problem with import items

[flyn]

I am using AbanteCart 1.1.9 on a new site. I have setup the database, admin and demo store. Everything is working.

I went ahead and exported to a .csv (comma delimited) the products from the demo store, manipulated the file by changing the values in the appropriate columns with the ones from the products I need to import and saved it.

When I go to import it says Data is empty or corrupted.
Total loaded: 0

I did put in test mode to play it safe

I also have it imported as the same format (comma delimited .csv). For our mobile site I had to import products and it worked

This issue was reported before. It happens only on some Windows OS.
We are sill trying to find the source of the problem.

What OS and version do you use?

I use Windows 7 Pro Sp-1 64-bit.

AbanteCart is 1.1.9

I am writing this for those that still have this problem. My issue is resolved. I used Firefox as my main browser and I could not import but a few minutes ago I decided to try IE and it worked. So if one browser is giving you a problem try another just in case.

I have IE 11 for Windows 7

Interesting point. Thank you for sharing.
We still want to resolve this. Update is coming.

This problem was identified, fixed and tested.

Issue: Some browsers in Windows send files with unknown file format or stream.

Solution is below:
In file public_html/admin/controller/pages/tool/import_export.php
Locate line:

Code: [Select]

if ( in_array($file['type'], array('text/csv','application/vnd.ms-excel','text/plain')) ) {Replace with:

Code: [Select]

if ( in_array($file['type'], array('text/csv','application/vnd.ms-excel','text/plain','application/octet-stream')) ) {

more reason to use Linux instead of _Windows

Totally agree. Mac OS is good as well.
