Hello,
I have a question: Is there a maximum of rows that can be imported?

Thank you – I’m not too sure how to edit the xml file. I tried to delete the line but could not do it. I will do some research on how to edit xml files and give it a try.
Thanks for your help.

Can you just extract the zipped file, and then edit kimport.xml, after that, remove line 19. tempdata/readme.txt, Then zip the whole lot again.

Sorry about this mistake. The error doesn’t show up before. I think newer version of Joomla strictly interprets the component’s configuration file.

Hi
I am learning to build a Joomla Website. My data is mainly tabular data formatted in Excel. I found your Kimport 1.5 article whihe seaching for how to import Excel data into Joomla.
I downloaded the Kimport zip file but got the following error when trying to add it to my Joomla site:
JInstaller::install: File ‘C:\wamp\www\mywebsite\tmp\install_4bb758dcc536b\administrator\components\com_kimport\tempdata\readme.txt’ does not exist.
Can you tell me how to resolve this?

Many thanks
Tony

Please note that the version of Excel is 2003, not 2007.(*.xlsx is currently not supported yet)

Please also note that, column 1 should never contain any content. Row 1 and row 2 are used for meta data (I call them metadata, they are just the mapping description)

Again, the sheet name should be the table name. Exactly the same table name.

Last, if you ignore any error information of the web server, you may not be able to see the error message.
