Yea, Duh! What was I thinking?
Thanks. 🙂Okay, by using the actual category name I was able to get it to import. I was struggling with the photos though. I found that if the photos are uploaded prior to importing the listing, the photos display as a ghost photo. If I do the import first and then upload the photos, it works fine.
The other problem I had was that Calc would drop the last 0 in the post_latitude and post_longitude and it would confuse the location. I had to change these fields to text instead of numbers and that corrected the problem.
I didn’t get this from the documentation, so you may want to add that bit of information for the future.
Thanks,
MikeI guessed the user ID number and got it to import that okay. However, I am still not getting the category to import. I have attached the import file and a screen shot of my categories page. Hopefully you can spot the error.
Thanks,
MikeOkay, so I have gotten it to import okay except for two issues. It does not set the post_author or the post_category.
I used the Username for the Author and tried both the regular category name and the category slug, but neither worked. Does the USER ID have to be the WordPress ID number, and if so, where do I find that? I don’t see it displayed anywhere on the user screen. I’m not sure what else to try with the category.
Thanks,
MikeSorry, I was writing my message while you were writing yours and I didn’t see it until after I had made my post. I will check it out.
Thanks,
MikeOkay, I figured out why I got the second import error. There was an extra space after gd_place. I removed that and it imported the file. However, there are still some problems:
There is no title.
There is no category.
It set the address to “Carretera Federal 2”, which does not even exist in the import file.
It set the Country to Mexico instead of United States.
It set the city to Rancho in stead of San Diego.
and None of the photos are visible. ( I see that it automatically assigned the upload folder to the photo, but I had given the full path to the files that were already there in the import file like I do with another import program I use. I guess I only need the photo file name and let it assign the path to it.)I’ve got about 300 records to import, so I really need to get this figured out. Is there any more detailed documentation or can someone let me know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,
MikeOkay, I changed the post_type to gd_place, which is what is shows on my Geo Directory General tab. (I just used the default). When I saved the file and tried the import again, I still get the same message. I have attached the new import file.
Thanks,
MikeThanks KWH. That’s exactly what I was looking for.
Is this something that might be added as a feature in another release? It would sure be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
