CSVi 6.1.2 - J3.4.4
I have about 50 Joomla Menu links to set up all of which will just be external links to specific categories in an ebay store.
I want to be lazy & use CSVi in order to import these, but cant seem to figure out how I could do this from looking in CSVi or support docs?
These links will be set up in a "Hidden" Menu for me to reuse around the site in modules and articles.
Essentially, I will need something like this importing
Link Type, Link, Title
"External","http://www.alink.com","My Menu Title"
Is there a set up for this or will I need to dig into using custom fields?
Any help or ideas, welcome :)

EDIT - I tried a custom field import, from looking at some fields from an export. But this failed with the following error;
Duplicate entry '0-1--' for key 'idx_client_id_parent_id_alias_language' SQL=INSERT INTO hbxys_menu (menutype,title,note,link,type,published,parent_id,level,component_id,checked_out,checked_out_time,browserNav,access,template_style_id,lft,rgt,home,language,client_id) VALUES ('mainmenu','Test2','','2mytestlink.com','url','1','1','0','0','0','0000-00-00 00:00:00','1','0','0','0','0','0','','0')

Hey Andy,
Support for Joomla menu items is on the todo list but not yet implemented.
Is there a set up for this or will I need to dig into using custom fields?
Not really because you need to manage the assets table as well and the hierarchy of the nested set needs to be validated. I can try to dig up some basic working addon this weekend but no promises ;)
Kind regards,

OK great, though not a huge problem.
If I cant get it done with CSVi, I'll just manually create them.
Was just trying to be lazy & save some time.

I am trying not to be lazy by postponing the menu addon ;)
Will keep you updated. Thanks.

Hello Andy,
A prototype of the menu support is done. It currently only adds external links, all other stuff still needs massaging. If you are interested I can send it to you. Let me know.
Kind regards,

Yeah, I haven't added the links yet into that site yet, so I can try the CSVi way ;)
Send it over to me & I'll test it.
What fields do I need to use?
