Not a Bug: Event Import from CSV has Blank Title

Post by admin »

John Southerland from J/111 19th Nervous Breakdown reported that the Import Event from CSV file is leaving the event title blank. I tried it and confirmed this is not working as expected.

It turns out that the CSV file John created was saved using the CSV UTF-8 (Comma Delimited) (*.CSV) option in Excel rather than the CSV (Comma delimited)(*.CSV) option. This was breaking the importer.

The Skipper Manual has been updated here and here to warn people about saving with the proper CSV option to preclude this problem in the future.
