zip the multiple files and put it on ftp. You can then use the zip file name in CSVI template FTP settings, CSVI unpacks the archive and imports them.
Hello, From the screenshots it shows that you are using older version of CSVI. It is recommended to upgrade to latest CSVI version, there are many new features and bug fixes done with the latest version.
Hello Michael, Which type of custom fields are you talking about? A number of custom fields can be used like any other field by creating them in VirtueMart and then go to CSVI to the Update available fields page and click on Update. So CSVI knows these fields exist. Once CSVI knows about these fields, you can use them like the standard fields.
It looks like the CSVI Fast Seller addon has not been installed, if that is the case, you can [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-4-0]download the Fast Seller addon[/url] install it and the export should make more sense. If that is already installed, make sure you also post the debug logs.
Hello, So I checked this but it exports fine here. When you updated CSVI, did you also update the VirtueMart addon? Perhaps do that first, download the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-5-7]VirtueMart addon[/url] and install it. After that see if the export works or not. If not, I can take a closer look.
Hello, [quote]While good version should be "7.4.1". Is'nt it ?[/quote] Yes thats correct, the latest version is 7.4.1 and you should see all extensions to this version. Did you run your update using CSVI 7.4.1 package? Is that only CSVI Joomla content addon not up to date or other CSVI addons too? Can you post a screenshot of the page?
Hello, his is crazy any new item I add to a menu has this string "com-csvi-about" http://www.exoticlovesexshop.mx/com-csvi-about/test01 Should be: http://www.exoticlovesexshop.mx/test01 Any suggestion?
Hello, I have a problem with the web address. When i create a new Link the i have alwas "com-csvi-settings" in the web address. My Old Links i have createt bevore i have CSVi installed, there ok. And the second what I noticed is, the directly update doas not work. My Versions CSVi 6.5.0 Joomla 3.4.8 Virtuemart 3.0.12 Lg Weninger Edit: I solved it with Deinstall all of CSVi (tables, files) and "BreezingForms" an then i must first install CSVi and then BreezingForms. When i install BreezingForms first and then i will install the CSVi Addons for Virtuemart i have an Error. (Look at the Attachment) The next what i have noticed is when i export my templates and then i make an import many settings are different. (Autodetect delimiters is on, Use file for configuration is on, Process images is on...) and i missing the de-DE Files ;) LG Weninger
Joomla 3.4.8 CSVI Pro 6.5.2 Virtuemart 3.0.12 Hi, I am trying to put together a price override csv import file and need to choose the "overwrite price to be taxed" option. I was trying to use 'override' and putting in a value of -1 but it wasn't working and have gone searching and the support documents you provide say 'override' is no longer in use. Can you tell me how I select this option now? Many thanks, Terri
Hello, this is my configuration: - vm version 3.0.12 - csvi version 6.5.4 pro I'm running CSVimproved and virtuemart addon, I followed the instructions to import products but I can't find all the fields I need for the import. In the csv attachment I put the fields for the import, the unique field I could find for the import is the code "product_sku". For example I can't find color, product name, description,ecc.. Can you help me? Thank you very much
Hello, Looking at your site with the credentials you sent, it looks like Admin tools is blocking or interfering with CSVI import. Can you check and whitelist CSVI and see if your import works?
Yes I have an idea, it is explained in the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/?option=com_content&view=article&id=1076&catid=22&Itemid=252]Installation or updating of CSVI 6 Pro[/url] document. You need to install the VirtueMart addon which you can download [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-3-0]from the CSVI Pro extensions page[/url]. [quote]On the import page is showing that there are no templates whereas when you go to the template page there are lots of them[/quote]Are the templates published?
If you see this error in CSVI: Fatal error: Call to undefined method CsviControllerAvailableFields::hasRedirect() in /.../libraries/fof/dispatcher/dispatcher.php on line 342 there is a problem with your installation having mixed files of an older and a newer version. Uninstall CSVI to remove all the files and after that install CSVI again, you will only have the new files now and the error should be gone.
Hello Don, This RENAME command means Joomla is performing an update instead of an installation. So for some reason Joomla still thinks CSVI is installed and is doing an update because of that. Apart from deleting the tables make sure CSVI is really uninstalled. Perhaps if you have problems uninstalling you need to check the zko0a_extensions table and make sure there is no CSVI entry in there.
Please follow the steps in the document [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]Missing fields in CSVI[/url]. You should have all the fields after that.
Hello, CSVI doesn't support reading onix files and the conditions you have explained are also not possible as of now with CSVI. You can try writing some custom coding for meeting your requirements.
Here's what we found: We are trying to export yesterday's orders. Let's say that the steps below started on 2016-12-05 (UTC+8, Asia/Singapore). 1. A CSV was exported on 2016-12-04 23:22:00 UTC and the same timestamp was written to the database and CSVI debug as Joomla is writting UTC time (even though we set it to use UTC+8 on the configurations page). The export used the function DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) which translates to DATE_SUB('2016-12-05', INTERVAL 1 DAY) = '2016-12-04' as our server, PHP, MySQL, etc. are using UTC+8. 2. A new order was made on 2016-12-04 23:38:00 UTC and the same timestamp was written on the database. This new order was NOT included in the CSV exported above as it happened after the export. 3. The next day, 2015-12-06 (UTC+8, Asia/Singapore), a new CSV similar to no. 1 was exported. The export used the same function, DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) which translates to DATE_SUB('2016-12-06', INTERVAL 1 DAY) = '2016-12-05'. The export still did NOT show the order that was made in no. 2 as the order was made on 2016-12-04 not on 2016-12-05. In order to fix this, we think that CSVI should not be using DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) directly in the query as CURDATE() will use the server's time zone (UTC+8) which causes issues like demonstrated above. CSVI should convert the timestamp to UTC first so that it is consistent with the timestamps that Joomla is using before passing it to the query or maybe set MySQL's session time zone first then use CONVERT_TZ().
Hello John, There is nothing attached but to install CSVI, you can do that via the Extension Manager in Joomla. You will need to install both CSVI Pro and the required add-on, for example VirtueMart.
i have unchecked the tables i do not want but when i look at the field mapper i see all of the table fields. i have carefully followed the specs below several times, but i still see all of the tables. how can i only show the tables/fields i want in the field mapper? Enable tables Go to Components -> CSVI/CSVI Pro -> Settings Click Custom tables Check the tables you want to use for custom import/export Click on Save Go to Components -> CSVI/CSVI Pro -> Available Fields Click Update Now you can use the custom tables for import/export Disable tables Go to Components -> CSVI/CSVI Pro -> Settings Click Custom tables Uncheck the tables you no longer want to use for custom import/export Click on Save The tables are now no longer available Optional: You could do another Available Fields update to clean it up
Hi, I'm testing the CSVI Virtuemart Product template and seems to find an issue with the product_desc field. To illustrate the issue, consider a simple VM Product Template with 3 fields: 1. product_name 2. product_desc 3. product_price The product description is a html code input via TinyMCE editor. The problem seems to appear when the product description has multiple lines, e.g., multiple paragraphs ( tag). See attached screenshot table of 5 sample products. This is the csv file exported from CSVI. Here, all products have single-line product_desc, whereas product 4 has a multi-line description: descr_1st-line descr_2nd-line descr_3rd-line It seems to mess up the table structure. Maybe I miss something or need to do some configuration to allow more robust handling? Could you please help. Thank you.
Hi! I am running the following setup: Joomla 3.4.8 Virtuemart 3.0.12 CSVI 6.5.2 I am trying to do a CSV file for something called Prisjakt which is very similar to Pricerunner. They need the following information: > Manufacturer name > Category name > Product name > Availability > Price > Product link to the actual product I got all of the above to export well enough however i cannot get a correct URL for the product as a product_url. It comes out as: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=184&virtuemart_category_id=78&Itemid=1 Can anyone help me getting the correct URL of each product? It used to work on my J2.5 and VM 2.5 setup with the older CSVI but this newer one isnt as easy to understand, at least for me. Any help would be highly appreciated!
Hi, I hope you will be fine and good. I purchase the CSVI Pro Extension from here few days ago. I install it in my joomla cms. I want to upload the Virtuemart products from my CSV file. I also create the template in CSVI. When I import file and click on Perview, I get this error. Notice: Undefined property: CsviViewImportsource::$template in /home/websiterdesigner/public_html/administrator/components/com_csvi/views/importsource/tmpl/default.php on line 24 Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object in /home/websiterdesigner/public_html/administrator/components/com_csvi/views/importsource/tmpl/default.php on line 24 See attachment. My CVS file also included in attachment. Please tell me solution of this as soon as possible. I am waiting for your kind reply.
Hello, To get values of a column from a table by joining two columns in same table to one column of another is only possible using table alias. Currently CSVI custom table export does not support table aliases. if you know how to use PhpMyAdmin, you can run the below query in PhpMyAdmin and export the values to csv from there. I have assumed the table name having author_id and reviewer_id as #__reviewers, you need to use the name as per your database. In the meantime we will see what we can do with table alias with CSVI custom table export. [code type="markup"] SELECT users.name AS name1, users1.name AS name2 FROM #__reviewers reviewers LEFT JOIN #__users users ON users.id = reviewers.author_id LEFT JOIN #__users users1 ON users1.id = reviewers.reviewer_id[/code]
I've installed CSVI a month back but now I notice that the URL for every new article on my site has "com-csvi-maintenance" stuffed in the middle of it - e.g. http://www.oups.org.uk/com-csvi-maintenance/oups-branded-clothing !! I'd *really* love to get rid of this - it seems like a CSVI bug (incorrect routing) ? I've tried a number of things, including this morning the DISASTROUS step of uninstalling CSVI, which took half of my site with it !! In particular it removed all the administrator menu items for Virtuemart, resulting in a very worried shop administrator (and an even more worried me - thank God for backups !!) Not impressed so far, any help as to how to sort out the URL problem would be great. Thanks, David
Hi Rolland, we have new eshop with Virtuemart 3.4.2 Joomla 3.9.6 CustomfieldForAll 4.0.4 CustomFilters Pro 2.7.0 CSVI Pro 7.12.0 CSVI Import Custom Fields For All If I imported CSV for parent products, the customfields are imported ok, but for child products created duplicate customfiled. But I need for child products the same customfield only with setup override and selected only one value from multi values. The file for import is one (parent with child, and I importing one time. Velikost rámu == Frame size Modelový rok == Model year I tried importing a single file or importing separate files and each time the result was the same. Parameters were duplicated after child products were imported. I send picture with right admin setup and wrong admin setup. parent: https://kolopark.easy.minion.cz/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=14198&virtuemart_category_id=742&Itemid=435 child-wrong: https://kolopark.easy.minion.cz/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=14199&virtuemart_category_id=742&Itemid=435 child-ok: https://kolopark.easy.minion.cz/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=14215&virtuemart_category_id=742&Itemid=435 How can I setup or import right? We have about 15000 products to import: - from feeds from suppliers - manually from ERP - manually in administration and the client does not want to manually overwrite child values => that then loses the use of CSVI advantage. I've also tried to add override / disabled values to CSV, but it didn't help. Best Regards Rudolf
Hi, I have used CSVI Pro since 2011 and have been very satisfied with it. Now i have upgraded to CSVI Pro6.4.2, VM3.0.12 and J3.4.5 and made an clean install of CSVI Pro. I have created my template again from the buttom and ran the import with success. It updated the product_in _stock field as expected. But it also created a lot of new products (421 to be precise) in the products table and this was not expected. :( If I do the excact same thing with CSVI Pro 5.21.2 it behaves as expected and do not create new products.
[b][i]First would be to update to CSVI 6.3.0.[/i] - [/b] yes did this and the fields appeared in the available list but not in the export - they also were visible in table csvi_availablefields [b][i]In PhpMyAdmin go to your database and remove the table csvi_availablefields, after that uninstall CSVI and then install CSVI again and after that install the CSVI VirtueMart add-on. Reset the tasks and update the available fields. You should see all the needed fields in the Maintenance -> Available fields page. [/i][/b] - it worked - thanks for guidance - now to build a more complex file !
Still no joy. I guess you mean "Use file for configuration" so I disabled that and taken the spaces out of the fields-to-combine but I still get "No supported fields have been found in the import file" in the preview step. How does the CSVI map CSV columns to import fields? I had thought I set "Use file for configuration" to true and then use the column titles in the first line as the "your field" reference in the fields.
Hi Rolandd, Yes the basics work fine, CSVI is perfect for what I need but it took some time for me personally to figure things out. I checked my csv file and it was very badly put together from my manufacturer, so I fixed all that and I removed the product_parent_sku from the parent product and added the Multi Variant and it works like a charm! Everything is where it's supposed to be Thank you and tharuna for all the help!
Hello Tharuna, Yes, now all products including #ov40 shows correct values. Thank You very much! One more question: some of products will need one more field - weight. What would You suggest? To create new custom field Multi2 which would consist of 3 fields (size, color, weight)? Or add it directly to current field Multi? Does CSVI handle it in one csv file that some product will have 2 and some 3 fields? Regards Tomasz.
Hello, Please have a look at the [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1098-missing-fields-in-csvi]missing fields in CSVI[/url] document to know how to see the missing available fields.
Hello, Have you also installed CSVI VirtueMart addon extension? If not you can download it from CSVI downloads page and install it. Run the available fields update after that to see the VirtueMart fields.
Hello, You mentioned that you are using CSVI 6.5.2 version in your original post but screenshot shows that you are using an older version. Can you confirm which version of CSVI you are using?
Hello otletgazda, [quote]The file uploaded automatically to ftp is an stock import file name is a variable data, the file generation date: stock20180314-083045.csv, stock20180314-091227.csv.

How can I automate the import, if there is a variable data in the file name?[/quote] You can set import to be read from a folder instead of a file by setting the folder path in FTP Root folder option and leave the FTP filename field empty. This way CSVI reads all the files from the folder and imports them. And by setting Delete after import option to Yes, the file will be removed after import and so the new files in the folder will be imported next time when the import runs. [quote]we want to delete the import files automatically after processing.

Hello, Received the login details and was able to see what is happening. The problem is with the name of your Extra Groups. Your extra group name is maszyny_uzywane but CSVI also uses the underscore to separate group name and field name, so you get maszyny_uzywane_Marka but on export CSVI needs to separate the group and field name. CSVI separates this on the first underscore, so the field CSVI finds is uzywane_Marka. This doesn't exist and so the export is empty. The solution to this would be to rename your Extra Group as maszyny-uzywane for example. After doing that you will need to update the available fields in CSVI and update the fields in your template and template fields but the export should be OK after that. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, You dont seem to be using latest CSVI version, May i know your CSVI version number? Also what is the language you have set in your VirtueMart >> Configuration page >> Language settings?
Hello Don, [quote]In downloads I see 1 Beta 6.0 but says not to use on live site.[/quote]That is because CSVI 6 stable is not yet available. Sure you can use the beta on your live site but do know it is fairly new. Do know, you can't just update CSVI 5 to CSVI 6, you will need to do a clean installation.

Hello, Looks like you have not installed the CSVI VirtueMart addon. Go to Downloads -> CSVI Pro Extensions and download and install the addon from there. After that make sure to follow the update routine again.
Hello, Currently CSVI does not support the import of "Virtuemart Custom Fields - File Attachment" plugin custom fields. But we will add this to our todo list so it can be added to future CSVI versions.
I used CSVI version 6.3 in combination with Joomla 3.8. This does not go well with import. Strange is that you see the example, but as soon as you want to import you get the error 500. The combination CSVI 7.30with Joomla 3.8.2 works fine. The reason for my late update is that the CSVI replace rule was not properly adopted in the earlier versions With best regards Drees
Hello, [quote]Sorry.. I don't have the xml file (am I missing something?)...[/quote] You need to download your template XML file from CSVI maintenance page. To get template XML file go to CSVI maintenance page, Select CSVI Pro on first option and Backup template on second option. Select your import templates and click continue. Download the XML file and post it.
Hello Mark, The plugins list you have pasted are part of package and should also be updated to 7.4.1 version when you do the update. Can you download the package from [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro/csvi-pro-7-4-1]CSVI Downloads page[/url] and run the update again? Check if your frontend import issue is also solved after this update.
Hello Tony, From CSVI maintenance page, [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/905-how-to-load-a-patch-file]load the patch file[/url] attached in my previous post and then go to CSVI About page, click on Fix database button. This would solve any database issues you had during installation assuming you are running CSVI 7.5.1 version on your sites.

Hello, There is no option in CSVI to export from any external database other than the Joomla database. The option we have in CSVI is to export records from Joomla database table to external database table.
Hello, [quote]I want to update to 6.5.0. But how does this work with the pro extensions. How do I know if I need to update them?[/quote] You can follow the upgrading instructions as explained in the document [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6] Installing or Upgrading to CSVI 6 Pro.[/url] Also, you can even check CSVI updates [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/917-how-to-enable-updates-in-csvi] using Joomla updater[/url] too. [quote]Furthermore I work with the VM extensions, but there are different ones. You have the Virtuemart one, but also separated custom fields extensions. Which should I install? And are they updated as well as the main csvi?[/quote] Yes, CSVI 6 has been organised to have Virtuemart extensions separately. You need to install or update the main Virtuemart addon since you are using it and the custom fields plugins if you use them.
Dear Brigitte, [quote]This i dont' find. i have only the selection of CSVIpro and jommla-stuff.[/quote] You also need to install the addon you want to use CSVI with, in your case that is VirtueMart: http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-2-0 After that is installed, you can find VirtueMart as part of the components as well.

Hello, [quote]But after we update CSVI and to an Update Available Fields, our template fields are gone.[/quote] That definitely should [b]not[/b] happen. Especially weird because the field names are stored with their exact names and not with any kind of reference. The only reference is the template ID. This works the same way with making a backup and restoring a template. In your case, I assume you never made a backup of your template, if you have, you should be able to restore that. [quote] With three main files, the smallest is 60 columns, it takes me hours to get this set back up again.[/quote]I feel the pain and want assure you this is not how it is supposed to work. [quote]Is the "Your Fields" column is still intact (but not sorted in any order) and the "CSVI Fields" that get cleared out every update). [/quote]The Your Fields is only used for XML files and not for CSV files. Could you make a backup of your template and post it here? I want to check it and see what happens with the fields. If you have CSVI 7.12.0 installed, you can click the Backup button at the top of the template list, otherwise you will need to go to Maintenance -> CSVI Pro -> Backup Templates. Please allow us some time to investigate this, I believe you have given enough information to replay the scenario. Thanks.
Hello Wicko, Your screenshots confirm that it is not a CSVI error, this is something which jnews extension developers can help you with. If you have any problem with CSVI import we are here to help you.
Thank you, But the CSVI extension is not installed yet! It does not install. The error message is displayed during installation and aborts the installation process. I cannot access any CSVI pages in the website backend yet!

Hello, I need import product child and atributtes. The origen is a Joomla 1.5.26 with Virtuemart 1.1.9. I have CSVI 5 Pro (No 6 Beta). I wish to import this to new Joomla 3 with Virtuemart 3. The products are yet imported ok but no the derivate products (or child products) How I can export that from VM 1.1.9 and export the csv field to VM3? Do you know the field names in both virtuemart versions? Thanks for your help Kind regards
Hi, I would to assign a shopper_group_name to every client with a bulk import. I was thinking about this csv: virtuemart_user_id;shopper_group_name; 14;VEN2|0184; because the client 14 belongs to 2 different listing. But CSVI failed with following error: The fields user_id or email or address_type or address_type_name is missing This would be an oparation that nedds to be done every day, because new customers are added and automatically needs to be assigned a shopper_group_name. Do you have any idea? thanks Matteo
Hello, I've just bought the CSVI Pro and I am trying to set my template up. Unfortunately, I cannot find the product description (short or long) field. I've checked the "Available fields" under the Maintenance menu, and such field is not available. What's wrong? All I want to do, is import 900 products from a database (excel file that will be converted to CSV), in my Virtuemart eshop. Please check the attachments (photos) for all software information about my system.
Hello, The second screenshot where you filtered on [b]csvi[/b] shows it all. The version column has for the most extensions 7.0.0 and for some 6.5.7. Most notably the [b]CSVI Pro - VirtueMart[/b] has version 6.5.7. This is the VirtueMart addon of CSVI. This must also be version 7.0.0 or rather now everything is 7.0.2. If you update that one, you should be good to go.
Hello, Uninstallation of CSVI doesn't remove the database tables because you will lose your settings. The tables can be removed from the maintenance menu if you like or using PhpMyAdmin. The same applies to CSVI 6.
Hello again, I have solved the error when I acces to CSVI and next I have done the following steps; Go to Components -> CSVI Pro Select Tasks from the Maintenance menu in CSVI Click on Reset and confirm that you are sure you want to reset the tasks Select Available Fields from the Maintenance menu in CSVI Click on Update Once the update has completed, CSVI has been cleaned up And now I have other one error when I go to the Import tab: Error Champ 'enabled' inconnu dans field list SQL=SELECT `tbl`.*,`enabled` AS `published`,`u`.`name` AS `editor` FROM `w47fa_csvi_templates` AS `tbl` LEFT JOIN `w47fa_users` AS `u` ON `tbl`.`locked_by` = `u`.`id` WHERE `tbl`.`action` = 'import' ORDER BY `csvi_template_id` ASC Can you help me??
Hello Gert-Jan, You will need to delete the csvi_availablefields table and recreate it manually using this SQL query: [code type="markup"]CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `fhl18_csvi_availablefields` ( `csvi_availablefield_id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `csvi_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `component_name` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `component_table` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `component` VARCHAR(55) NOT NULL, `action` VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, `isprimary` TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`csvi_availablefield_id`), UNIQUE INDEX `component_name_table` (`component_name`, `component_table`, `component`, `action`) ) CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Available fields for CSVI'";[/code]This will fix the index on the table. The only other way is to uninstall CSVI according to [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1068-uninstall-csvi]the Uninstall CSVI[/url] document and then install CSVI again. This will erase everything though.
Hello, Actual support of customfieldsforall in stockable custom fields was introduced in CSVI 6.6.0 version, was your CSVI previous version 6.5.0?

Joomla 3.4.1 Virtuemart 3.0.6.4 CSVI Pro 5.21.1 PHP 5.3.29 Imported items with CSV file written with OpenOffice format UTF-8. Imported successfully with all specified fields filled and published set at 1. Joomla back end admin registered the items, but they do not show on the front end web site. As a control, I made another item from Joomla admin and populated the same fields and categories. The item shows up on the web site. The categories were set up with Joomla admin, not via CSV. I have attached the CSV import file in case I have left anything out. I have tested importing a dummy part (see file). What happens is that during importing a parallel (virtual?) category is created (and set as published) instead of the item being imported into the Virtuemart created category. In Virtuemart back end, there are two Global categories. instead of only the one which I manually created. In other words, the CSV created categories do not publish.
I have spent 5 hours today trying to get imported images from .csv to publish. All images are associated with products. They just won't publish. It used to be so easy. Since all I need is the checkbox to tick to publish, I am only using two fields for csv data. product_sku and media_published. I have uploaded the csv file with only a few skus to test. I have used field value(s) 1 and Y. I have tried every combination imaginable for the import template with image processing . You just don't have any documentation for this and I have read every forum post I could find. I just renewed subscription again and found no updates to CSVI pro or VM addon. I have even looked in database for that field value so maybe I could find field name, but I have no idea where it is. Please see screenshot of the field I need to publish. I also attached csv and log files.
Hi I have since done a far more detailed clearance of the database, removing ALL references to csvi . The component then installed correctly. It is not sufficient just to remove the main csvi tables. Thank you David
Hello, We have a CSV to import products into Virtuemart. Each product defines a set of Categories to belong to (category_path), in this format: "Category A/Category B|Category C". Each time we tweak some stuff in the product CSV (description, prices etc), and we import again. The categories are always the same. (The CSV is auto-generated by code and the categories are static strings, they don't change.) However, on each import, more categories are added in VM backend, without a name/translation in the site's active language. In the database, new category ids are created, and they are inserted in the virtuemart_categories_en_gb table (but the site is in greek, therefore the active table is virtuemart_categories_el_gr). (see attached screenshots) We want the categories to remain unchanged in the database, when we import the products multiple times, that use the exact same categories. Thanks Further details: J3.9.8/VM3.2.15/CSVi 7.12 (latest)
Hello Jo, In your template you have set Auto-detect delimiters to No and the delimiter is set to a comma however your CSV file uses semi-colon as a delimiter. You must set the delimiter to semi-colon in the template otherwise CSVI can't read the file correctly. That should work or it still doesn't? If it still doesn't, go to the Template fields page and select all fields and click the Publish button. Then try the import again and see if it works.
Hello, i upgraded from csvi 5 to csvi 6.2.0., now i have problem with import: An error has occured during the import. Below the information received from the server. image in attachemnt How to solve this?
Hello Rosalie, Which Joomla and CSVI version are you using? Before re-installing, did you uninstall the addon and CSVI? If you do that, this will remove any old files that may have been left behind.
Hello, Yes, these changes are included in CSVI 7.1.0 version. We have included shopper and orders language files from VirtueMart in to CSVI. Can you tell me where and how your translations are saved in VirtueMart?
Hello Tim, You can check if CSVI has been blocked in any of these firewall extensions and also in your .htaccess file. I think once you whitelist CSVI, you should be able to run the export.
Hello Kostas, There is nothing wrong i could see in your debug log and template except that you are using old version of CSVI. Please try the export after upgrading your CSVI to latest 7.1.0 version.
Joomla 3.4.3 - Virtuemart - 3.0.9 - CSVI Pro 6.0rc1 - PHP 5.5.25 Hi, I came across a problem when importing the product - thumbnail image product. Previously exported product images url path. I wish using CSV Improved create thumbnails (I do not want to use the VM to create thumbnails). Alternatively, the program is able to import the url path of thumbnails? Then I will prepare thumbnails and throw them into the correct folder. Url paths for large images were downloaded correctly
Hello, CSVI never supported Mijoshop. You can try using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/export/2639-advanced-custom-table-export]CSVI custom table export[/url] to get the data and use this file for import.
Hello, Your table structure is fine. One thing i noticed is that you are using CSVI 7.0.2 version and there has been some improvements made in CSVI version 7.1.0 for custom table import so i would suggest you to update to this version and try the import. If you still have problems, please post the sample import file and template XML file to check. To get template XML file go to CSVI maintenance page, Select CSVI Pro on first option and Backup template on second option. Select your template and click continue. Download the XML file and post it.
Hello, We were able to reproduce this issue and have found that issue happens when the CSVI tasks are reloaded. Task reloading also happens on update of CSVI. The issue is fixed with the attached patch file. You can [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/905-how-to-load-a-patch-file]load the patch file[/url] and test by going to CSVI Tasks page and click on Reset button. You can also test your CSVI update. Make sure that you take a backup of your templates as Roland mentioned in his reply. Let us know how it goes.
Hi, I wonder if there is an easy way to do the following with CSV improved: Add a custom field to every product in virtuemart. The customfield value remains the same for every product. In the corresponding vm table 'xxx_virtuemart_product_customfields' each line is virtually the same with the exception of the unique 'virtuemart_custom_id' and the 'virtuemart_product_id'. Since I want to apply it to every product I can do it directly in SQL, but it would nice to know if there is an workflow that works with csvi. Thank you Jens
[quote]Hello, I found where the issue is, if you [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/questions-and-answers/905-how-to-load-a-patch-file]load the patch file[/url] that should be fixed. One thing, you need to install the plugin [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-0-beta-6]Custom Fields For All custom field[/url] as well. This plugin handles the Custom Fields For All data.[/quote] Now the export seems to work as expected but I have an error when I import the edited CSV file. New records seems to be imported anyway but I'm not sure because I can't understand the nature of the error. P.S.: I can't find the option for to skip existing records. Is it because I search it bad or because this option in not present in beta6?
Hello Marcel, [quote]I followed your instructions but i still don't get n export csv. The system tells me: Fout Helaas, er zijn geen velden gevonden voor deze template. Nu weet ik niet wat er geëxporteerd moet worden. Ga naar Template -> Template velden en voeg de velden toe die je wil exporteren.[/quote] You have added Group by fields to the template and not the actual template fields for your export. To add the template fields go to Template fields page on the sidebar in CSVI Pro extension. Select your export template and add the fields there. Make sure to remove the group by fields you have added to your template. You can have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/getting-started]Getting started[/url] tutorial to know about adding template and template fields and also check the animated gifs in [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/239-virtuemart/2636-virtuemart-orders#export]VirtueMart order export[/url] document. [quote]And also the system give me a second notice: Een of meer CSVI Regels plugins zijn niet gepubliceerd. Ga om de plugins te publiceren naar de Plugin Manager en publiceer de Regels plugins.[/quote] Where do you see this message? Can you post a screenshot? Generally this message is shown on CSVI Rules page when one or more CSVI rule plugins are disabled.
Hello, As you may expect, CSVI doesn't suddenly decide to spell https different :) These are not product URLs but these are image URLs. Is it just the image URLs or also the product URLs? A few things come to mind [ol][li]The domain name is changed in the settings of CSVI. Check the general settings of CSVI for the domain name[/li][li]A replacement rule is applied that has this effect[/li][/ol]
Hi Roland, It is working fine now. We downloaded the CSVI 5.20 and updated the patch. Thanks a ton. Appreciated your support. Our CSVI Pro 5.20 is working flawless thanks to your support. Regards, Convergence Team
Hello, You can run a backup of your template using CSVI Maintenance -> CSVI Pro -> Backup template. Select the import template you are using and then click Continue. Send the downloaded XML file and your import file.

hi, in making the list of export products, export CSVI me well fields (sku, quantity, etc.) but the fields named product and brand name are empty. I enclose the two screenshots of the configuration and the file export. I did this even with VM-1 with the "old" CSVI and I never had problems. could you give me indications thanks a lot Guglielmo joomla 3.4.4 VM3 CSVI Pro 5.21.2
Hello Eliot, Did you try updating CSVI package as suggested in my previous post? Can you try creating a test site with only Joomla and CSVI installed and see if you still get this error on import?
I think the problem is not the import but rather that CSVI doesn't return any specific status and the server complains abou that. You can check the Logs in CSVI to see if your cron import processed all records or not.
Hello, You should update to CSVI Pro 5.21.2, there this issue is already dealt with. Older versions of VM have this table but VirtueMart 3, no longer has. Hence the update in a newer CSVI version to deal with this change.
Hello, There is a missing database field in #__csvi_templatefields table and so you are getting this error. Go to CSVI About page and click on Fix database button to fix the missing field for CSVI table. Run the export after that.
Hello, I have againt installed csvi 5 pro, runs ok and I have the past information :-). I tried again to import and without succes. I adjoint the last csvi file and the last debug file Thanks
Hello, First thing i noticed is that your file is not UTF8 encoded. You need to [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/916-save-a-csv-file-as-utf-8]Save your file as UTF-8 encoded file[/url] before proceeding with import. For J2Store product import, have a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/282-j2store/3516-j2store-product#import]J2Store Product import[/url] document. Once you have your J2Store Product import template created you can then add template fields to your import and map the fields from your import file to template fields. Alternatively you can also use [url=https://csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=915&catid=22&Itemid=252]CSVI Field mapper[/url] to map your fields with CSVI import fields.
Hello, Your CSV file is incorrect. If you look at the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/support/import/203-virtuemart/1047-custom-fields-for-all-for-virtuemart]tutorial for Custom Fields For All[/url] you will see that the [b]custom_value[/b] must always be customfieldsforall. In your case this is the custom_title field. So you will have to fix that before CSVI can import them correctly. You will have to switch the fields custom_value and custom_title around. That should make things a lot better.
[quote]Hello Sigrid, [quote] ... [/quote] Since your CSV file had a name for image CSVI has created an entry for the image. For the rows which dont have no images you may have to set the value to empty and so no product and media relation is created. [/quote] But in which table is this media entry created when I make the import? I cannot find anything. There is no entry in table xxx_virtuemart_product_medias But in VM3 it shows "Media Files" (1) Thanks Sigrid
Hello, Seems like your available fields table is not getting updated properly. can you try this Uninstall CSVI, Install CSVI and then install the VirtueMart addon, update the available fields and see if you can see these fields?
Hello, You see 403 forbidden error when you don't have access to a page. Are you seeing this error only when accessing CSVI pages? If yes, check if CSVI is not blocked by any firewall on your server.
with csvi 7 and the fastseller plugin I can no longer make export or import of the product type name even the standard templates of csvi give no result error Invalid field: Product type name if i remove the field (Product type name) remove from the template, the export empty I have no problems with virtuemart in or exports only fast seller exports and imports [attachment]2017-01-06 19_54_27-CSVI -fastseller.png[/attachment] [attachment]2017-01-06 19_52_03-CSVI - .png[/attachment] I can not Enable logging for any adjustment in the template delivers attached error Invalid field: Product type name
In that case you have not installed the [url=http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-2-0]VirtueMart addon[/url]. That is needed if you want VirtueMart import/export in your site.
Hello to everyone, i have created 3 Ramifications(Color, Size, Fabric). As a demo i have created a product and 14 children for it with a combination of Ramifications. Is there a way to export parent and all children of it with all Ramifications respectively? Till now i am getting only 1 row at the exported csv with parent only and all 3 ramifications-columns zero. Additionally, i would like to create the rest of the children for all combinations(color, size, fabric) and import them through CSVI. Till now getting 500 - internal server error. But probably the exported csv might be wrong formated. Attaching the exported file for your reference. There is no child in it. thank you very much.
Hello, [quote]In addition, when I go to Csv Improved Dashboard I have the following error:[/quote]If you know how, can you tell me what the collation of that field is? Usually you can view the database using PhpMyAdmin and go to the table csvi_sefurls. Go to the structure of the table. Take a screenshot of that and post it here and I can see what is going on. If you have no problem with that field, you can leave it as-is. [quote]In addition, when I go to Csv Improved Dashboard I have the following error:[/quote]Go to System -> Clear cache. You should see CSVI there, you can delete that entry. That should solve this issue.
Hello, The error is the same so something did not go right. Go into your database and manually delete all the tables that start with w47fa_csvi_. After that uninstall CSVI and install CSVI again. Check if that helps in your case.
Hello, You can check your import file for any errors using [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/2957-csvi-analyser]CSVI Analyser.[/url]Correct the errors and see if your import goes good after that.
Hi When I try to create a template, Virtuemart is not in the drop down list. I have also followed the steps in "Missing fields in CSVI". I first installed Joomla 3.4.8, then CSVI 6.5.4 and finaly Virtuemart 3.0.14
Hello Support, My joomla version is 3.4.8, virtuemart version is 3.0.14 and CSVI Pro version is 6.4.2. After importing csv I am having following issues. 1) Many products can not be edited in the backend. following Error on Save. Error vmError: Media files must have a title 2)Some items after they are imported via CSVI show "no price set" on back end. There is a price. If I hand edit the item and save, it shows the price. 3)Many item have multiple prices. I never created multipleprices. Most times they are the same price, twice. Some times the new price is listed as a second price and the web site shows the old price. Not good for me. Please check the image url http://awesomescreenshot.com/0595u9gxc7 4)Problem with thumbnail images. Many do not get set up correctly. I have to remove the (default url) in the back end and save. Sometimes this help. Please check image urls http://awesomescreenshot.com/0075u9hec4 http://awesomescreenshot.com/06c5u9hp39 http://awesomescreenshot.com/0735u9i3a4 Please help me to solve issues. if you need csv I am attached with post.
Hello, If you go to System Information, does it say Litespeed as Web Server? If so, there seems to be a problem with that type of server, it doesn't return the response of CSVI. That is problematic because CSVI can't work without JSON.
Hello, You need to create a rule for this using CSVI Value comparison plugin. To do that go to CSVI rules page and click New, give a name to your rule, select Action as export, plugin as CSVI value comparison and click load plugin button. Select the comparison you want, old value to be 1 and new value as 'In stock', Save the rule. Now go to your export template fields and apply this rule on product_in_stock field. When you do a export CSVI will check the values in database and replace with new value for product_in_stock field as set in the rule. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, [quote]Another question: And about removing repeated words (we don’t know who they are or even if they exist), Does exist something that we can use? Like this: CSVI is great. I recommend CSVI. To This: CSVI is great. I recommend.[/quote] There is no direct way of doing this with CSVI. You need to write some custom code to read each word of the sentence into an array, find the unique of array and then put them back as a sentence. You can [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1228-writing-a-rule-plugin]write your own rule plugin[/url] with this custom code.
I bought CSVI Pro to upload virtuemart products to my site. I've used the Pro CSVI in joomla 2.5 I found it excellent . The component is very good to want to leave are the tutorials , because I can not understand anything . You do not have a video and text only , let's personal best this. Tips - post videos of the new best csvi pro is better than a lot of text that confuse people
Hello Gabriel, I see how you created the tables, did you tell CSVI you created these tables? If not, go to Available Fields and click on the Update button so CSVI knows these fields exist. Before you run the import, you can check the Preview screen that CSVI shows. If you see the fields there, they will be imported, if you don't see them, they will not be imported. Let me know how it goes.
Hello Marcus, Just sent you this answer on your question via email as well: The reason you don’t see it is because you haven’t installed the VirtueMart addon yet. You can go to https://csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-7-2-0 and choose VirtueMart at the bottom of the page to download. After that you can install it in Joomla and it should appear in CSVI as well.
Hello, Which CSVI version are you using? Starting with CSVI 7.7.0 version we have given an option to limit debug log entires. By default the number of entries is 20 and it can be increased by going to CSVI Dashboard page >> Options >> Site and in Number of lines in log file field. If you are on older version, either update to latest version or try running a smaller import file to get small debug log.
Hello Marcel, You need to download and install the VirtueMart addon from the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-5-7]extension downloads[/url]. After that VirtueMart will show up as well.
Hello, Please follow the document [url=https://csvimproved.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1068&catid=22&lang=en-GB&Itemid=252]Uninstall CSVI[/url] to remove the leftovers and then do a clean installation of CSVI.
Hello, The issue you are having is more of an HikaShop support question and not for CSVI. CSVI is not responsible for deletion of your orders. We gave you a hint in order to help you to find the cause for the your issue.
Hello, There is no option in CSVI to call external URLs for cron jobs. One solution to try here is that you can create your own script which calls CSVI cron.php file and trigger your script as a cron in www.easycron.com.
I apologize for my poor english. I created an ecommerce site (www.smar-tech.it, I'm italian) using: - joomla 3.5.1 - virtuemart 3.0.16 - csvi pro 6.5.7 I'm trying to import a catalog (file .csv of 130Mb) with about 40000 products. Every time I try to upload the file the process ends after 120 seconds, and the program tells me the error that says the photos attached Cattura1.jpg. I also tried to divide the .csv file (130 Mb) into smaller files to upload (3 Mb, 1200 products) but after 120 seconds the problem returns. I tried to upload the csv file is from my pc. I tried to upload it directly to a folder you created on the server. After 120 seconds always the same problem. To be precise, for each upload the csv file in virtuemart products cards I find a hundred products with its category, the manufacturer, the price etc., etc. Then I would understand if: 1) Is a server problem (timing ?) ? I sent a message to report the problem to the manager of hosting. 2) I wrote incorrectly setting the csv file? If so why I find myself in virtuemart updated products? 3) Third and last, there is a problem in csv? thank you all for the help.
Hello, Did you follow the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]upgrade instruction[/url]? If so, CSVI would have converted your templates to the new format. You are in a bit of a pickle now because your current installation is incomplete. The best way forward would be to restore a backup of your site somewhere and follow the upgrade instructions. Once that is done, you have the templates in CSVI 6 format and you can backup and restore them from the maintenance section. With that backup in hand, you could completely remove CSVI from your current site and do a clean CSVI 6 install and after that restore the backup templates in there and you should have your templates again. One note, the replacement rules are not converted, they will have to be redone.
Hello, Please check the document [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1076-installation-or-updating-of-csvi-6]Installation or upgrading of CSVI Pro[/url], the solution for this error is explained under [b]possible errors[/b] section.

Hi, In the old version of CSVI I could select what manufacturer to export in the Options tab. I can not find this functionality in the new version of CSVI? Does it exist? Is there a way to export just one manufacturer ? Thanks
Thanks, component it was updated. However, I started updating only of CSVI. I wanted to update a plug-in for FastSeller later, but it disappeared from the list of updatings. Whether everything is normal, it was updated together with the main CSVI component?
Hello Nelia, It looks like you are using an external plugin for product attachments which is not supported by CSVI. As you mentioned the table wfi3p_virtuemart_product_attachements is related to the plugin you have used and CSVI doesn't know how to handle this.
When trying to edit an existing template (for virtualmart) i get the following error: Error Layout admin:com_csvi/templates/default not found. I tried to reinstall after removing all the csvi tables.. no luck Csvi 6.1.2 | Joomla! 3.4.4 Thx!
Hello, I do see the issue that sub category name has been used for main category_name from your debug log queries but running import with your template and your import file gets me the right category_name(Screenshot attached). Which version of CSVI VirtueMart addon you are using? If you are running any old version of the CSVI VirtueMart addon, update it to latest 7.4.1 version and run the import again. You can download the latest extension at [url=https://csvimproved.com/downloads]CSVI Downloads[/url] page and from CSVI Pro Extensions section. [attachment]Screen Shot 2018-01-25 at 11.22.15 AM.png[/attachment]
Hello, Let's break down the issues you have. First the CSVI version, the current version is 6.5.5, you will need to update to that version to be able to run it on Joomla 3.5. I know you have 3.4.8 but that should be updated as well :) Second, not seeing VirtueMart in the dropdowns, you need to install the addon after you installed CSVI component, so that is one thing you should check. The second is to go to Maintenance -> Tasks and click Reset. After that check if you see VirtueMart in the task list. If you see VirtueMart in the task list, go to Maintenance -> Available Fields and click Update, so you have all the fields. [quote]And when installing templates examples, "virtuemart" examples are not installed neither.[/quote]This also indicates that the addon is installed before the component. Finally the Download ID, this is odd because this is not CSVI but Joomla code. So Joomla can't save the configuration. It would almost indicate that there is no database entry for CSVI. You do see CSVI under Component -> CSVI Pro?
Solved! :( Don't forget always to download and enable the Plugin "Custom Fields For All custom field" from here http://www.csvimproved.com/en/downloads/csvi-pro-extensions/csvi-pro-extensions-6-3-0 That was my mistake :whistle: :whistle:
Hello, Apologies, I mistook it for an export because the file is called export.csv I guess :) [quote]How can I tell cron.php that working parts of big csv like JS?[/quote]You cannot because JavaScript is only available in your browser. [quote]cron.php read 100 rows and than read other 100 rows etc. [/quote]You will need to break up the import file into smaller pieces in that case. CSVI can read multiple CSV files from a single folder by specifying a folder name instead of a filename to import. Perhaps if you have PHP 7 available for CLI it may work with a single file because it handles memory quite a bit better than previous versions.

Hello Rene, We are happy to hear that your import and exports are working good. As you said yourself, CSVI is a big and complex extension so it really needs some help for new users and we are doing that. We would appreciate if you can share your experience by writing an review for CSVI on [url=https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/migration-a-conversion/data-import-a-export/csvi-pro/]Joomla extension directory[/url].
Hello, [quote]where is plg_csviaddon_virtuemart_csvi_6.4.0 ??[/quote] You can find it on our CSVI site downloads page and on CSVI Pro extensions section. The latest version is 6.5.7, look for virtuemart download and install it. But make sure you have your CSVI component to latest version 6.5.7 to avoid conflicts. [quote]do i have to download and install to access the virtuemart templates?[/quote] Yes you need to install this to create virtuemart templates.
Hello, Email received and the issue is not with CSVI but with how the name is stored. The apostrophe is stored as an HTML entity, so that is what CSVI exports. A replacement rule can be used to change the apostrophe back to what it really is.
Hello Tim, So that doesn't help if you talk about CSVI 5 and I am talking about CSVI 6. Anyways, you still need to select the Snelstart option for export to get the shipping_ fields. Did you choose that?

Hello, There is no setting you need to do, you just need to copy the CSVI translated files to Spanish language folder and if your Administrator default language is set to Spanish CSVI will be automatically translated by the newly placed translated files.
Hello, There is one issue i see with your import file for category_id, the fields ending with _id should be numbers as most of them are database increment field. You may need to correct that field. You can also take a look at [url=https://csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/915-csvi-field-mapper]CSVI Field mapper[/url] to map your field to CSVI template fields. If you are still having trouble then send me your template XML file to check. You can get the backup of your template by going to Maintenance -> CSVI Pro -> Backup template. Download the XML file and post it.

Hi, That's odd, it's second time I don't have some field, but after resetting it comes back (different websites). I'm 100% sure I installed CSVI Pro 6 RC1 after Hikashop and I did "update available fields" (even if while installing CSVI "update available fields" is running), so it was a clean install, no CSVI before, yet still I had to make a reset to have missing field. Best regards, Chris
Hello Davide, [quote]I have two questions: - The csv file contains various brands. I can define a filter to import only some brands? [/quote] There is no filter in CSVI to import specific brands. You have to have them organised in your import file. [quote] - I use the same CSV file of products also import categories. I can import the first image of the product in a category and use only one picture for the category, avoiding to associate multiple images to the same category? [/quote] This is again something you need to handle in your CSV file. If you want only one image, file_url field has to have that image. There is no option in import to say to import only the first image from the import file. [quote]I apologize for my bad English.[/quote] Good enough for us to understand what you wanted to ask :)
Correct, it hangs on the preview. I tried to download the tempfiles but i can't, its to big. So i made a screenshot. Every run that fails csvi-pro creates a mapstructure like in the screenshot. I must delete the temp map otherwise my backend has troubles with some functions. It must be the UTF-8 encoding that misses, the testfile was saves as an Excel-csv, ik created it myself. I will try to make an new exportfile and then save it as it is, so i import the same file.
Hello, [quote]Now the main question remains how to export the virtuemart products from the main domain since it seems there are errors in the database and csvi is not working properly.[/quote] What are the errors with your database? Are these related to CSVI?
Hi, i have serious problem. I have csvi pro 6.2.0, Joomla 3.4.4, PHP 5.3.29. When i create new template, i see only Joomla content and CSVI PRO component in list of components. :( Can you help me?
Hello, [b]Configuration[/b] Joomla: 3.4.1 MySQL: 5.5.42 VM: 3.0.7 CVSI Pro: 5.21.2 Hello, I am having issues exporting custom tables using CSVI Pro. I can export all standard VirtueMart fields just fine. If I try even a single Custom Field I get a mySQL syntax error. I have tried different custom fields and only the product_sku and one custom field. I have also updated my list of available fields and reset the field in CSVI. Nothing has helped. Below is the error message I am receiving. Do you have any suggestions? Error: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4 SQL=SELECT `p`.`customfield_value` FROM abcde_virtuemart_product_customfields p LEFT JOIN abcde_virtuemart_customs c ON p.virtuemart_custom_id = c.virtuemart_custom_id WHERE c.custom_title = 'Details' AND p.virtuemart_product_id = Thanks! --Gary
Hello David, CSVI has not been tested against the Hathor template, only the Isis template. Since CSVI is using Bootstrap everywhere, that is the part that would need CSS correcting I think. I am no star when it comes to styling :)
Hello, The error you see is because CSVI is trying to apply an index on the plainurl field in your database. This is for speeding up the lookup of a value in there. I won't bore you with the technical details but I can tell you I have fixed this and installed CSVI Pro 7.5.1 successful on your site. These changese will be included in the next release of CSVI, so you should have no problem updating in the future.
Hello, [quote]I can't seem to find what am i doing wrong.[/quote]After you created the custom fields in VirtueMart, did you run the Update on the Available fields page in CSVI so CSVI knows about these fields?
Hello, Which CSVI version are you installing? I tested the CSVI Pro 5.10 install on a clean Joomla 3.1.1 site and had no problems installing. If you are using version 5.10, you can delete the file administrator/components/com_csvi/install/availablefields/com_virtuemart.php and the file administrator/components/com_csvi/install/availablefields/com_akeebasubs.php and then continue the installation. To do that go to Components -> CSVI Pro -> Dashboard -> Installation. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, There is no RSForms support in CSVI. The only thing that could be used is the custom table export option. This exports a complete table, so you can't do any filtering in CSVI. For more details see the [url=https://www.csvimproved.com/support/questions-and-answers/1101-custom-tables-export]Custom tables export[/url] document. One question though, RSForms has an export option built-in to export submissions, why try to do it with CSVI?
Hi I haven't yet used CSVi but I am planning on using it with a new component I am building. I know that it is possible to use CSVi to take an xml file and import it into a specific database table. My question is; is it possible for CSVi to import the xml file to different tables depending on certain values within the xml file? For example; if I were to have the following xml file: [code type="xml"] 1 Name 1 2 Name 2 [/code] Would CSVi be able to add the first to a column in table #__com_mycomponent_table1 and the second to a column in #__com_mycomponent_table2 based on the value of the element? Thank you
