Can I create an anonymous listing owner?

What category will the listings be place in? I dont see any reference to categories in the code

Can I use fields already present in 68Class and not extra fields?

Once I upload the php file above and the data.txt file, how do i run the script?

This is not a simple plug and play script. You are going to have to do some manual changes to make it suit your site. Also yes extra fields are created from admin -> categories.

I would suggest installing a test copy of 68c on a separate database and then play with this. That way you will not risk messing up a current install and give you a better of the coding behind it.

I already have the listings. Basically, I just need to format the data and upload it to the server.

I dont see categories in the PHP. where will the listings be placed then?

When you talk about extra fields… what do you mean?
(the extra fields created in the categories menu in admin?)

Can The fields used originally by 68classifieds be used with this procedure? if so, where can I find the field ID#?

For Example: The listings I want to import include the following.
Contact name
Telephone Number
Listing Title
Location
Make and Model (in the vehicle category only, not in the housing, for example)
Price

Any and all help will be appreciated!

Im just not at all familiar with what to do with the information you provided. Im a really sorry if i make you explain it again, but I have a ton of listings i need to import.

I have downloaded the file.

I will not be including a listing owner as the source file does not provide it. can I assign a anonymous owner?

What do I do with this?

Quote:
“
The final piece of data is the extra fields which look like this:

$extra['make'] = $arr[6];
extra_field($listingid, $make_extra_field_id, $extra['make']);

The first line $extra['make'] = $arr[6]; is just like above this maps to 5th deliminator in the data file. Next we call the function extra_field which takes the listingid, the extra field id, and finally the text as parameters. “

Finally, how do i implement the actual script in order to import the data.txt showing the listings in the page?

This doesnt include all the extra fiels though, Thanks for your help, can this script not be modifed to exprt as well?
