Hi there,

Ive extended the CsvBulkLoader (code below) but i have two wee problems one the dates are screwy, the spreadsheets im importing from have the dates in dd/mm/yy hh:mm format and even though i have the site set you UK date when the importer gets a date it imports the data as mm/dd/yy hh:mm if the dates are correct. ie 01/02/2014 10:22 (1st Feb 2014) is imported as 02/01/2014 10:22 (2nd Jan 2014) any help or pointers on that please?

The second problem is that i'd like to set a boolean to 1 if a record has been imported but without adding a field to the spreadsheet to set this i'm unsure how to flag that, any ideas on that?

Hope you can help

Mick

class TheSearchCsvBulkLoader extends CsvBulkLoader{
	public $columnMap = array(
		//Straight Import fields
			'Date Missing' => 'DateMissing',
			'Date Found' => 'DateFound',

	public $duplicateChecks = array(

	public $relationCallbacks = array(

			'callback' => 'getMissingLocbyName' 
		)

	);

	public static function getAreabyName($obj, $val, $record){
		return Team::get()->filter('Name', $val)->First();
	}
	public static function getMisperbyName($obj, $val, $record){
		return Type::get()->filter('Name', $val)->First();
	}
	public static function getLocationbyName($obj, $val, $record){
		return Location::get()->filter('Name', $val)->First();
	}
	public static function getSurvivabilitybyName($obj, $val, $record){
		return Survivability::get()->filter('Name', $val)->First();
	}
	public static function getMissingLocbyName($obj, $val, $record){
		return MissingLoc::get()->filter('Name', $val)->First();
	}
}

anyone?

Is there any function like onbeforewrite etc that i can extend/use with regards to importing data to add a flag or boolean?

Mick

Ok i ended up being a bit hacky and added a function to a date conversion function see below.

public static function getDateMissing(&$obj, $val, $record){
		if(!empty($val)){
			$obj->DateMissing = self::convertDate($val);
			$obj->Imported = 1;
		}
	}
