Hi All,
I wonder if there is any documentation available regarding the new itemprovider in the dataintegration module?
- If so, where can i find it?
- If not, when will be be available?
I managed to import data from CSV to a paragraph item, with the help of the dataintegration module, CSVProvider as source and ItemProvider as destination. Worked ok, but it would really help with some documentation.
Such as, can i specify the paragraph name in the import (i saw a field called NewPageName) ? - which i tried to add to my mapping table/csv, but resulted an error.
Also, it doesn't seem to be possible to import to a specific ItemList (item(s) in a ItemList), which actually would be really useful. Consider this a feature request if not already possible.
It will allow us to have that itemList as a container of the imported items, and not have to rely on a content-area-container to hold the imported items. Thus making it easier/simpler to have/use a template design for that specific list / listitems. In general, when having multiple items in a container, we prefer to have an itemlist of these items, rather that a content-area, since on an item with an itemlist (containing the multiple items of same type), we can add custom/default settings for all items in the containing list.
In the DataIntegration module, when using ItemProvider as destination, simple let us pick the paragraph which, is an item. That item should contain an ItemList of the Items we are about to append to (ie. 1 foreach row in the csv).
Also, any documentation of what the "Remove missing rows after import" and "Delete page, paragraph associated with missing items" fuctions does if the check those in the Destination Settings of the ItemProvider.
Regarding:
- Remove missing rows after import
- Since i selected a page for the items to be imported to, I would expect that if the select this option, then only the missing items for that specific page is deleted.
- However, i know there was/is an issue of this with the EcomProvider, where importing products to a specifik shop, then if you select the option "Remove missing products after import" - then, if the file only contained 1 product, all products from all Shops would be deleted - except the imported product. I just want to make sure that the same doesn't apply to the ItemProvider ??
- I see multiple levels regading removing missing rows after import, either:
- Remove all from that table, that are not in the import
- Remove all rows from that table that are not in the import AND IS in the selected: Shop/Page/Paragrahp/ParagraphList
