ECI: User Creation Project
This project allows you to create WordPress blog users and add meta data.
Key Information
- Your data does not need to be from another WordPress database
- All you need to create users is a column of valid email address and a column suitable for login/user names
Failed To Create Table
Your project database table failed to be created. Most of the time this is due to csv column titles including spaces, special characters or being too long. If you think this could be the case please try to make them simple names with a single word.
What is the limit on the length of the column? I removed the spaces, but I’m still getting this error.
(I did solve the other error I wrote to you about by clicking on the “re-install” button. In additional to removing the empty project error, it also now prints all of the .csv files on the new project lists, which it didn’t before, so it sounds like your plugin didn’t run its install scripts when I installed the plugin previously? Perhaps it is because I installed your free version the other day?
Maybe you should just direct your users to click on the “re-install” button first thing.
I’ll try shortening the column names. There isn’t anything particularly really long…
Ah – a blank column name is not accepted. You should just put in “blank1″, “blank2″ or something to avoid users having errors like that.
No CSV file should have a blank column header/name/title.
If such a thing existed, then I would guess it is not a proper column i.e. no data within it and maybe a result of too many commas. Please check trailing comma at the end of your file. You would be best removing those columns first before using the file.
Thank you for your feedback though. It should be possible to ignore such columnsy when creating SQL queries based on the CSV files format. I’ll look into this and be sure to add it to the new WordPress CSV Importer plugin coming soon too.
The new import plugin has an Installation status page.
Users will be sent to that page whenever the plugin detects part of the installation having a fault and it will check during every use of the plugin. So for sure that is an area I’m improving on.
For ECI, I plan to simplify the entire installation and make it a more step by step process taking the user from one page to another until project complete. First page will indicate installation status, preventing anything else being done until it is sorted. Those changes won’t come until half way through 2012.
