I'm looking for data import options, as in from a csv or xml, or whatever. The data can be massaged to best fit the import method. The constraints are that extra cost (as with CMSImport or UmbImport) is not an option for the project I'm working on. I'm new to Umbraco, so I don't even know if there's a way to directly import to the database, as one might with phpmyadmin. Any tips would be much appreciated.
CMSImport is free if you import less than 500 records. If you want to code yourself you need to use the Document API.Here is an old snippet that helps you
That's very helpful, thank you! I'll be importing over 1000 records, but the wikibooks link you've provided is a huge, huge help. Especially since most of the links to umbraco documentation that I come across are dead links to an earlier version of the umbraco site.
import options?
