Ok.. I get a zip file and open it with a unzip tool. (I purchased a database of contractors)
The unzip tool places the data in to what? Excel. Even if I do not “open” the unzipped excel file it is there.
Are you saying to use the unzip tool and select OpenOffice to unzip it? (tried it and I do not see a way for OO to unzip a zip file.

I could possibly redirect them to the Group or have them form a group, invite friends and in this way they could send out invitations. Then they could post the event for friends and family to get directions. Hmmm I found this plugin…http://www.philopress.com/products/buddypress-simple-events-pro/
Thank you. Works just fine. Kind regards
Thank you for the guidance. You may close this ticket. Thank you and kind regards,
I am still stuck on how to change “labels” I do not see them in the translation po
Thank you. I omitted the “ga:”
Thank you for your advise.
The process, I think, has been running for over five hours. I really have no idea if it “is” working since the only thing I see is the occasional blue spinning object. I went thru the cpanel on another work station to see if I could see some table populating but I do not know where to look. I guess I will check it in the morning.
So may be a better idea was to create the Contractor “setting” fields, put in a dummy contractor listing and then export the data “instead” of exporting a Place setting and trying to us it in adding columns.
Also, my point was the actual text “html variable” text. The preset “mandatory” just have as and example for the phone number “contact” not “geodir_contact” so the point was do I set up in the Contractor Settings just “fax” or do I use “geodir_fax” in the html variable field.
I guess I will find out soon enough. I used the html variable of geodir_fax and used the column import header of geodir_fax as an example.
So far I have not gotten an error message and no indication that the file is importing except that every few seconds I see a “spinning” image flash. It’s a large file so we shall see.
Thank you for your response. Sorry to be so cautious…
Kind regards and thank you for your assistance.Something just does not click.
“post_category: use the name of the category or the slug; this category has to be created in WP admin before you import!
post_type: for example gd_place or gd_event; this CPT has to be created in WP admin before you import!”I have the Category “Contractor” in post type on wp categories
The CPT is “Contractor”
The subcategories are numberous. I have not added the subcategories to the CPT. Do I need to do this first?
The rows are 217,000
I some how feel that I am going to get a Contractor, contractor, subcategory type of contractor.
I am almost ready to complete the process.
Ok. So after all of your existing columns I will begin for example geodir_business_name, geodir_contacts_name, and on and on “after” all existing fields. If yes, then I got it. All the custom fields.
