Using bin/csv/import.php

[TeNNoX]

I just discovered the import.php+export.php+delete.php!
But I can't get the to work, I tried these commands:

Code: [Select]

Manu@TENNOX c:\xampp\apps\drupal\htdocs\sites\all\modules\civicrm\bin\csv
# php import.php -u admin -p admin -s localhost Tag tags.csv
# php export.php -u admin -p admin Tag > tagall.csv
# php export.php -u admin -p admin -s localhost Contact > contacts.csv
But the output is always empty, and imports aren't working either...

My favorite tool!  I use this almost daily.

php /full/path/to/import.php -e Entity --file /full/path/to/file/to/import.csv

Since you're on Windows, you'll be using backslashes, not slashes, but an example:
php /var/www/mysite/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/csv/import.csv -e Contact --file /home/jon/importfiles/contacts.csv

SOLUTION:

Somehow there's no error if the site name is wrong. Very weird.
When I used the right name 'cividev' (didn't know which name to use) It worked!

You might want to report a bug for that so people are aware and it can be fixed to avoid it tripping up others in the future

Done.
