[Module] fast_content_csv_v09

OK, you can try it this way:

first you have to create a tv where your old docid goes, because you cannot overide docids.
Name this TV olddocid or something like that.

1. start the module
2. no matter which workspace click ’next’
3. go to tab workspace
4. type into new workspace: products and in new action you can type: import or what else you want
5. click ’change’ workspace. Now you have created a new workspace, if all worked fine
6. go to the tab ’configurations’
7. choose your csv-file you want to upload
8. click ’save config’ the file should now be uploaded in the right folder for this workspace
9. choose your new csv-file as source file
9. choose the template you want to use for the imported files, if there is no templateid given in your csv-file
10. click ’save config again’
11. go to the field config tab
12. The matching fieldnames should be autoselected. Fill the Form like this:

Documentfields:
[table]
[tr][td]Doc-fields[/td][td]default-values[/td][td]Source-fields[/td][td]Match-fields[/td][td]parent default-values[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]pagetitle[/td][td][/td][td]pagetitle[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]parent[/td][td][/td][td]parent[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]content[/td][td][/td][td]content[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]
TVs:
[table]
[tr][td]TV-fields[/td][td]default-values[/td][td]Source-fields[/td][td]Match-fields[/td][td]parent default-values[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]price[/td][td][/td][td]price[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]olddocid[/td][td][/td][td]id[/td][td][/td][td][#s#parent#s#][/td][/tr]
[/table]

The last row means: Look for document, where olddocid = value of parent in your csv-file. If you find one, use this document as parent.
If not found and you have checked create parent. Then create first this parent with this value in olddocid and use the new created document as parent.

If the parentfolder you want to go is not 2 as in your csv-file , but e.G. 5000 you can choose for the row parent also:
[table]
[tr][td]Doc-fields[/td][td]default-values[/td][td]Source-fields[/td][td]Match-fields[/td][td]parent default-values[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]parent[/td][td]5000[/td][td]-empty-[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]
If you want to have them published do this:
[table]
[tr][td]Doc-fields[/td][td]default-values[/td][td]Source-fields[/td][td]Match-fields[/td][td]parent default-values[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Published[/td][td]1[/td][td]-empty-[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]
13. go to tab ’start’
14. remove checkbox ’run in testmode’
15. push ’run’

should work this way (did it by me)

i’ve tryed to install this module but simply can’t find the reqiered code for the module/plugin-fields (on page 1 of this thread). hope i’m not blind =)

thanks !

Hi Bruno, a couple of things:

1) Why not put this in the official Extras section on the MODx site?

2) May be a dumb question, but could the CSV separator be made into some other type of probably-never-used-in-content string of characters (semicolons are definitely common at least in English usage, though double-semicolons aren’t)? That way you could ignore return characters in your content and not have to worry about line-breaks or commonly used characters in your CSV fields.

Hi
I can do import:)

but can’t understand how do export:(

for instance:
how export all document in parrent13

parrent13
doc1
doc1doc1
doc2
doc2doc1
doc2doc2
doc2doc3

you can go this way:
1. if you have no unused TV create one. You can name it ’temp’ for example
2. on tab ’Workspace’ create a new action for example ’export’ if not yet done.
3. on tab ’Configurations’ type in an export-filename
4. on tab ’Field-Configs’ choose all fields you want to export
5. in your temp-TV-field type in the startparent: 13 as default-value
6. in field parent default-value type in [#d#temp:childIds=`:1`#d#]
7. choose match-fields for field parent: [#d#parent#d#]
8. on tab ’Start’ check Export and click ’Run’


description for my phx-modifier childids:
/*
* description: Returns commaseperated list of child IDs belonging to the specified parent.
* usage: [+variable:childIds=`depth:returnSelf`+]
* if returnself == ’1’ the startparent is also returned.
* depth defaults to 10
*/

Hi Bruno and all,

I’m currently preparing an English version of the tutorial.
Bye.

J.

nice to hear, thanks!

hi jul,

the plugin is not necessary for working with fast_content_csv. Its an addon if you want start import/export directly from the file-tree.
will have to look on that, when I have time.
