Updating public bodies via CSV

[Henare Degan]

Hi all,

Does anyone update their public bodies via CSV?

A couple of our awesome volunteers are working on updating our list right now and are trying to use CSV to make the updates and it's really not working. I just want to check if anyone uses this right now or if you have other ways of updating your public bodies?

Thanks!

Henare

Hi,

I have an old Alaveteli version with a custom theme on top. I used the
CSV import the first time when I imported the first list of public
bodies and it worked but when I tried to add some extra public bodies
a month ago or so it did not work. I did not have time to check out
what was the problem and one of our volunteer manually added the
public body list.

We use it occasionally on WDTK but I don't think we've done so for a
while, so it may well have broken recently.

Hi Henare,

We at tuderechoasaber.es use it often: we keep our master public body list in a google doc (split across a few tabs, different gov levels), and upload the list when we make a change. We don't edit the public bodies directly in our site.

We upgraded to the latest version last summer (0.14? Not sure) and it's working fine. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you Andrei, Ganesh, and David for your responses - all super helpful.

Based on this, I'll work through the problems we're having and create some focussed issues on the Alaveteli repository.

Cheers,

Henare
