Dear Sirs,

Would like to Import directly into Easy-Blog from a *.csv file which I can create in any needed form.
Important is that categories and tags can be imported as well with references to Images.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Best regards, Chris
Hello Chris,

I am sorry but currently we do not support importing of csv files unfortunately You can however, always import them via phpmyadmin though.

Hi!

I think this feature is very well needed. Although voices feature request submit by me here:
Data export/import options: http://stackideas.com/voices/item/266
relates to EasySocial, but I think this feature is need in all extensions: EasyBlog, EasyDiscuss and EasySocial of course.

Please consider this as something fundamental not to mention practical.

Regards, Lukas

So it has been added to the roadmap for ver. 1.3 - scheduled for February'14:
"EasySocial Roadmap ver 1.3 - Exporting and Importing Profile Data"

Good starting point.
Next step would be to include "Exporting and Importing Groups / Pages/ Events Data". Hopefully - knowing StackIdeas team approach so far - the first import/export options implementation will laid the foundation for future import/export features, so adding more export/import options along the way would not be a problem.

Really appreciate the openness of the support here. Setting high-level standards. Love it .

Lukas

I just ran across this topic and am also very interested in importing a csv file into easyblog. Does this capability exist yet? If not, is there a document that tells me how to do this using phpmyadmin? In other words, something that tells me what fields are required and used for what? Also, are there any fields that are required keys in other tables? I'm a bit nervous about just importing data without understanding foreign keys, referential issues, etc.
