How to upload a large amount of articles.

jlui213 · **How to upload a large amount of articles. -** 06-05-2008, 11:13 PM

I have a LARGE amount of articles that I would like to be transferred into the Knowledgebase, and I was wondering if there is an easier way of doing this than inserting articles one by one.

Do any of you have any tips/advice/software for me?? Any thing would help!
Thanks!

There is an Import / Export section (Staff CP -> Knowledge Base -> Import / Export).

Thanks craigbrass, but with the Import/Export function, how would I go about uploading more than one article at a time? Is this even possible?

Thanks!

As far as I am aware, you can upload in a CSV format.

You need to have it as XML file and the articles will be imported in the helpdesk.

Is there a sample XML file by any chance Raghav?

The link does seem to be working for me. Is there something I can do to fix this? i also tried going to http://raghav.kayako.org, but that did work.

I was also wondering what users are using to code in XML. I hear that Microsoft Word can convert to XML but the quality is pretty poor.

Thanks again.

PSPad will do the job fine. PSPad - freeware unicode developer editor, capable handle near any syntax, e.g. HTML, PHP, XHTML, JavaScript, ASP, Perl, C and many other languages with HEX editor and multilanguage interface
