Welcome to the xls2modx wiki!
xls2modx is a command-line utility for moving page data into and out of MODX via XLS files. It can save you many hours of painful bug-riddled migration.
NOTE: This is a command-line utility. There is no GUI. PHP 5.3 or greater is required.
This plugin can be installed like any MODX component from inside the MODX dashboard. Or, if you are a developer, you can also install it using composer and Repoman: https://github.com/craftsmancoding/repoman
In order to fund development, this utility requires a license which can be purchased from Craftsman Coding
Once you have obtained a valid license key, log into your MODX Revo manager, head to the System Settings, and paste it into the xls2modx.license_key setting. Save it.
The xls2modx program is a command-line utility. There is no graphical user interface. Open up a command line (e.g. the Terminal program on Mac) and navigate to the install location (by default the core/components/xls2modx/ directory).
To test whether the utility is working, run it via the php command:
php xls2modx
If there is a license error or some other problem, you will see it. If everything is working as expected, the command will print a list of available commands.
See the wiki for details on getting data into or out of your MODX site.
