CSV import

My apologies, the links in the second paragraph above reference another calendar tool. I am still struggling to get this going and need help.

I have found that I can import the test calendar event provided by Time.ly, but when I add my own events underneath the CSV, I get this error:

All-in-One Event Calendar has been disabled due to an error:
Argument 1 passed to Ai1ec_Ics_Import_Export_Engine::_is_timeless() must be of the type array, null given, called in /home/learni67/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/lib/import-export/ics.php on line 256 and defined

…with a very long set of errors thus:

HELP! I urgently need to get this going as it is a key aspect of my business.

Hi Benjamin,

Here is the CSV file – it’s taken straight from the demo one provided on the Time.ly site.

I’ve left the sample data in there of Iron Man which is importing well. The other two lines starting with description CES aren’t though and I can’t figure out why… yet it is saying that 3 events were imported!

[screenshot here…]

The only way I can get the import to work at all is if I copy/paste data into the sample CSV without changing it at all. For example, if I create my own spreadsheet with the same data using the same headings, then save as a CSV, it won’t accept it.

I am using Microsoft Office for Mac, so am wondering if I need to save the CSV as something else such as Windows comma separated or MS-DOS comma separated?

If I try to copy/paste from the CSV that doesn’t work either.

Done, you should be able to access them now Ben.

Rob

done thanks Calvin

Would it be easier to just give you access to my site? I’ll check the WP/database details and get back to you tomorrow.

Done, thanks Calvin!
