What exactly would you like to get tutorial for? There is already
DateTimeImportHandler in info.magnolia.module.data.samples package that
should show you what you need to do. If there is anything still not
clear after looking at that code, let me know.

As for triggering this upload manually right now you can do so only by
associating your import handler with the "import data" button in the
"data types" toolbar. There is already issue for allowing to have
possibility to configure one such importer per each data type (so the
button would appear for each data type you create). I think the issue
number is MGNLDATA-52 and it will be implemented once the Magnolia 4.0
final is out.

Jan
