    Hi,

    I have created a website with Geodirectory. I am using the Custom Post Types Plugin and I have created a couple of custom post types.

    I have a file with data for a company directory. Most of the information I can copy to the different columns (post_title, post_content etc) in the csv-file (downloaded from GD) that I will use for the import to my GD site.

    However, there are some information that I do not understand how I will import via the csv-file.

    For example in the GD site I have created a custom post type with form fields named “fax” (fax number) and “reg no” (the company’s registration number). How do I import this information? To which column in the csv-file used for the import should this information be copied?

    Thanks

    Dale

    Hi,

    you need to create new columns for custom fields. The name of the column will be geodir_html_var_name.

    So if the “html variable name” of your custom field is “fax”, you’ll need to add the colum geodir_fax to your CSV.

    The best way to do this is to create a dummy listing with data in all custom fields and export it. The exported CSV file will have all custom fields already in place.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks
