TGPX Import Snafu
So I imported a bunch of galleries yesterday. Some had a scheduled delete date, some didn't, so I left that field blank. When I was doing the thumbs, I noticed that the ones with no delete date had a weird looking date(?) in the Delete field - something like:
11-30----123456 I tried to edit it by clicking the numbers, but that didn't work. I thought whatever. Today I do the Build All With New & it deleted all those galleries that had a blank delete date when I imported them |facepalm| Luckily, I'm getting better at keeping copies of the spreadsheets I use for the imports, and they were all scheduled for future dates, so no major problem. BUT... I obviously did something wrong |huh The simple solution would be to not mix those galleries on the same import, but I'm just wondering why it did this? |hr||hr||hr| I'm also wondering if anyone else has had issues like this where you expected one thing & got something different so that I don't have to |violin| in the future :) |
I don't use the scheduled date or delete date when I do imports, so I've never run into this problem.
But, if you left the date completely out of an entry, without the pipe separator, then the expected date info will not be in that column and it will read whatever is in the next column, etc. all the way to the end of that data line. |
Oh no, I had 2 pipes in there. I import stuff all the time that has blanks - like some will have Tags for something or the URL of the thumb from an export I did at the other TGPX I share with JR, so when I search & replace the tabs with pipes, there's 2 in a row since that area is blank - example:
Code:
Email|Name|IP|Type|Format|Description|Gallery URL|#Thumbs|Date Scheduled|Tags|Thumb URL|Thumb Dimensions Code:
Email|Name|IP|Type|Format|Description|Gallery URL|#|Scheduled|Delete Date|All Cats|Sponsor|Tag|Thumb URL|Thumb Dimensions I'm gonna try to reproduce it later with 2 galleries & see what happens. |
