CMSImport PRO helps you import content or members from any datasource into Umbraco. The following datasources are supported by default :
- Access Database
- BlogML
- CSV
- Excel File
- RSS Feed
- SQL Server
- WordPress
- XML
You can also create your own custom DataAdapter. Check out the workspace for screencasts to see the power of CMSImport.
CMSImport PRO allows you to save wizard steps so you can run the import later or even schedule it for a certain date and time. When you re-run an import already existing records will be updated and only new records will be added. When media is imported references in content or member data will be updated automatically.
And best of all with CMSImport Pro it’s possible to import complete content structures also! This allows you to import a complete product catalog (Categories and Products), blogposts + comments, or any structure you want to import.
CMSImport PRO is optimized for uBlogsy, Blog4Umbraco, TeaCommerce and Uwebshop.
You can download the free version of CMSImport which is limited to import 500 records and limited in functionality.
Or you can purchase the commercial PRO version which can import more than 500 records, update content, can import content related media ,can save your import steps for later use and even schedule imports for a certain time and day.
CMSImport is compatible with Umbraco 4.5.2 and up.
This summer CMSImport will be available for Umbraco V5
