I have looked through your forums as well as the help files and was able to make the necessary changes to the Import template to allow me to import from a CSV. Thank you.
Unfortunately, for some reason which I cannot find any reason for it will not import 1 of the fields. I have other fields what are new and have imported flawlessly, but for some reason this particular one will not import.
I have tried changing the position of the field - and the corresponding number on the Import page. I have changed the LOC name and value in the template thinking that it was too long or needed to match the field code it created when I added the field neither change worked.
I am out of ideas at this point, do you have any I can try to get this to work? I would appreciate any help you can give me regarding this.
Let me know what the field name is, post the template you're using, and preferably provide a screenshot of the values you've set for the positions and sample data.
Thank you very much for looking into this for me. I have attached the following files:
- a screenshot of the import options page - the import template I edited to show the additional fields I added - a text file with 1 line of test data to import
The field I am having trouble with is the "Show Location" field. Right now the template shows [SHOWLOCATIONLOC], but I have tried changing it to a shorter name without any luck. And when I added the field it gave me the code of [LINKSHOWLOCATION].
If you need any other information please let me know.

Fields with 'loc' in their names won't work. Changing
$f = str_replace('loc', '', $key);to in admin/importer.php should fix that.Forum Regular
