There is a CSV export/import option in Pimcore:

  • click on the object folder and then you will see CSV export button in top right of the tab
  • to import the CSV data you need to right click on the folder and use the CSV import option
  • to just update existing objects check the Overwrite option in the CSV import wizard

Please keep in mind these things:

  • the Pimcore allows for very complex data relations and very complex data types
  • it is very hard or even impossible to describe all the different data types and relations in an CSV file
  • exporting and reimporting might cause a loss of data in some cases
  • to make import and export really stable, you should write your own exporter and importer which takes some understanding of Pimcore and programming knowledge

CSV export/import might be good enough for your needs, but be careful and do backups before doing big changes.

Hi you need to change the configuration in php.ini file.

After you open this file edit the following:

  • upload_max_filesize=2M to upload_max_filesize=10M

This will allow you to upload upto 10M
