Cannot import users into NMS

[Souhail]

Hi,

I can't upload users into NMS...

I have a CVS file and I get the following error :

Code: Select all

Newsletter Made SimpleError count: 1754 
Lines: 1754 
Users Added: 0 
Memberships: 0 
  Error at line 1, not enough fields 
  Error at line 2, not enough fields 
  Error at line 3, not enough fields 
  Error at line 4, not enough fields 
  Error at line 5, not enough fields 
  Error at line 6, not enough fields 
  Error at line 7, not enough fields 
  Error at line 8, not enough fields 
  Error at line 9, not enough fields 
  Error at line 10, not enough fields 
  Error at line 11, not enough fields 
  Error at line 12, not enough fields 
  Error at line 13, not enough fields 

Here's my CVS file :

Code: Select all

email address,username,list name
XXXXXX@hotmail.com,Name1,Newsletter JeControle
XXX_xx_12@hotmail.com,Name2,Newsletter JeControle
XXX_y@hotmail.com,Name3,Newsletter JeControle
XXXX@hotmail.com,Name4,Newsletter JeControle

Any idea ?

Thank you in advance...

As it says in the form for importing users from CSV:

Code: Select all

The import file must be in CSV (comma separated value) format, one entry per line.
The columns are:

uniqueid, email address, username, list name, active

You don't have enough fields.

I owe you one.

Win users: do not forget that MS Excel uses a semicolon instead of a comma in the CSV format (*comma* separated values  )
All users: fo me it worked rather without the UID, like that:

Code: Select all

xxxxx@hotmail.com,Roger Chifon,The newsletter's name,Yes, 
xxxxx@ate.tm.fr,Philippe Carton,The newsletter's name,Yes, 
xxxxx@nordnet.fr,Jean Mouton,The newsletter's name,Yes,

I just came across this issue today, i exported from CMS Made Simple 1.4.1 "Spring Garden" and tried to import to CMS Made Simple 1.6.4 "Moindou".  For some reason i got the same error message althought it seems that i have the same amount of columns.

What worked for me was to open the old csv in openoffice and get rid of all coumns except for "email" and "name".
