Resolved Joomla Content: Wrong export file with issues

Hello,
Your question is missing in the post. Also please post the debug log of the import to check. To know how to get the debug log check Where to get the debug information? section on top of this page.

Good morning,

thx Roland. I have activated the two fields and uploaded the pics to mages/stories/virtuemart/category. I can now see the pics, but alt-text is still missing.

Live shop:https://gyazo.com/01997a72bc59bb90d2c2af3387aa44fd
Imported into the new shop: https://gyazo.com/3db2536869f404e32bda0baceed98d9e

I wanted to upload the log-file in here, but it doesn't work, https://gyazo.com/195e930723b5f917954f235ba42ae361

I have uploaded in on my server for you: http://new3.beast-supplements.de/logfile.txt

Your support is really good!!! Can I give a feedback for you after all is done?

Hello,
Your are missing field file_url in your import file so pics are missing. You need to upload the images to VirtueMart default category path images/stories/virtuemart/category before doing the import and in your import file have file_url field with corresponding image names for categories. That should get images for your categories after import. For alt-text you can have field file_meta in your import file or if not available CSVI will import image name as alt-text.

Goof morning (from germany) :-)

... my fault, i ment the VM Categories, not Joomla! I have imported the Vm categories again, metas are now available, pics and "alt-text" are missing https://gyazo.com/ff957ab12a241d26c060330720a69852

There you go, here is the log-file: com_csvi.log.26.zip

Hello,

Let's focus on one issue at the time, the Joomla categories. You are talking about Joomla categories but the images you posted are for VirtueMart categories. What are we talking about here?

I am missing your debug logs to see what is going on, so post those and I will have a look.

Hi Roland,

thx for answering. OK, I will now give you the exact info for each field/template which I want to import.

Joomla Content has allready been imported correctly.

Joomla Categories, please see the shown info:
- https://gyazo.com/2d7c0e0e1efa46b81c7074fbd0fdd785 (live shop)
- https://gyazo.com/d7586d760a59a99069cea10f8ab90b9d (live shop)
At the moment the metas, description and image section (complete!) are missing.

Joomla Menu, should import everything (title, alias, link and so on).

The VM import of the products is working, but I can'*t see the pics and this section is completely empty, the manufacturers and also the metas (description and keys) and also the currency and the generated fields. Please see:
- https://gyazo.com/8b49e09b0957270feb0bf10efc5fa993 (live shop)

The VM categories and manufacturers don't work. I will send you the logindatas for the live and the new shop via PM, sou can see the exact datas.

Live shop: Joomla 3.4.8 and VM 3.0.12

New shop: 3.6.4 an VM 3.0.18

CSVI is 6.6.4

Please see the backup from your component.

Thx, your support is great!

Hello,

Uploading a 15MB file usually doesn't work because of server upload limits. Either increase this upload limit in your php.ini file or place the file on the server and let CSVI read it from the server. This way you work around the upload limit.

As for the imports that are not working, let's take one issue at a time, doing multiple at once will confuse too much. So for the category import you need to post the information requested at the top under Looking for a useful answer?. Only then are we able to help you further.

Hello,
Can you check your preview page using firebug console to check if you see any Javascript error? Please post the screenshot of firebug console.

Hi Roland,

I've now tried to export the Joomla menu & categories and also the VM products. The Joomla content has worked, but the menu doesn't work, categories either and by importing the VM file -- empty page when I'm clicking on "Preview". Please see here: https://gyazo.com/c63b81f8e48a3f7c8c7ae2284fe23cb1
By the way, the Vm file has about 15MB.

Thx Roland!
1. "CSV-file" Export is working now.

2. Yeah!!!! I think the import of the content has worked!

I will now try to import the joomla menu, categories and at last: VM.

Hello,

Altough I'm getting no .csv-file

That is because you have set the Filename for exported file to Joomla-Content and not to Joomla-Content.csv.

When I'm trying to import it is looking like this

That is looking good to me. What problem do you see?

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!

Hello,

the file was exported with NO addition

That means you did not add the extension to the filename. CSVI doesn't add any extension because there are systems that don't use an extension. So if you want a file extension, you need to provide it.

You did not post the information requested at the top of this page under Looking for a useful answer? so I can't say what has happened. However it kind of looks like you did not set any text enclosure in your export file. This is needed because you are dealing with HTML tags. So the field delimiter you would set to ; or , and the text enclosure needs to be set to " and this will give you a CSV file that should be readable.
