Related to Import CSV

  • This is very useful plugin. I have one field as type of “Link Field”. Now i am not sure how to prepare CSV for this type of link. Should i need to use 2 fields ? if so then how to named them ?

    I found one hook from your website which is as follows :
    pdb-csv_import_value
    “passes each value as the CSV file is imported, allows for custom formatting. The field name is passed in as the second argument.”

    i am not sure how i can use this hook to insert some link text with link url for that link field.

    Can you help me in this case ?

    Thanks
    Mahendra

    There’s no need to do any coding…take a look at this article, it explains how to format the data for your CSV import.

    Everything looks good with the CSV, so I don’t see what is going wrong.

    Your URL’s need to include the protocol… like this: https://www.cnn.com
