Title: Help with xml import
Post by: djpete on September 03, 2015, 03:26:28 AM
I have a website using Virtuemart that needs xml data imported with all products and pictures.
The xml file has separate sheets in it and the website has custom fields.

I am told it has been imported successfully before using CSV Advanced which is installed.

I need someone to show me how to import the data so I can teach the customer to do it for themselves.

I am willing to pay.

I see no mention of xml imports @ http://joomdonation.com/docs/csvadvanced/..  only csv
Is it even supported now as there is no mention of it on the http://joomdonation.com/ main site

Hi,
I think as GJC
http://joomdonation.com/docs/csvadvanced/ seems to be dead and at joomla extentions, this was removed.
I think using csvi PRO can do same and more(i never tested it with xml)

sorry xls not xml.
Here is the database.
All the fields are the same on the cart but I think a import template needs to be made. Does that sound right?
