System Requirements
CMSImport requires Umbraco 4.0.x, is compatible with SQL Server 2005/2008 (Express) only. CMSImport requires .net Framework 2.0

Roadmap
In the 1.x version we will add the following functionality:

  • FieldAdapters. Sounds boring but this is a big thing. When you import data now, sometimes the import will fail. For example if you import boolean as text (true/false) and want to store that in a True/False field in Umbraco it will fail. Umbraco expects that the value will be 0/1. FieldAdapters will solve this problem. If a insert of data fails. CMSImport will check if 1 o more FieldAdapters are available to convert the data in the right format. This will be added to version 1.1 which must be ready before CodeGarden 2010.
  • Dictionary Import.
  • Hierarchical imports(PRO only).

In the 2.x version we will add the following functionality:

  • Hierarchical import support in Data Adapters. Not the same as the 1.x Hierarchical import feature.
  • Export/import definitions (PRO only). An easy way to deploy Import definitions.
