WTG Import Plugin 6.2.0   

Jun 14th, 2011 // In: Easy CSV Importer // By: Comments 7

Forgive the title, it is just to avoid repetition a little.

This version has enough changes to it to deliver fixes but some new problems. It should be treated as a beta in every sense. The following version will come very soon, probably in the next 48 hours. It will complete the Post Type features that have been added. The new features will allow us to create posts and pages or custom post types within a single project. We can even select a design for each post type, but it is all interface activity. Post creation is not yet effected, that is the next phase.

Category functions have been changed more today than I expected they would just yesterday. Some testing has been done, descriptions are now being added to categories (that is the new feature) and all seems to be good.

The next version will come with the finished Post Type abilities and more perfections. It will be a careful version with hopes to make it the next stable released. Feedback will help a lot.

    In the log I see, Action: Missing File…. A project is active and the plugin needed to check the projects csv file datestamp but the file appears to be missing.

    In my attempt to import categories, I already have the parent category created… just wanted to mention this incase that had something to do with the rror + empty import

    Hi

    I just emailed you with this version lol

    OK 2nd error is a product of the first error. First error make it seem like your csv file has been deleted or moved.

    Warning: Could not open file: in /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php on line 873

    Is this not the case?

    It could be that special characters in your filename had to be removed. What was the original filename?

    Thank you very much for the feed back. I’m not adding any new features until any reported issues are fixed and we get a stable version that rocks.

    Part of the plugins automatic date updating is to check if your csv file is actually a newer copy. This again is suggesting the file cannot be located. I need to know more, please confirm your csv file is there and if the name was possibly changed.

    I made big changes to the category function. Changes that previously, months ago, caused a lot of problems. According to WordPress however it is the way I have to do it but I change the approach because I’m sure there is a bug in WordPress. Other developers agree with me and the matter still as not changed.

    Basically there are 2 functions for creating categories. They each behave very different but really they should not.

    I’m now using the function that allows us to pass the category description too it.

    If you are doing extensive testing, which I greatly appreciate right now, please activate error display by changing the “false” to “true” in the easy-csv-importer.php file about 40 lines down.

    Ryan testing will be commencing here shortly.

    One thing I would like to point out, I uploaded a filename “file_name.csv”, and i looked in the directory and teh file name is “filename.csv”.

    So its possible the name of the file name may be, behind the error.

    I’ll start testing out from scratch using a file name without an underscore.
