April 13, 2011

Alkacon Software - The OpenCms Experts

The Alkacon OAMP ExcelImport Module provides functionality to import an Excel file into OpenCms and create XML contents from the contained Excel records automatically.

The ExcelImport Module could be used for quick content creation from large offline data collections like news, events, address lists or list of employees or even stock of products. Excel sheet column names get matched to XML tags in a defined but freely configurable way. Existing XML content gets updated if a set of balanced quantifiers reaches a threshold value. Direct publishing can be switched on with a check box.

Now available for download from www.alkacon.com.

The Alkacon OAMP ExcelImport Module features:

  • creates XML content item(s) from records of Excel sheets
  • Excel column names get matched to XML tags
  • complete configuration of Alkacon ExcelImport is done in one file.
  • Import (and publishing - if selected) is done with one mouse click

The module is available with full source code and documentation.

All Alkacon OAMP modules are released as full Open Source under the GNU GPL version 3. The source code of the modules is freely available in the public CVS of cvs.opencms.org.
