Hello!
Yesterday on your demo site i tried to import joomla categories and articles and had weird thing. Maybe it's because of Russian symbols?

When i tried to import articles categories didnt create at all.
When i tried to import categories (file below) new categories appeared, but with incorrect structure. Also i get error Another category with the same parent category has the same alias

My file

~Иордания~^~iordaniya~^~Туры/Азия/Иордания~^~1~
~Индонезия~^~indoneziya~^~Туры/Азия/Индонезия~^~1~
~Индия~^~indiya~^~Туры/Азия/Индия~^~1~
~Зимбабве~^~zimbabve~^~Туры/Африка/Зимбабве~^~0~
~Китай~^~izrail~^~Туры/Азия/Китай~^~1~
~Египет~^~egipet~^~Туры/Африка/Египет~^~1~


It takes me this structure:
Туры
- Азия
Азия
- Иордания
Индонезия
etc

Instead of
Туры
-Азия
--Иордания
--Индонезия
etc

I tried a looooot of different variants with an without aliases, title, last item after / sign, but nothing works. Why?

Hello Cyril,

Thank you for checking out RO CSVI.

This articles import doesn't create categories like i expected. Is it correct?
That is correct. This feature is on our to do list. Although this would just be a simple category creation like you see in Joomla article editing. You cannot import all the category details in an article import.

now i don't have server timeout problem. Don't know why.
That is the world of computing :D If you need to import large files, RO CSVI offers the option to import the file in smaller pieces. We have this explained in the Manage Timeouts article. Just in case you may need it in the future.

I'm ready to buy. Will you include fix in the zip or just attach here a file?
Yes, we will post the patch here for you and include it in the next release as well. So you can update without a problem when the new release comes out.
Kind regards,

RolandD

If your file is UTF8 encoded there should be no problem in processing your file with Russian symbols.

Can you post your import debug log to check? To get the debug log check How to collect debug information? document.

Hello,
We did a small fix to Joomla categories code and it has been uploaded to demo site. You can run your import and check. Please remember demo site data gets reset every 6 hours so your template and logs are lost on reset. You need to create a new template for your import and check. Try the import and let us know on how it goes.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Yes, now it works great!
Also there was a problem with creating categories when i import only products with categories paths.

For example

~name~^~Изображение~^~Алиас~^~parent~^~link_created~
~Далянь - город романтиков, актуально - 2014г~^~images/tours/534.jpg~^~1878-dalyan-gorod-romantikov-aktualno-2014g~^~Tury/Aziya/Kitaj~^~2015-03-26 15:26:26~

My log and screenshot in attach.

Issues:
1. I've already had category "Туры" with alias "tury". After import i get another one "Туры" with alias "туры". But i wait just for update for "Туры" with alias "tury".
2. Also, as you can see we have two "Азия" with the same problem.
3. "Австралия и океания" also have russian alias, not transliterated.
4. "Гуам" has no parent categories at all.

It's almost good now, but second level cats are dublicated (Европа, Азия etc) with same alias. There are only 5 of them, so it's ok. But i attach log file if you can fix it too.
But i have bigger problem with articles import :( Articles appear without category. The same issue i've already saw at demo site. I attached log and screen too.

Hello,

I see Европа and Азия in first level and second level in the screenshot. They are not in same level, Joomla does not allow same alias if the category is in same level.

But i have bigger problem with articles import :( Articles appear without category. The same issue i've already saw at demo site. I attached log and screen too.

Can you also post your import file?. Debug log shows it looks for a category id from category_path. I will run import here and check the articles and its categories. One issue i am seeing in the debug log is about images. It shows File not found: /home/c/cb12099/frega/public_html/images/tours/tours/1775.jpg for most of the images. Are these images in the given path?
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Yes, please check it.
There is no Туры/Европа or Туры/Азия at all, so i dont understand why they appear second time like second level categories without subcategories.
I know about images, its ok for now, i will fix it later.

Hello,
Yes, please check it.

Thank you for sending the import file. I was able to reproduce your issue. The strange part is that these article import issues were hidden and were never noticed. Please load the attached patch file and run your Joomla article import again. Check if your articles are assigned to categories.

There is no Туры/Европа or Туры/Азия at all, so i dont understand why they appear second time like second level categories without subcategories.

But i see most of the categories with Туры/Европа and Туры/Азия as parents. I also found Азия as parent level category in your import file. See attached screenshots.
