Hi,

I seem to have worked a lot of things out and only had some minor issues at the moment.

The biggest problem I have is getting my 6,000 companies into from GT into the new directory – I have tried using open office – but it won’t let me input the events.

I thought I would start small – the download csv had the post type as place and I changed the word place with event – is this correct?

Also my file from GT has the address all together do i have to go through the 6,000 contacts and split them out into city, region etc – This would mean mean starting from new…. 🙁

I have each geo code though so would this override the missing region, city, country and zip?

What should I put in as the author? leave it as 1 or change it to a known author?

To be honest as long as I can get them in I can do some cleaning once its running..

Thanks

if you want to move everything through CSV files, you’ll have to clean up the files 1st.

Soon we will build and provide GT to GD conversion tools.

But if you can’t wait, the only option you have is to make the CSV correct.

Make sure to also use the right custom post type names, GD uses gd_place / gd_event…

Hi Paolo,

I am using your downloaded CSV file from the new plugin software – The only thing I changed on this was the name gd_place to gd_event

When I tried to import i got the following error as in the image.

I was not importing images though?

Hi,

Right now csv import is available to import only default GD post type(gd_place).

Plz wait the GT to GD migration tool.

Thanks

I was on the same track Vikas as I just reimported your test data and it worked 😉

Hopefully this is good for me as I only have 26 events and 5970 places phewwww!

I will let you know how I get on…

Thanks Team

Ok…

I have got the import working with some playing around – bascailly you just have to ensure you fill in each of the address requirements – city, region, country etc.

Also you have to have your catogories working and allocated to each place for it to show.

It looks like the plugin automatically sets up regions and city’s as you upload the places – I thought you might have to put these in separately or first… maybe the team can confirm this is OK to do.

The problem I have now is I can’t set up new categories? when I try the plugin asks for a pin image no matter what I do (from media file or upload) I get the white screen – I can exit the white screen but obviously can’t set up a new category.

Will update later.

Felix: it needs a little more work… I can fully test it if my csv import for gd works.

if you have problems uploading a file, just zip it before uploading it.
Thanks
