I am trying to use cmsimport to import a list of members from a sql table.
I have a member type which contains a property with a content picker so that we can map a member against a site profile.
When i run the import, I select the member option, point it at my data source and enter the query.
On the next step i can select my member type and other preferences.
When i get to the next step i get the generic member properties which i expected to see, but rather than seeing a box for the content picker property value, i get a list of the list all of the properties from the template that this content picker is picking from.
Yes I have tested an import on a seperate database and it adds these properties into the members even though the template only contains the picker property
Can you please add a few screenshots of the membertype and teh doctype that is going wrong in your case and the mapping screen of CMSImport? Or mail me those richard [at] soetemansoftware.nl
Okay we know what cause the issue. The MemberType and the DocumentType had the same alias and a bug in Umbraco using MemberType.GetByAlias returned the DocumentType instead of the MemberType. I've reported this issue on Codeplex so please vote
Importing members with a content picker property
I am trying to use cmsimport to import a list of members from a sql table.
I have a member type which contains a property with a content picker so that we can map a member against a site profile.
When i run the import, I select the member option, point it at my data source and enter the query.

When i get to the next step i get the generic member properties which i expected to see, but rather than seeing a box for the content picker property value, i get a list of the list all of the properties from the template that this content picker is picking from.
Am i doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Just a quick update on this, we are using ultimate picker instead of content picker for the site profiles....
This is weird,
So you see all the properties of the content item instead of all the member properties?
Which version of Umbraco and CmsImport are you using?
Thanks,
Richard
Richard,

It's umbraco version 4.0.4.1 and CMSImport 1.0
