Bulk import CSV

[jgreenwood]

Hello, thank you for this platform.  I hope soon there is a way my site members can place multiple ads with a CSV upload.  I have musical instrument dealers who need to update inventory regularly and they have lots of items.  Please I hope this can be so very soon.

Anyone have ideas on how to start, I will be happy to help develop this feature.  I know some things but not enough to make this for myself, but since I am in such need, I work very hard at this to make it happen.

Thank you so much for any guidance.

That's a pretty specific use. Not likely someone else will be making that feature.
Maybe you can outsource it?

Not too complicated. Upload file, open contents, split content at separator, then
use the item_add function to spit all the information into your database.

But how do you upload photos - does that have to be done separately,
or are there URL's to photos in the CSV file,
or are the images encoded in the CSV file?

Great idea.

I created a issue in our system, so you could follow the development : http://issues.osclass.org/browse/OSCLASS-381

Note: This is not in our priority list, so don't expect changes in a short period time.


Thanks
