As it is now, the queue is lost and import config is stuck "ongoing" when strapi is restarted during an import or undo.

✖ An error occurred during plugin installation.
Please make sure this plugin is available on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-import-content

The package does appear at that url on npm, but this installation method is not working.

my project is in the C:\ideha\Strapi\react-mongo-noGraph folder in windows. So i Execute this commands:

1. cd C:\ideha\Strapi\react-mongo-noGraph
2. mkdir plugins
3. cd plugins
   git clone https://github.com/jbeuckm/strapi-plugin-import-content.git import-content
   cd import-content && npm install
   cd ../..
   npm run setup --plugins

but i have this error:
npm ERR! missing script: setup

Could you help me?

Since the beta changes of Strapi, the plugin is not showing up anymore in the left panel.
To continue using this project, alpha to beta update is needed.

As imports grow in complexity, it will be useful to undo, then edit and redo instead of recreating the import config from scratch.

Hi,

I've been trying to get this plugin to work with the current stable version of Strapi (3.5.4) but it doesn't work at all. Webpack even refuses to parse the .scss files and fails early.

There's 2 forks of this project that already contain quite some fixes:

1. https://github.com/akoharu/strapi-plugin-import-content
   Deals with the internal change from .id to ._id
2. https://github.com/khoazero123/strapi-plugin-import-content
   Handles internal path changes and uses the strapi-plugin-helper functions

But even after applying those changes (and renaming all .scss files to .css), the media import doesn't work. Also, the parsing of the existing Strapi models is broken and needs to be revised too.

It seems like the internal uploadProvider is no longer able to upload files programmatically and most guides I find out there are suggesting to use a FormData object and add the file to that, to send it off to the regular api endpoints of the content-manager.

I've asked for help on the Strapi forums as well: https://forum.strapi.io/t/need-help-with-reviving-strapi-plugin-import-content/3937

I also started a fork of this repo to be able to merge my changes with the ones from both forks above to end up with a functional plugin again so I can propose a PR, but I haven't managed to solve the media upload issue either.

@jbeuckm do you have any intentions on updating this plugin? Or have you moved on and should this plugin be considered dead? If the latter, I'll kindly request the Strapi team to remove the blog post as well as it is just misleading at the moment, I've literally spent almost 2 weeks of my time in trying to get it working..

Kind regards,

Erik aka 4levels

error Bootstrap function in plugin "import-content" failed

I think the line that saves the new content will only work with bookshelf:

    .forge(importedItem)
    .save();

Hi

I'm having some issues when I'm installing the plugin into my strapi.

Ant ideas let me know

This is a repo for those who wants to revive the plugin and anyone can join so if you need more extensive help come https://github.com/ATG-Inc/Import-content-plugin- to this link
thx #

Any user that has access to the Import feature should be able to GET /preAnalyzeImportFile and create an import.

This will enable authenticated requests so that the endpoint does not have to be WFO for import to work.

"npm run setup --plugins"

This line of command not workable on my device. It shown this. May i know why?

This would add inputs for new content type name and name/type of each imported field

Probably also has to fix mongo integration

Since Strapi just hit a stable release, will there be an updated version of this plugin? :D

Possibly change the url in the imported text to match the local (uploaded) url.

Some components are missed in the repo but there are references from the Home page & Create Import Page
