Probleme with CSV import

[baart....@gmail.com]

Hi!

I just tried to import a csv file, but every time I try to upload the file I get this error

CSV Upload Failed
The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed

Are there any restrictions for the file I have to look for? Thanks in advance!

Hello

Sorry you had problems with that! It could be an issue with the way the CSV file is being detected from the MIME type. What I'd recommend is this:

* Open system/application/config/mimes.php

* Find the line for 'csv' - it should be around line 13.

* Replace it with the line below:

'csv' => array('text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/x-csv', 'text/x-csv', 'text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel'),

That should allow the application to recognise more formats that CSV files can be presented as.

Give that a go and please keep me updated on your progress.

Thanks,

Craig.
