CSV Export

Sorry, GD does not have any option to export data at this moment. I am not getting you, from where u are trying to export the csv and why ?

I really want to buy this product but really would like the export feature. Is it possible or if not alternative ? In essence I want to be able to present the info on various fields to people more familiar with excel.

You phone field will still be geodir_contact, but you have to add the custom fields you created at the end of the file.

Let us know,

OK Paulo, so are you saying that the “HTML variable name” for each field is what should be used but preceeded with geodir_ eg: see attached image = geodir_phone2

Hi,

what you are trying to do is conceptually wrong.

You are exporting the data from the DB and trying to import it back from the CSV file.

If you wish to import anything from the CSV upload within GD, you must ONLY use the provided Sample file and add data to it in the right format as shown in the example. You can only add custom field usgin geodir_html_variable at the end of it.

Thanks,

Hi again Steve,

the file you sent is different from our sample file and have mixed up fields, some are missing, some that shouldn’t be in it are in it.

The original file should not be changed. You can only add data below headings keeping exact order.

post_title
post_author
post_content
post_category
post_tags
post_type
geodir_video
post_address
post_city
post_region
post_country
post_zip
post_latitude
post_longitude
geodir_timing
geodir_contact
geodir_email
geodir_website
geodir_twitter
geodir_facebook
IMAGE
IMAGE
IMAGE
IMAGE
IMAGE

Custom fields must be added at the end of the file only after the last IMAGE.

For example if you have added the CF cusine and features after the 5 images headings you would add:

geodir_cuisine
geodir_features

and below the new column headings, the corresponding data for each listing.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think that it will accept listings without post_content. In any case it is worth a try.

Hope it is clearer now.

Thx

These support threads are very poorly done in most of these, so, it never says, how do you export to csv, for example, backing up JUST your listings for later re-importing.
