CSV Improved - News
Another release in the 2.3.x cycle. Today's release fixes a number of small issues in different kind of areas. Another step has been made in image handling. The import will now handle images with an extension that differs from the actual mimetype. In other words, images with the GIF extension but is in fact a JPG image is now correctly handled and converted.
A full list of changes is available in the changelog list.
The new release is available from the CSVI VirtueMart download section for users with an active subscription.

The long awaited new release of CSVI JoomFish is here. This release features many new extras and a completely updated handbook. Some of the new features are:
- Basic import
- Basic export
- Backup JoomFish tables
- Update translatable fields
- More sample templates
- and many more improvements
The update of translatable fields is the most noteworthy addition. This feature will let you import all translatable fields from your system into JoomFish. After that you can use the regular export in CSVI JoomFish to export only those fields you want to translate.
Along with this release is the release of a new CSVI JoomFish Handbook. The CSVI JoomFish Handbook has been rewritten to include all the new features and contains samples of how your import file should look like.
We are looking for your feedback on how to improve the usability of CSVI JoomFish. Please head over to the forum and post your ideas and opinions in this thread.
Get the latest release from the download section and check the documentation section for the new CSVI JoomFish Handbook. Both are freely available for users with an active CSVI JoomFish subscription.
