Hello all, If you share the need for mode solid data import, we are looking into cooperative funding to update and improve the CSV import extension. (There have been threads about this, please see http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/fantastic_csv_import_extension_who_owns_it/re_fantastic_csv_import_extension_who_owns_it__9 ) We have been looking into the alternatives for data import available in eZ publish and find all of them lacking in some way or another. Most projects involve migrating data from previous information systems, ranging from open source apps, various databases and the ubiquitous excel spreadsheet. The CSV import extension (http://zev.ez.no/svn/extensions/ ) allows importing comma separated values in flat files. It is available on the SVN repository. It looks good but has no support for 3.6+. It was developed by eZ systems staff. Kristian Hola from eZ systems has kindly given an estimate to get the CSV extension to get the following:
Modify import to work with last eZ release (ref 1)
Update image import (ref 3)
Support import of enhanced object relation (ref 5)
Updating import of ezxmldatatype The estimate is 5 hours of work. Basically this will allow large imports to work on the CLI in the current eZ publish versions. We can fund some of the work, but we need everyone's cooperation to get going. If you are interested, please contact me: fjaramillo (in) aplyca.com
Regards,
Felipe
