    Using Related Links when importing from Excel file

    I have a spreadsheet of fields to import and I was wondering how/if I can import into a related link datatype and also to confirm if I can enter nodenames for a content picker delimited by a comma. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi James,

    Sorry for the delay didn't get a notification. But it's not something that's built in but with if you write a Fieldprovider see documentation http://soetemansoftware.nl/cmsimport/downloads it should be possible to set the correct values during import.

    Hope this helps for now,

    Richard

    Hi James,

    If you create a field provider as described in the manual, then in the implementation of the provider you need:

    • To check how the data is stored, I assume csv (best to check the database propertydata table how it's stored)?
    • Look up the content already stored and match based on provided the value
    • Return the related media in the desired format.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard
