Resolved Import Users with Contact

Hi Corinne,

Welcome to RO CSVI Feel free to ask what you like.

But now I need to create a contact for each user.

These are Joomla Contacts I assume. If so, you need to create a Joomla Contact import template or modify the example template if you have that installed and what to get started with that. It is important to include the email address of the users as RO CSVI will look for the Joomla user ID and connect the contact to the Joomla user. You can read more about on the Joomla Contacts Import page.

What is the best way to do this? Can it be done in one step or does it take several?

This is a 2-step process, first the Joomla users, then the contacts. Basically how you would do it manually.

And how can I prevent contacts from being created for existing users?

You can set the option Overwrite existing data to No on the File tab. That way any existing contacts will not be updated and only new items will be created.

Let us know how it goes.

Hello Roland,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Yes, it is the Joomla contacts.

Where can I find the “sample template”? >>>>>

Ahh, if you know what to look for, you'll find something :-)

I'll try tomorrow and maybe get back to you.

Thanks a lot for the great compo.


Best regards,
Corinne

Hello Corinne,

Where can I find the “sample template”?

Please read the document Install the example templates for RO CSVI addons to get the sample templates.

Let us know if you need any more help.

Good morning

Thank you very much for your quick responses.

One more question for clarification. Is it not possible to create the contacts directly? Do you have to go via export/import?

Not sure what you mean by creating contacts directly. But with RO CSVI you can only import/export contacts.
