Resolved Run Import Template by url in csvi 6

Hello,
Please look into Setting up cron tutorial that explains how to build the cron command.

Thank for you answer. A cron is run only on the server not in the link (csvi 5 i can run an import template clicking a link in my browser) in csvi 6 would I run an import template clicking a link in my browser?

Hello,

Running the cron script in a browser is no longer possible in CSVI 6 because it is a true cron script, meaning this requires cron mode to run. If you access the script directly, you will notice there is a message saying so.

Currently only an export can be triggered via the browser as there is specific support for that. Running an import via the front-end is also limited because you can't use any JavaScript for doing a long running import. So in general most imports will need to finish within 30 seconds.

I am looking into making the import available via the browser again but in a more usable way.

What kind of import are you running via the browser?

Hello,
My import is virtuemart products and the limit of 30 sec the is not problem for me, my file is max 50 lines.

Hello,

I am going to check what I can do for triggering an import on the frontend, when I have a patch available, I will send it to you.

Hello,

I have created a patch file for allowing the front-end import. You can load the patch and after that you will have a new option available to run an import when you create a menu item.

After you created the menu item you can see the URL that is used. You should be able to also use Joomla ACL to limit the access to the URL. If you use the URL without a menu item, that is possible as well, CSVI will only do it's own checks.

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,

1) The front-end import not working

This and the debug log you posted is very little information. Do you have the frontend import enabled in your template? Tell me how you have setup the import and if you are using the secret key.

I run the import by url http://mydomain.com/index.php?option=com_csvi&view=import&csvi_template_id=30&key=mysecret&task=import
and by the menu (import front-end) http://domain.com/menu-alias in the 2 cases I see the screen which attached. The menu is public.

Hello,

The import screenshows up but doesn't do anything else. Have a look at the analyze problems tutorials and see what you can find out. It looks like CSVI can't start the import process.

Hello,

So you have sent me a screenshot in which I see that jQuery is not loaded on your site. This is required to run the frontend import. Check in your template if it is possible to enable jQuery and if the import will run then. In the meantime I will check something else as well.

Hello,

That was easier than what I was thinking. Can you check after you load the attached patch file if the import runs?

Thank you very much, Your answer is very very fast and It is work OK!!!
