I am using sh404sef and i have about 1000 html pages (containing forms,links,meta-tags,etc)  I would like to import all those pages into joomla 1.53.  Can this be done with your product? 
How can i ensure the correct SEF urls are created from the import ?
how can i get the meta-tags to be placed properly on the page ?
How can i get the links and the form to function as they do on a regular html webpage??
thanks

CSV Import doesn't import html pages, it imports CSV files so you have to properly format this file and do some testing.

This is not related to CSV Import at all. The urls are created by Joomla. You'll have to use a sef component to add a custom url for each page.

Right now CSV Import doesn't allow you to import meta data, but these are in 2 columns in a single database table, so you could import it directly via phpmyadmin.

Partly answered above. This is beyond the scope of any of my components. You have to test things yourself to see how it works.

okay...let me be a little more specific.
I know your file is a csv file..and if am able to put the files into that type of format, will the data that i am importing work ???

Meaning if i import html tags..like the <form> and the <a link>...will this all work when it is imported???
Further, the meta-tags..is there an faq..that will show me where to import those...in another table perhaps..to make the data that import  look like regular pages ????

I am a tech guy, just not a programmer. I just want to make sure --if i buy your product..all the pieces of the html page..will get imported into the right place so the page being displayed --is displayed properly ...to the search engines and users.

There's a trial version of the CSV Import component :) html tags are imported as well. The metadata is stored in jos_content (metakeys, metadesc)

Sorry to beat this topic ..but -is that what your component is doing ??
Is it updating the  jos_content table ???

Can i just run a mysql script to update that table with the appropriate field data ???
I have stories that have html content in them that i need to upload each night from the commandline and delete the following day.  Can i do this with a mysql script ????  Instead of going through the web interface ????

I tried the trail ..i create fields in the csv file for :(metakeys, metadesc) ..but it does not help..this is "a global" setting for the batch you wish to import at one time ....yes ????
I would have to run a seperate script to update the metakeys and metadesc for each article that i have imported, yes???

Yes, it's updating the content table and also the jReviews ones if you are using custom fields. Sure you can run your own queries to update the data.

For now the meta data is not included per content, but it's already been requested and I'll add it later on.

thank you so much...you are one of the most responsive..and responsible developers i have met.
thanks again.
