Thanks very much for our time and the hints. In the meantime, I discovered the highlight function and it works quite well. I’ll keep the second solution just in case… my customer changes his mind!

Take care

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I thought I was clear in my previous messages, let me try again.

We want to import a database of 420 participants or so with 22 fields/criteria for each. The fields are labelled in French.
In the Import instructions of your plugin, it says:
“To import your data correctly, the colums should match exactly the fields of your base. So far, the columns of the CSV file are as follows;
first_name email phone id
That means that your table must have 4 columns and that their title should match precisely the names above.

As our file contains more than 4 columns ans as it is in French, I went to the Data Field Management section and created the 22 fields in French in order to match the file I want to import. Was I right to do so?

When I try to import my file, it fails and says:
“The CSV file has been imported.
Number of incorrect colum found in the CSV:
Impossible to import the data. Please make sure all the field names in the CSV header are valid.”

I can’t understand where the problem lies. Could you please help me understand and fix the problem?

Thanks for your help

Hi, again
I’ve just finished a conversation with my hosting provider, everything seems to be OK on their side. They advised me to change the participants database file in Uploads to the 705 CHMode, which I did. No improvement, it still does not work.

Besides, I’m struggling with the CSV import function. Your pre-requisite is that the CSV fields should be First name, Email, Phone, Id which does not match at all our own file (written in French and having many more important fields to be registered). I thought that creating the fields we need to be displayed would be possible through the Database Fields Management section. In the General Information tab, I specifically created these fields so that importing our CSV file would match these fields. Nothing works…

Could you please help me out?

Thanks for your answers and your help

Hi,
Thanks for answering so quickly.
I had read the help document before writing to you. Everything seems to be correct (file properly created). What exactly should I ask my hosting provider? Can you be more specific?
Thanks for your help

Hi, Justin

Thanks for your answer. I did not get any answer so far. Could you please answer my query?

Thanks

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem, sent a message… and no answer so far. Not very serious…

Please, Ninja people: do something!

All right. What about the 5.0 version of your plugin, where can I get it?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Where can I get version 5? The WordPress library only enables to download the 4.1.12 version.
Which mapping should we use, Exiting Form or Custom Post Type? What’s the difference?

Thanks for your feedback

Hi, Aurovrata

Thanks for taking the time to answer me.

I’ll have a look at the videos but I must admit I am disappointed by your insistance on development. The whole idea about WordPress – and its main asset for the general public – is that the development has already been done by skilled people so that the web environment is more widely opened to people who have other crafts or professions. The vast majority of the plugins are ready-to-use and the amount of extra development required by your plugin gives me the impression that only half the work has been done – sorry to be so direct.

All the best

Hi again,
Thanks for your detailed answer.

I tried to follow your instructions step by step, although I bump into 2 prior difficulties: English is not my mother tongue and I’m not a web developer either, just a WordPress user. What is a hook ? a filter ? a taxonomy ? What do you mean by mapping a field?

I managed to create a form, then a map which I filled copying your example. But I did not create any custom field as I did not know what it meant and what it was useful for. Can you tell me more… in plain, not too technical English?

I filled in the form myself as if I was a visitor. It was registered as a user message (see this screen) which looks like an article… without being one though. I thought your plugin would turn the message into a proper post with features like a category, tags, an excerpt, a featured image).

Can you help me to get that result?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Hi,
The problem remains unsolved…

I wish I could send you my screens wher the problem is shown. This is what it says:
An error has occurred while activating recommended features/Updating/disconnecting Jetpack. Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position O.

Does it help?
Thanks for your help

Hi,

To complete my last message: the code change has actually changed nothing. Whenever someone uploads a new document and publish it, it shows on the homepage.

A message shows saying that the mdocs-functions.php is deactivated. Is it normal? Could that explain this persisting problem? How can I reactiviate mdocs-functions.php?

This is what the code is now. Can you spot a problem?
// GET ALL MDOCS POST AND DISPLAYS THEM ON THE MAIN PAGE.
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘mdocs_get_posts’ );
function mdocs_get_posts( $query ) {
$remove_post_from_homepage = get_option(‘mdocs-remove-posts-from-homepage’);
if($remove_post_from_homepage) {
if ( $query->is_search == false && !is_admin() && isset($post) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, ‘mdocs’ )) {
if(get_option(‘mdocs-hide-all-posts’) == false && get_option(‘mdocs-hide-all-posts-non-members’) == false) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘mdocs-posts’ ) );
} elseif(is_user_logged_in() && get_option(‘mdocs-hide-all-posts-non-members’) == true) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘mdocs-posts’ ) );
}
Thanks for your answers

Hi, Bhaldie

Thanks for your time and your help.

I did the recommended change of code and go the expected results:
– the Mdoc posts are not displayed on the homepage even though the Hide all posts setting is unchecked. Great!
– doing some queries with the serach engin does give some results:
> some docs can be previewed and downloaded;
> some docs cannot be previewed and generate odd messages/warning (HTML description of the expected document, message warning that the doc cannot be downloaded… but in fact it is if the button is here;
> some documents cannot be displayed nor downloaded.

We’re getting near…

Can you help me understand what can be the last problme to solve and help me fix it?

Last question: in the Settings, there is a Clean all files button. What does it do exactly? Would it be helpful to use it to refresh our stock of documents and maybe solve some problems? Could there be any risk of disturbing our docs or deleting some/all?

Thanks for your answers

Hi, Bhaldie
Thanks for your answers.

We did check the Hide all posts setting because otherwise all the new documents stocked in Memphis Docs would appear and disturb the home page. How can we deal with this contradiction, unchecking the Hide all posts setting and preventing the MD posts from appearing on the home page?

The fresh saving of the permalinks did not change anything…

Thanks in advance for you help

Hi,

Thanks for taking some time to answer me.

It still does not work, even with Search Everything:
– the words we are looking for are sometimes highlighted, sometimes they are not;
– what’s more puzzling: for each document found through the search, whenever we click on the results it says; “Sorry, you can’t see the page”. Why is it so? Any particular settings we should fix?
Thanks for your answer
