    is there a way of importing property data to umbraco content?

    Hi,

    We have a multilingual website and we are managing the content for our meta keywords, meta descriptions and meta titles in different language also (11 languages).

    What I need is to have an excel file that contains all this translation and just have an import button in umbraco to populate the 3 properties (meta keywords, meta descriptions, meta titles)

    Hi Sherry,

    Depending how you've setup the structure you might want to check-out CMSImport PRO. This allows you to Import content from and Excel file.

    Best,

    Richard

    Hi Sherry

    I used code below to import from excel

    if (uploadFile.HasFile)
                {
                    string strFile = MapPath("\\ExcelData\\" + uploadFile.FileName);

                    uploadFile.SaveAs(strFile);

                    string strConn = string.Format(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=Excel 8.0", strFile);
                    OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConn);
                    OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$]", con);
                    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                    da.Fill(dt);
                  
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                    sb.AppendFormat("<p>input file: {0}</p>", strFile);
                    foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
                    {
                        DocumentType dct = new DocumentType(1068);
                        umbraco.BusinessLogic.User u = new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0);
                        int parent = 1073;
                        Document d = Document.MakeNew(dr["name"].ToString(), dct, u, parent);
                        d.getProperty("price").Value = int.Parse(dr["price"].ToString());
                        d.getProperty("category").Value = 6;
                        d.getProperty("description").Value = dr["description"].ToString();

                        d.Publish(u);

                        umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(d.Id);

                        sb.AppendFormat("{0}<br>", dr["name"]);
                    }

                    divTest.InnerHtml = sb.ToString();

                }

        }

    Hi Adi,

    Did you create a seperate .NET project for this uploader or you put it inside the umbraco project folder? Because i'm having a problem on this line.

    Document d = new Document(1234);
