Author Topic: Map problem with import, but not with manual entry of contact (Read 3123 times)

I am running the newest version of Drupal and civiCRM, on a linux box, with mySQL5 and php5 with Apache.

When I add a contact to the CRM and enter all the info (name, address, phone…etc…) I am able to click on “Map this address”, but when I import a list of contacts, the link does not appear, but if I were to click on “edit” and then click “save” (with no changes made to the contact’s information) the link appears and displays the correct google map for the address.

Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it?

Quite a few folks were having issues with import speed and geocoding. We made a decision to avoid geocoding during import (which in retrospect was not a good decision). Hence you are seeing the above behavior. We will fix this for 1.8 and potentially make this an option during import and/or have a batch script which will geocode all "un-geocoded" locations in the DB.

If you'd like to enable this, u can edit

CRM/Import/Parser/Contact.php

and change line 444 (approx) FROM

$newContact = crm_create_contact_formatted( $formatted, $onDuplicate, false );

TO

$newContact = crm_create_contact_formatted( $formatted, $onDuplicate, true );

alternatively, u can write the batch update script and contribute it back
