ArcheCSV allows to batch import csv data into a Plone Site, mapping csv fields to an Archetypes-based object's fields. This is an initial release, patches and suggesion are welcome!
Usage instructions:
1) create an "importer" instance inside the folder that will contain the batch-created objects
2) follow the step based wizard (schematas):
- give a title to the importer (you may have multiple importers around)
- choose the portal type of the objects you want to import
- upload/paste a csv formatted file *headers must be present* (see example/sample_csv)
- map csv fields to AT fields, if you don't want to use a particular csv field choose "Not used";
if you get an error in this step it is most likely that the csv file previously uploaded is not valid.
Here you can also choose a prefix to use for the imported objects.
- start the batch import and examine log for details
3) check out the imported objects
To test it out it is possible to use the Sample_AT and sample_csv provided in example folder.
To use Sample_AT it must be copied on the product folder and must be included in init.py.
There are currently no items in this folder.
