Batch upload of entire entries – Field Identifier

Most of the headers you list above are NOT things you can specify in a batch upload, but refer to data calculated by EntryWizard.

The exception is the User Login: as noted in the help item for batch uploads,
if you include a column with the header “LoginName”, that column must contain valid wordpress login names only. If you do not include such a column, the images will be treated as having been uploaded by you.

The batch upload file should ONLY contain the optional username, the filename, and any other things that would normally have been entered by the user in a regular entrywizard upload — e.g title or category if the layout contains such fields.

Does that help?

Hi Josie,
I followed your instructions and the batch upload was successful. Thanks for your help with this.

Unfortunately the thumbnail isn’t showing up in Manage Items. I checked the folder to ensure the format was the same as images uploaded via the webform (for both large and thumbnail images). Is this because the Width, Height & Orientation details aren’t loaded via bulk upload or another problem?

What I am trying to do is upload images and data for previous photographic competition prior to me using EntryWizard so entrants can see what they have previously entered. I’m using “ewz_followup shortcode” to display the images to entrants once they have logged in.

It should work. Did you check that the permissions on the images are the same as those uploaded via the webform?

If that is not the problem, it is most likely something to do with the naming of the image files.

If you use a Chrome or Firefox browser, you can right-click on the space where the thumbnail ought to show in the Manage Items page, and see what image path the browser is looking for. Click the triangles to open up the “<td …”, then “.
The end of that “http…..” should contain the filename the browser expected to find.

Hi Josie,
I checked the permissions on the images and they are the same as an image that I’ve uploaded via the webform i.e. 644
I simplified the filename and title to “Test.jpg” & “Test” but still no good.

In Managed Items I don’t see an outline of the thumbnail and I checked the source code and the link details are not included.

Here is an extract of the Bulk upload
LoginName,Category,Title,Filename
JohnSmith,Open Colour,Test,Test.jpg

Thanks
Martin

And was the thumbnail you created named “Test-thumb.jpg”?

There may well be no outline shown, but that does not mean there isn’t an “” the browser is looking for. Did you check by right-clicking?

Hi Josie,
That was the problem. I used the same format as the WebForm had for thumbnail i.e. Test-150×150.jpg I renamed it to Test-thumb.jpg and it appeared. All working well now.
Many thanks for fixing my problem and taking the time to help me. Your efforts are much appreciated.
