XML importing?
News and General
Hi all,
Does anyone know of any XML importing add-ons for EE other than DataGrab? It isn’t updated for version 6.x yet, I haven’t been able to get a response from the creator, and I want to move my site content to 6.x, but don’t want to update - want to start with a clean install, and import my 10K+ entries. I’ve done this before - about 2K entries ago - and it worked fairly smoothly. (Skipped versions in between PLUS a move to a new server, and seeing the issues that other upgraders have had…I would far rather just start fresh.)
https://www.zealousweb.com/expressionengine-addons/smart-import-export/ seems to be becoming the import addon for EE6.
Excellent - thanks!!
Having a couple of import issues with Smart Import Export at the moment in ee 6, the guys at Zealous are working on them and hopefully will be importing fine soon. watch this space …
The export appears to work just fine.
Pretty upset with Datagrab disappearing, had done a lot of my original project planning with it but was waiting for ee6 to arrive. tried to contact Andrew about datagrab since November with nothing, so would be dubious about using it anyway even if it appears as I can’t risk unreliable or no support if required.
Hi mickler, The guys at Zealous web have updated Import Export today, fixed the issues I had and just tried it and it imported my 31 test entries perfectly setting the URL_tile and status, made some changes to the csv file and reimported and all the data was updated just fine.
Admittedly I have not tried to import an XML file yet.
There is a page on the Zealous website where you can log in and try it out.
