Hi Folks,

While Importing the data for Custom Modules, and when I click on “Import”, it is throwing error:

“Imports aren’t set up for this module type: Try Again”.

Can anyone suggest how to setup Import Setting for Custom Module.

Many thanks!

During the creation of your new module from a module builder.
You have to select Checkbox called “Importing” to true

Hi. I am having the same problem as the above. The check-boxes are ticked in my custom modules, yet the problem still persists.

There are two ways to solve the issue:

  1. You go to module builder and you select the import option on your custom module. Then you redeploy it so it will be ready for imports. (The problem with that is that any customization created after de initial deployment will be lost. I might affect your records as well)

  2. The other option is to modify the backend files of your custom module. Open file \modules\YourCustomModule\YourCustomModule.php
    change:


...
class YourCustomModule extends Basic
{
    public $new_schema = true;
    public $module_dir = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $object_name = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $table_name = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $importable = false;
...

To:


...
class YourCustomModule extends Basic
{
    public $new_schema = true;
    public $module_dir = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $object_name = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $table_name = 'YourCustomModule';
    public $importable = true;  // PAY ATTENTION TO THIS LINE
...

Once you have done the change, you need to perform a Quick Repair & Rebuild and you should be able to import into your custom module.

Thanks,

This demo allows admin access, so you can use Module Builder there:

Please try it there to see if you can reproduce the problem, and provide me with a detailed “steps to reproduce” including the exact things you set up in Module Builder, and then the exact procedure to start the import until you see the error. Thanks.
