Importing Events by CSV

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky.

I’m having trouble importing events by CSV.

I have followed the instructions in the document https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/csv-import-events-and-locations/ as closely as possible

However, when I upload the .csv file – I encounter the error: “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

I have tried this on two separate sites running EME, but the same issue occurs

The .csv I upload is this:

"event_name","event_status","event_start_date","event_end_date","event_start_time","event_end_time","event_notes","location_name","location_address1","location_address2","location_city"
"Sample Event","1","2019-12-07","2019-12-07","20:30","22:30","This is the text for Sample Event","Location Name","Location Street","Location Road","City Name"

In the email that comes from WordPress, the error details are:

Can you see anything obvious here that I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks

Well, that’s a bug obviously 🙂
Go to the mentioned line in eme_events.php and change the call to eme_insert_event to eme_db_insert_event
The latest version still has this bug too, so I’ll fix that (and some other stuff) and release a new version this week.

Hi Franky

One last question on this. In the CSV file, is it possible to include Custom Attributes? I see in the documentation that it allows Custom Fields by adding columns named “answer_XX”.

But if I had a Custom Attribute such as #_ATT{WEBLINK}, how would I add it?

Thanks
JAmie

Currently attributes can’t be imported. I recommend to switch to custom fields there.
But adding it to the code isn’t that difficult to do …

This change should do it:
