Title: import from older version
Post by: Bert Heijenga on 04 January 2013, 13:18:16
Following your instructions, I made .cvs files from all my bookcategories and imported them in 2.0.4
But the information about the books stored under "Library" and "Location" is not copied. how come?
Update: I checked the .cvs files and the information mentioned is not in there. So something went wrong during export from Abook 1.1.2 Any ideas?

Bert
PS. Is there an  interest for a Dutch translation?

Hi Bert,
check if both library ID numbers and location ID numbers matches the IDs of the library ID numbers and the location ID numbers of the new Abook installation.

I cannot check that, because the library and the location do not show up after the csv import per category. What I do notice is that the book-ID's are different.
If I open a book from Books in the controlpanel I can see under bookinformation(right column)  that the year is present and also the <coverimage>.jpg, but this does not show next to the booktitle.

Could you tell me what the colon separated fields in the csv file represent?

The "authors" field is an authors list separated by semicolon.
