Resolved Joomla Content: Wrong export file with issues

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,

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.

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,
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.

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 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.

Hello,
The link to your debug log don't work. Please post it as email to tharuna@csvimproved.com.

Hello,

I've sent the logfile via e-mail to you. Questin is standing above. "Alt-text" is missing." Thx!!

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.

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,
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.

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,
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.

Ahhhhh, I understand. So field in export and import template have to be the same, is this right? I will try all my templates at the weekend. I also have more like: VM manufactueres, products and so on. I will try it and get back to you on monday. Thx fur your support and have a nice weekend.

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.

Good morning,

I have tested the settings with exporet and import fields being the same, please see: https://gyazo.com/149914a65442006e92c4adf69bf5eefe

But no "alt-text" again... https://gyazo.com/8b48a1a7d60dfd61ef72f24a6fa204f8

I have sent you the export file and the logfile via e-mail, hope we will get it fixed!

Have a nice weekend,
B. Braun

There you go!!! https://gyazo.com/98c0c3d33b3671ef252c8334320e9822

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

Allright, thx. At the momnent I have one issue with the category import, the pics in the "category layout" view are missing, please see: https://gyazo.com/ed4b0cd00f8e814d0b191a0e9c3ab6da

I have attached the export file for you. I have also problems with importing the manufactueres. I guess I firt havo to import the categories and manufactueres BEFORE the procuts, cause they need the datas, right?

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.

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,

OK I see the problem now... https://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 https://gyazo.com/432348839d3e7ff603536e79f72e1846. Which field do I have to add 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.https://gyazo.com/7ca2c1366301cea7a271f08037958d16

You can look tino the files here. Thx, ave a nice day, I'll be back tomorrow.
