Hi guys,

I wanted to export my Joomla content, especially this fields: https://gyazo.com/d3912a26e5b8965a9510873bdd9cc077 the file was exported with NO addition, so I added ".csv" by myself after the export. As I imported the file, the artciles were looking like this: https://gyazo.com/06465cdbdcc5499292c78c18701bf1b9.

I am newbie. I want to export and import all Joomla menus, categories and articles, after that Virtuemart...

Can you please help me? I have read the tutorials, but I can't find the issue.

Thx, B.

Hello,
OK I see the problem now... http://gyazo.com/5070f057a8e742a47901d77dfba2764d file is not published and the field: "Einzigartiger Dateiname" is missing. I have now made a new importfile. The field "published" is now activated and the pics are here http://gyazo.com/432348839d3e7ff603536e79f72e1846 . Which field do I have to add for "Einzigartiger Dateiname"?

You need to use file_title field for "Einzigartiger Dateiname".

I looked at your tutorial for the manufacturers, thx for that.The field "mf_name" was missed... I can now see the manufaturers, but no pics and also no "alt-text" and "Einzigartiger Dateiname", please see. http://gyazo.com/7ca2c1366301cea7a271f08037958d16

The manufacturer image was taking duplicate path in import so images has not worked. Please load the attached patch file using CSVI maintenance menu and update your available fields in both of your sites, the old shop and new shop. After that add file_meta and file_title fields to your export fields in your old shop to get alt-text and Einzigartiger Dateiname and import in to your new shop.

Hello,
Is your medias published? Check if your media files are published else use media_published field in your import file and set the value to 1 so your images are published.
Where do I have to look for (published)? I have used media_published now, but can't see them either.

You can see the published field in VirtueMart >> Product categories >> click on category >> Images tab, under image information, file published? as a checkbox. Can you post the debug log of import with media_published field?

For manufacturer import you don't have any manufacturer related fields. The import file just has file_url and file_url_thumb which is not enough. Please have a look at import VirtueMart manufacturer to know on the required fields for manufacturer import. You need to have the required fields along with file_url and file_url_thumb so manufacturers are created in your new shop and the corresponding images are linked.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Can you post the manufacturer CSV file too? Debug log shows there is nothing processed so need to check what is in import file.
Sure, my fault! There you go.

Yes, this way product will be linked to manufacturer and categories if data is already there.
Allright, thx, this is what I want to do.

Hello,
So do I have to input the field also in the VM product export or is it now still available and activated?

These fields are already available in VM product export, you need to add them to your template fields and export it so you can import to your new shop.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello Braun,
The problem was that all media fields were not supported in VirtueMart category export and so you were not seeing file_meta field in your export file which in turn did not import this field in to your new shop. I applied a patch in your live shop site in CSVI maintenance menu and now your export file shows file_meta field. Try doing a fresh export from your old shop and do an import to your new shop. That would solve your issue problem with alt-text.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello Braun,
There is still no file_meta field in your import file, you need to have this field in your import file like other fields so CSVI imports it into your database. Please add this field to your import file and then try the import.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello,
So field in export and import template have to be the same, is this right?

Yes, you have to export all the fields you need from your old shop and use the file to import into your new shop so you move all the data.
Kind regards,

Hello,
You have sent your import csv file instead of debug log but that helped. You have file_meta as template field but you don't have that field in your import file. You need to have file_meta field with the text you need for your images in your import file too.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello,

allright, I've done this before and it didn't work. Now I have changed the settings back to: https://gyazo.com/896c4d4d821c7a7183b215b52c4477da

I've exported the file and imported it, result as followed: https://gyazo.com/a30cb1b377896e4d914a648d37cd409f Again, no own "alt-text".

I've send you the logfile via e-mail again.

Hello,
Yes, if you want your own alt-text then you need to add file_meta field in your import file and add your own alt-text. In this case you need to set back fill media fields option to No in your template settings so CSVI don't autofill alt-text with image name. Hope it is clear.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

No problem, your wellcome!

OK, so I've now changed the settings in the import template to this: https://gyazo.com/2f9202cfd1ae239a88caf5e06fde4989

I've imported the file again and this is the result: https://gyazo.com/40f21114b789171926f59c2337e7426b
looks better, but I want to have the "alt-text" in my new shop as in my live shop: https://gyazo.com/86cbd94730fbee61898a695df43dd187

Does it work?

Hello,
Thank you for sending the log file. If you need CSVI to fill the media fields then in your import template settings on images tab under General options set fill media fields to Yes and then do the import. This option will tell CSVI to use image name as file_meta, file_title and file_description. Try it and let me know.
Kind regards,

Tharuna
