Support Matrix + Super Table nested importing

[engram-design]

[keyurshah]

i was using feedme to import into a super table inside a matrix and it only imported the first row of each supertable in a matrix block.

wondering what the best workaround would be until this is working. thanks!

Is there a solution for this? We wont be able to use super table inside a matrix if we can import into it.

At the moment it creates a separate matrix entry with a ingle super table row in each, instead of one matrix entry and multiple super table rows.

Thanks

The problem is because the $parsedValue array only contains one super table row to import. Super Table like Matrix takes arrays like:

[new1] => Array
(
    [type] => 3
    [order] => 1
    [enabled] => 1
    [fields] => Array
        (
            [accordionTitle] => My first accordion title here
            [accordionBody] => My first text here
        )

)

[new2] => Array
(
    [type] => 3
    [order] => 1
    [enabled] => 1
    [fields] => Array
        (
            [accordionTitle] => My second accordion title here
            [accordionBody] => My second text here
        )

)

But actually only the first or last one is returned, so there is only one new array, not all of them.

So I aded this dirty hack to get it working. I just create a new parsedValue array with all the rows like above. This would not be the clean solution needed, but its got it working for me in case anyone else needs a quick solution:

Replace this line 113 in vendor/craft/feed-me/src/fields/Matrix.php:
$parsedValue = $this->_parseSubField($nodePaths, $subFieldHandle, $subFieldInfo);

With this code

foreach($nodePaths AS $nodePathKey => $nodePathVal)
{
	// Get the node number
	$pathArray = explode("/", $nodePathKey);
	$nodeNumber = $pathArray[count($pathArray)-2];
	$nodePathsArray[$nodeNumber][$nodePathKey] = $nodePathVal;
}

$i=1;
$parsedValue = array();	
foreach($nodePathsArray AS $nodePathsArrayKey => $nodePathsArrayValue)
{
	$parsedValueTemp = $this->_parseSubField($nodePathsArrayValue, $subFieldHandle, $subFieldInfo);
	$parsedValue["new".$i] = reset($parsedValueTemp);
	$i++;
}

@amityweb Your code worked great! I just needed to place $nodePathsArray = []; above the first foreach to accommodate scenarios with multiple nested matrices because the contents eventually get mixed in that array.

This fix also worked for me. Thanks a lot @amityweb!

Is this a FeedMe bug? Or is there another way to format my JSON to get this to work? I love that it's working now... but I'm not too keen on hacking a plugin like this...

[amityweb]

Not necessarily a bug, I dont think its supported yet. In fact you can see Brandon added the enhancement label, so its on their list to do I hope. Shouldn't take too long now I've highlighted the issue to be honest. More elegant code will probably be used though :)

I don't like hacking either but lucky for me its a one off import on site migration from WP to Craft. So now its done I don't need anymore, so I didnt mind hacking it to get it to work. In fact I had to, we had way too much content for me to copy and paste and not use Feedme.

Anyone has got this working on Craft 3.4.16? I have the same problem and even though I replace the line pointed above, it does not change the way it is imported. i.e. I keep getting multiple Super Table blocks for each row rather than one Super Table block with multiple rows in them.

blockContainer above in the image is the Matrix field which holds the Super Table field mediaReleases.

About to try using the code above for our data import. Would love to see this prioritized into the actual codebase!

We've hit an edge case and I'm looking for support/help/insight.
We have a matrix field with 2 block types:

• one (variantWithHotspots) includes a supertable
• the other (variantSimple) doesn't

apart from this, fields in each block are identical

When importing, an image belonging to variantSimple block is assigned to the other block, and is eventually skipped.
To clarify, an image from the variantSimple block type is assigned to the variantWithHotspot block and the block entry for variantSimple is skipped. So if we have an array of 1 variantWithHotspotand 2 variantSimple, we end up with:

• 1 variantWithHotspot (using fields from the first variantSimple block)
• 1 variantSimple

We're already resetting $nodePathsArray = []; per @farezramilo suggestion. Honestly, I haven't digged into the code, if anyone has a tip it's very welcome

I want to import content with Super Tables in Matrix fields. I am glad I found this discussion, but even with the suggested hack by @amityweb, it does not work.

Is this something that the Craft Team is considering working on?

Yo why is the issue this discussion came off of marked complete?? It's 2024 and I still had to shove that vendor code in to get it to work!
