• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

CSV Import Frontend - add new data

Hi,

I want to import new datas (rows) with an csv-file in the frontend.
In list - "Ver?ffentlichungen" - CSV I set the CSV-Import to the special usergroup.
In the frontend, this usergroup can see "Import from CSV". But if I choose my csv-file I get the error: "the fieds .... (here are my tablerownames listed) cannot be found in the database."
I also tried to import a csv-file without the rownames. The same result.

Please, can anybody help me, what it wrong?
Thank you.

You need the correct element names in the first row and your CSV file must use the correct delimiters and encoding:
standard CSV is UTF8, "," delimiter
Excel format is using ";" delimiter, ISOxy encoding
 
Thank you.
I think I am too stupid.
Ich have in my first row the element names like the names in the database table.
In the other lines I have my values. Seperated with ; (I chanced it in the fabrik frontend import form to ; )
I opend my csv in notepad++ and change the encoding to UTF8.
But I still have the same problem.

What is the "Heading format" set to in your CSV settings (List settings, Publishing, CSV tab)?

If you are just using the "short" names (fields as the appear in the table), make sure you select that option for heading format.

Shoud my import csv look like my export?
I have the following settings in list settings - publishing - csv:
format of the rows: label of the element
csv-format: ecxel csv
witch elements: special chosen elements
including data: yes
include raw-data: no
file-encoding: utf-8
