Here you will find all the available fields that can be used in the Joomla Categories import and export routines. Please see the relevant tutorials on how to use these fields in a specific scenario.
Managing a multi-language site can be quite challenging due to the large number of categories. In addition to importing the category content, RO CSVI also supports adding Joomla category associations on import. This tutorial will explain step by step on how to add Joomla categories associations.
A template can be created by following these steps:
Template fields can be added by following these steps:
Quick Add
The Quick Add Option allows you to quickly add multiple fields to a template. It is not possible to set any settings per field here but that can be done after the fields have been added to the template.
The export can be run by following these steps:
CSVI also supports the export of Joomla custom fields for a category along with other Joomla category fields. If there is a custom field added for a category, it will be available as one of the template field for category export. If you dont see the custom field make sure that you update your available fields.

As in the example file, the fields we are trying to import are listed below, more fields can be added according to the requirement. Check the available fields page in CSVI to find out which fields are available for the Joomla! categories import.
The import can be run by following these steps:
Create a 2 level category for Joomla content
"category_path";"extension"
"Parent/Child";"com_content"
Create a 2 level category for Joomla content assigned to the British language
"category_path";"extension";"language"
"Parent/Child";"com_content";"en-GB"
Create a 3 level category for Joomla content
"category_path";"extension"
"Parent/Child/Grandchild";"com_content"
Create a 2 level category for Joomla banners
"category_path";"extension"
"Parent/Child";"com_banners"
Along with Joomla category fields CSVI also supports import of Joomla custom fields for a category. If there is a custom field added for a category it will be available as a import available field. Please note that alias of the custom field will be available as import field as it is the unique value.
For example, here in this document we are explaining on how to add a custom field Extra title to Joomla custom fields for a category and importing its value along with other Joomla category fields.
In RO CSVI we offer a number of import and export routines to manage your Joomla data. This is the complete list of Joomla Categories supported operations. The majority of operations are available for both import and export although some are for a specific task so they can only be used for either import or export.
