Resolved K2 extra field is unavailable for export.

Hello,

I have 2 groups of extra fields:
BADS
KITCHEN
In each group i have field, called MANUFACTURER.

Having the same field name is problematic for CSVI. It doesn't understand that you have 2x the same name so it only uses the first one it finds. I can see how this is useful to have 2x the same name. So I can work on a solution but this will only be implemented in CSVI 6 as development for CSVI 5 has ended.

that's sad(
Maybe there could be a workaround to export this fields? such as rename them, refresh something and export with new names?

Ok, i've temporary renamed other fields, to make csvi pro find the fields, that i need to export.
Then i exported all i need, and then renamed one more time. I hove, there will be needed update in version 6)

Renaming the fields will work because CSVI can find them.

As for the update, I have put your request on my todo list.

Hello, I have a similar problem with export extra fields from K2 (CSVI Pro 6.5.7, Joomla 3.5.1, K2 2.7).
I'm trying to export K2 Items with extra fields to a XML file (custom), basic field export correctly, but extra fields are empty. Field names not duplicated. Extra fields are text fields.

<extra>[{"id":"5","value":"Walec"},{"id":"6","value":"Bomag"},{"id":"7","value":"BW174 AD"},{"id":"8","value":"2004"},{"id":"9","value":"5695 mtg"}]</extra>

For example, you can see an empty result for maszyny_uzywane_Marka (marka), maszyny_uzywane_Rocznik(rocznik), maszyny_uzywane_Przebieg(przebieg). For the test I exported „extra” field and the result is correct. <extra>[{"id":"5","value":"Walec"},{"id":"6","value":"Bomag"},{"id":"7","value":"BW174 AD"},{"id":"8","value":"2004"},{"id":"9","value":"5695 mtg"}]</extra>
It is showing that these fields above should not be blank.
Could you help me fix it, please?

Hello,

It is showing that these fields above should not be blank.

That conclusion cannot be reached because there needs to be code to actually debug that extra field. If that code doesn't exist, it won't happen.

maszyny_uzywane_Marka marka
maszyny_uzywane_Rocznik rocznik
maszyny_uzywane_Przebieg przebieg

The fields marka, rocznik and przebieg are your custom header names?

In the XML layout you should be using maszyny_uzywane_Marka instead of marka and the value should be exported. Have you tried that?

Post your debug log as well if the issue still exists.

Thank you for your answer.

The fields marka, rocznik and przebieg are your custom header names?

Yes they are my custom header names.

I tried to type maszyny_uzywane_Marka, I didn't get an empty result but I got in all lines <mark>[maszyny_uzywane_Marka]</mark> instead of <mark> result </ mark>.
I attach the log.

Hello,

I tried to type maszyny_uzywane_Marka, I didn't get an empty result but I got in all lines <mark>[maszyny_uzywane_Marka]</mark> instead of <mark> result </ mark>.

I have not been clear enough. In your list of template fields remove the value for the Custom header, so don't write marka, rocznik and przebieg anywhere.

In your template in the XML keep the <mark>[maszyny_uzywane_Marka]</mark> because that is the original name. Then see how the export goes.

I did as you wrote and I still have an empty result.

Hello,

I don't see any issues in your setup or the debug log. Could you send me Joomla and FTP details in a private message and I will take a look why the field is empty. Thank you.

Hello,

Received the login details and was able to see what is happening. The problem is with the name of your Extra Groups. Your extra group name is maszyny_uzywane but CSVI also uses the underscore to separate group name and field name, so you get maszyny_uzywane_Marka but on export CSVI needs to separate the group and field name. CSVI separates this on the first underscore, so the field CSVI finds is uzywane_Marka. This doesn't exist and so the export is empty.

The solution to this would be to rename your Extra Group as maszyny-uzywane for example. After doing that you will need to update the available fields in CSVI and update the fields in your template and template fields but the export should be OK after that.

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,
I removed the underscore in the group name, and it works now. Thank you for your help

Hello,

Perfect
