Hi

Im importing custom data from a xml file, which i will be using for Contact subtype (of Organisation) called 'Charity'. In XML file i use <extends>Organization</extends>, how to mention in the XML file, so that the custom data set is used for 'Charity' ?

I tried the below lines in xml file

<extends>Organization</extends>
<extends_entity_column_id>9</extends_entity_column_id>
<extends_entity_column_value>Charity</extends_entity_column_value>

but after import, in the custom data set edit page, it is showing as Used for 'Organization' and the contact sub type is not selected.
(9 is the Id of the contact sub type - Charity)

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks

- Rajesh

hey rajesh:

you will need to extend import.php to get this to work. When i wrote that script, contact subtypes were not yet in core

If you do modify, please submit your patches back (as an issue with attached patch) so we can incorporate in core
