better integration with other extensions

HI,

I chose to use the Econa custom field because it allows me to manage the position in the article and allows me to validate the entry if an image is present.
Unfortunately I realize that this poses other problems.
Most components, modules, plugins ... do not recognize it. It seems that it is in json format!

1 / would there be a way that it could be better recognized while continuing to use it as a custom field?

2 / mass import of image into econa
I have another urgent need. I use Ro CSVI to mass integrate many documents into a magazine. Today I will have to manually integrate each image.
Do you have an idea, tip? to mass import images from a spreadsheet (xlsx)?
Regards

HI,
I regularly communicate the url of your site to other developers so that they integrate the custom fields of joomla.
I have already integrated Econa with several extensions.
Latest:
https://joomcar.net/products/joomla/joomla-articles-good-search-module#description (module)
and now:
https://nx-designs.ch/showcase/exposer

My biggest problem is the mass image import with Ro CSVI.
They import other custom fields
"Our documentation did not help because as of now we only support only a few of Joomla core custom fields import with Joomla articles."

but not yours. I asked them but here is the answer:
"I had a look at the plugin and how it stores values ​​in database. Even if you import the value as stored in database, the extra image processing the plugin does is not possible with RO CSVI import. From what i see the plugin prepares image inside images / econa folder with field id and article id as folders inside this path and the image is stored in different variations as per the Size configured in the Fields page. The import of this custom field is not possible with RO CSVI. more requests in future we can consider to add support for this plugin. "

If you could help them be compatible with their extension it would be great :-)
Regards

Hello
I asked the developers of ro ​​CSVI again. They also seem to block on the json format. I give you their answer. What would be better as a solution?

So i fixed it and was able to see Image tab for article and had a look at how Econs stores values.
eplied your email but still updating the post so it is a reference for users coming with same topic. I see Econa stores the value as JSON format string in database. Right now RO CSVI does not support this format even with the newly developed custom fields.

Two options here.

1. You can write your custom rule to read the values from your csv file and generate JSON format as needed by Econa and save it to database.

2. Import the entire JSON format like example below

alias;catid;image-econa
test-article;2;'{\"key\":\"plg_fields_econa_5ea6c1a94593b\",\"itemId\":5,\"context\":\"com_content.article\",\"filename\":\"econa0\",\"ratios\":[],\"free_ratio\":\"1\",\"params\":{\"sizes\":\"{\\\"label\\\":[\\\"Small\\\",\\\"Medium\\\",\\\"Large\\\"],\\\"identifier\\\":[\\\"S\\\",\\\"M\\\",\\\"L\\\"],\\\"width\\\":[\\\"300\\\",\\\"600\\\",\\\"900\\\"],\\\"quality\\\":[\\\"65\\\",\\\"80\\\",\\\"95\\\"]}\",\"jpeg\":\"1\",\"css\":\"1\",\"auto_edit\":\"1\",\"aspect_ratios\":[],\"free_aspect_ratio\":\"1\",\"og_image\":\"0\",\"display\":{\"display0\":{\"view\":\"archive\",\"image\":[\"S\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"},\"display1\":{\"view\":\"article\",\"image\":[\"M\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"},\"display2\":{\"view\":\"category\",\"image\":[\"S\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"},\"display3\":{\"view\":\"featured\",\"image\":[\"S\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"},\"display4\":{\"view\":\"search\",\"image\":[\"S\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"},\"display5\":{\"view\":\"tag\",\"image\":[\"S\"],\"image_sizes_attribute\":\"\",\"caption\":\"1\",\"credits\":\"1\",\"link\":\"0\",\"modal\":\"0\"}}},\"caption\":\"\",\"credits\":\"\",\"alt\":\"\",\"fieldId\":\"1\",\"extension\":\"jpg\",\"sizes\":[\"S\",\"M\",\"L\"]}'

HI,
I don't understand your answer, it's something else. No?
In a year for example;
I will have hundreds of well-formed articles.
I add 10 or 20 articles with the right content including customs fields.
There is just the problem of importing 10 or 20 images from this same table (.xlsx).
If I pay a developer (you?), The easiest way would be to make the rule 1 /?

HI,
The developers refused to do the development even with an additional license :-(
I am the only one. If someone is interested, ask them and maybe it will be included in their roadmap?
In the meantime i do this manually
Regards
