I use TSVConverter to convert my .XLSX to .XML, anyone can help me?

OJS version: 3.2.0.2

Hi @victormalves,

Converting from .xlsx to .xml using TSVConverter will not generate XML that is compatible with OJS. See ojs/export-issues.xml at stable-3_2_0 · pkp/ojs · GitHub for an example of XML that is compatible with OJS 3.2.0.

I know, that’s why I modified the TSVConverter according to the native.xsd model (new), I imported a test using the model you showed me now and I have the same error. Can you help me?

Hi @victormalves,

Ah, OK – I misunderstood. Just to confirm, the import XML does validate per the XSD?

Thanks,

Yes! It was validated

@victormalves,

There is an issue filed for the problem you are experiencing. [Native ImportExport Plugin: Importing a localized publication causes an error · Issue #5920 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub].

There will be a fix for that issue soon.

@victormalves could you please try the fix that the Native ImportExport Plugin: Importing a localized publication causes an error · Issue #5920 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub proposes to see if it solves the problem?

Feedback:
this “correction” generated an error, you can leave it as it was before! I was able to solve the problem simply by upgrading to the latest version.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi, I did a new release for the conversion script that supports 3.2.1 Have not checked yet what is needed for 3.3, but probably just minor changes. GitHub - ajnyga/tsvConverter: Excel to OJS3 XML conversion tool
