Use it as a short-term solution while planning a full migration to a current Joomla + modern CSV tool (like CSVI Pro 9.x or a custom data pipeline). Need a specific import/export template or troubleshooting help for your setup? Provide your Joomla version and data source – I can refine this guide further.

1. Overview CSVI Pro (CSV Improved) is a powerful import/export component for Joomla. Version 5.9.5 is a legacy but stable release designed to support Joomla 2.5 and 3.x. It enables site administrators to bulk manage content, users, contacts, and third-party extension data (e.g., VirtueMart, K2, DOCman) using CSV, XML, or Excel files.

php /path/to/joomla/cli/csvi.php --task=import --template=update_prices
