no, los datos los inserto a través de codigo aqui te muestro un ejemplo:
$title = $titulo_noticia;
$alias = $titulo_noticia;
$introtext = $i_noticia;
$fulltext = $cuerpo_noticia;
$state = 1;
$sectionid = 6;
$catid = 36;
$created = date(“Y-m-d h:i:s”);
$created_by = 62;
$object->title = $title;
$object->alias = $alias;
$object->introtext = $introtext;
$object->fulltext = $fulltext;
$object->state = $state;
$object->sectionid = $sectionid;
$object->catid = $catid;
$object->created = $created;
$object->created_by = $created_by;
$table = ‘#__content’;
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();
$param_db = dbParam_db();// set connection parameters
$db2 = &JDatabase::getInstance($param_db);
$db2->insertObject($table, $object, ‘id’);
//echo $object->id;
echo “Se insertó una noticia correctamente.”;
