CSV upload not working

I am trying to upload 65,000 places and every time I try to upload it it stops somewhere between 850 – 1200. Is there some way to upload my whole file?

I’ll forward your question to the developers.
What about breaking it up in 10 files of 6,500 listings?

hi,

what do you mean it stops? Do you get any error? Is it the server timing out?

To upload such a big file, your server must have a very high time out limit.

To increase that, you should contact your server administrator.

Let us know,

Thx

BTW, splitting files as Guust suggested is also a viable solution.

Thx

Hi, i have a question please. I downloaded the sample csv, insert a few place. First time i had error, because i need to inser post_type. Well i don it. After i uploaded them, inclusiv lat & long, adresse and so on. But when i go to the site, the place is there, but the general map is not working and i cannot modify the adresse. I think is an error somewhere in adrresse…. any idea? thanks a lot

Strange is that first i could insert them even if after they wont work on map, noiw, i cannot insert anything, because always schow error : 1 out of 1 record(s) could not be inserted due to invalid/blank post type. Only use geodirectory’s post type.

But i insert gd_place like before. could be that something wrong in database? i was looking there, but found nothing strange…. i attach csv

Hi Giovanni,

the CSV data should be delimited by ” (double quotes) and , (commas).

Right now that file is using different delimiters. Are you using open offic to edit them?

Hi,

you need to change delimeters settings in open office when saving.

Now you ahve Tabs instead of commas as Field delimiter.

See image attached to fix it following these steps.

1 Opening with the wrong delimiter so that you can save it correctly
2 Save as
3 Tick Edit filter settings click save
4 Keep current format
5 Change tab to comma

Import…

Let me know if you made it.

Thx
