[TYPO3-english] Problem with External Data Import ext

I stumbled on such an issue too recently. I'm afraid there's a bug in 
the latest version of external_import which always disables TCEmain 
logging. So what's probably happening is that you have errors, but you 
don't see them.

Try adding:

'disableLog' => FALSE

inside your "ctrl""external" configuration.

> $TCA['tx_dklikmfsiinfosfruitieres_element']['ctrl']['external'] = array(

If that doesn't help, go into the source code and edit 
class.tx_externalimport_importer.php. Find line 924:

$tce->enableLogging = !$disableLogging;

and replace it with:

$tce->enableLogging = TRUE;

I'm planning to come up with a fixed version very soon.

Cheers
