Hi, I am running Joomla v. 3.1.5 and I just acquired v. 5.11 of CSVI. I am running K2 v. 2.6.7.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I am new to this wonderful component :)

Anyway…

I have a pretty basic CSV file to import and so far it looks pretty straightforward. However, I have a couple of Extra Fields to import, namely Part Number and Price. Do I include the path, same principle as Category (e.g. extra_field/part_number and extra_field/price?

…or am I on the wrong track?

Please advice me of the correct method.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

(I assume the file you want me to open is extrafieldimport.php),
Oops, I forgot to mention the file. The file is the itemimport.php file as we are doing an item import. Can you check that one?
Kind regards,

RolandD

Hi,

I just checked the file you speak of and it contains the line:

//$this->extra_fields = '[]';

Thanks.

Hello,

Ok, so I have tackled the problem. I must have had tunnel vision not to see this earlier :) The problem is that your file is too simple. With that I mean, there is not enough information for CSVI to find the correct K2 Item. A unique item is determined based on the alias and category_path. Both these fields are missing from your import file.

Attached is the file I used that imported the custom field values.

Ha, ha!

I just imported the file you attached and it works like a dream.

But no worries, I wouldn't have figured it out on my own. I kept my .csv file simple for testing purposes, and that obviously worked to my disadvantage.

And so we can mark this issue as *solved* and I would like to thank you very much for your assistance!
