Problem importing dates
June 05, 2012, 05:33:25 pm
I'm trying to import a CSV file through the Import Contacts feature. The CSV file includes two custom date fields - Start & Stop Dates.

Whenever I try to import the file, fields with dates in those fields get flagged as "Invalid value for field(s)."

Plus I get error messages for each row with dates that says:
 "warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in
/<my home page>/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/Date.php on line 473."

I've tried a number of different date formats to no avail.

Any suggestions?

I'm using CiviCRM 4.1.2 in a Drupal 6 website.

Can you reproduce this error on our demo server with a small test file and save the mapping.

Once done, can you please attach the csv file to this topic

thanx

I can't do anything on the demo site for Drupal 6. I keep getting an "Unrecoverable" error message whenever I try to go to any screen. Who do I report that to?

I have created the Custom Fields on the demo site, and attempted to import a CSV file. Had the same results. No joy.

The mapping has also been saved on the demo site as "Address Info Import Test."

The CSV test file is attached.
