CSV Import Failure

FYI: It’s the line endings.

Classic MAC (CR only) isn’t sufficient. Must use CRLF for this to work.

haha.. yes, yes I believe there may be a blogger or two out there *still* using a MAC. I’m actually surprised this hasn’t come up before..

In any event, while poking around a bit I made a small change that may be useful (I may make some more and pass them along)

I modified the CSV import so that it checks if a given player already exists (based on the slug) and if so, don’t bother adding them again, just add them to the team we’re importing.

in mstw-team-rosters-admin.php around line 1363

// mph - Test for the existance of this player first!
		echo '<p>Checking Player: ' . $temp_title . ' <br/> Slug: ' . $temp_slug ;

		$search = array(
				'post_type' => $type,
				'name' => $temp_slug,
				'post_status' => 'publish',
				'numberposts' => 1
			);

		if ( $player_exists = get_posts( $search ) ){
			echo '<br/>Looks like they already exist in our system, adding them to this team... </p>';
			$term = get_term_by( 'id', $opt_cat, 'teams' );
			wp_set_object_terms( $player_exists[0]->ID, $term->slug, 'teams');
			echo '<br/>Updating their info... </p>';
			$this->create_custom_fields( $player_exists[0]->ID, $data );
			return false;
		}

		echo '<br/>Nobody Found, Creating new player... </p>';
		// - end mph

I commented out the rest of the echos since I’m not sure they mean much to anyone unless their debugging
