Importing Problem

  • I am attempting to import games into the schedules and scoreboards app with date, time, opponent and location but it is not importing it. I tried exporting other games that i entered manually to see if i could import it from there, but it does not work (it uploads, but the date and time aren’t there). Is there a csv example out there that I could get? Thanks

    Hi Milo,
    Thanks for posting your questions here. I looked at the CSV file you sent via e-mail, and there are formatting issues with it. Take a look at the Games-export-with-text-date-times.csv file in the plugin’s /csv-examples directory. You will see the proper format for the game_dtg column, which is 12/7/2014 13:05. You have to combine your date and time columns into a (properly formatted) game_dtg column.

    Regards,

    Ah. How do I get to the /csv-examples directory?

    You can download the plugins .zip file from the WordPress plugin page to your local machine.

    OR, download it from your server using FTP, or your web host probably has a “file manager” application (that’s usually a web interface to FTP).

    Is the date and time column merged in this plugin? Last year when I used the old plugin, they would be separate columns for date and time but I cant import my schedule now.

    Hi rickyl,
    Both the date and the time are pulled from the game_dtg column in a text format, or from the game_unix_dtg as a unix/php timestamp. Examples are provided in the plugin’s /csv-examples directory.

    Hope that helps.
