Hello my dears,
I have a special problem again. I would like to create a Virtuemart menu with category links and product links.

This means that I want to create the menu items from my local ERP system and import them into Joomla via XML file and CSVI.

I already played around with it. But there are some questions.
1. How can I move a menu item (Level2) to another Level 1 or 2 parent menu item? (Duplication seems to work).

In simple words: Move submenu items between parent menu items.

To move the items doesn't work, tried to change the path and the parent id.

<Parent_id> <! [CDATA [257]]> </ parent_id>
<Path> <! [CDATA [alcoholic / gray-burgundy-wine vinegar]]> </ path>

2. How can I delete a menu item? Completely without trash because of the alias URL.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Teresa

Hello Teresa,

With CSVI you cannot move the menu item from one parent to another but can create a menu item under a new parent. So if you have a menu item with path home/gray-burgundy-wine-vinegar and you want to create gray-burgundy-wine-vinegar under another parent alcoholic, in your import file change the path of the menu item as alcoholic/gray-burgundy-wine-vinegar. This will create menu item under new path and the old parent will remain the same. As of now moving from one parent to another is not possible but we will keep this in our todo list and include it in future CSVI versions.

2. How can I delete a menu item? Completely without trash because of the alias URL.

There is no option to delete a menu item but you can include the attached patch file and do the below.
1. Load the patch file from CSVI maintenance menu.
2. Update the available fields.
3. In import file include a field menu_delete with value set to Y for menu item to be deleted.
4. Run the import.

If you have any issues with the patch, don't forget to post the import debug log and import file.
