Resolved Install problem on RO CSVI

I am moving a site from one hosting company to another. I am doing a clean install to get rid of all the junk accumulated over the years. I've updated the old site to Joomla 3.10.10 and installed the same on the new site. I was hoping to use RO CSVI to export the articles and convert K2 items and import them into the new site. But when I install RO CSVI on the old site, I get the message that the plugin is activated, but a warning: "Could not record the package ID for this package's extensions." I do not see the RO CSVI under the "Components." I have also installed it in the new Joomla site, and I do see it there. I have tried exporting the "content" from phpMyAdmin from the old site, but it times out when I attempt to import it (csv) on the new site.

The articles are not so numerous that I could not replicate them manually on the new site, but it makes me cry to think of manually converting the almost 1500 K2 items.

Hello Patti,
I did run the solution for categories and that did enable me to export the categories and import them into the new site.

Not sure why but language field was empty instead of *.

The export does now work, but when I try to import the K2 items export csv into the new site, I get this

That is because you have set wrong Component and Operation on Details tab. See attached screenshot. I have changed it to K2 component and Item operation. Your import should work now. Please check.

Thank you. That worked. But now (of course!) I'm having problems exporting the K2 items. I have selected all fields except those asking for created by or modified by.

I tried removing "filename" from the fields, but I just got a different error for not finding "itemID"

Thank you.

OK, here you go. I should have thought of doing that. I just saw that there was no log and forgot it had to be turned on for each template.

Hello Patti,
Thank you for posting the debug log. I was able to see the cause for the error. Please load the attached patch file and run the export. Also, to export K2 item attachments data use fields attachments_filename, attachments_hits, attachments_title and attachments_titleAttribute in export template. Let me know on how the export goes with patch file.

I haven't done anything yet. Thanks for your efforts. But I have a question about the fields you say to use in the export file. Are those in addition to other fields? Or I should export using ONLY those fields? As far as I know none of my K2 items have attachments.

Yes those are additional fields and can be added along with other export fields. These fields are specific to K2 attachments data and if you are sure that you do not have attachments or don't want to export attachments data you can remove these fields from export.
Kind regards,

Thank you for your continued help. I loaded the patch file. The K2 items export failed however. I have attached the log file.

Hello Patti,
You did not tell us the error you are having with the export. What if you remove the fields itemID and titleAttribute from export fields and run the export? Does the export finish without any error?
Kind regards,

Tharuna

I'm sorry. I thought that the log would tell you. It says "(for 1476 lines) "the action is "incorrect," the result is "failure" and the message is "Cannot load the category path for category ID 2 and language *"

If I remove itemID and titleAttribute, the same thing occurs.

Thank you.

Hello Patti,
Did you run the solution I gave in the reply earlier here?

When I ran the Custom table export of K2 Categories, the language field value empty for most of the fields instead of *. So I ran custom table import and updated the language field. Now there is no error ""Cannot load the category path for category ID 2 and language *" with K2 Items export. Please check the export and let me know.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Oh, goodness, what a stupid mistake! But unless there is something unexpected I'm not seeing, they appear to have imported correctly! I can't think you enough. Your customer support has been wonderful.
