| Summary | 0003032: Bulletproof spreadsheet importing | ||||
| Description | You can currently import CSV files, and it also supports text files with ";" as a delimiter (we don't advertise this). This is pretty techie for some users. We should ideally be able to handle any of these scenarios, using a clean API: 1) User accidentally uploads CSV with tab delimiter (TSV) not proper CSV 2) User accidentally uploads CSV with semicolon delimiter not proper CSV 3) User uploads a spreadsheet with no header row in a situation where we don't strictly need one (newsletter raw email list import comes to mind) 4) User uploads a CSV with old-Mac-style line endings (this should not happen in 2016 but some ageing codebases export bizarre stuff; the PHP enable auto_detect_line_endings setting may help) 5) User uploads a spreadsheet with a different character set, esp UTF-16 or ANSI (to solve this we'll probably need to have a character-set selector box and also support BOM markers) 7) Use uploads a very large files that won't fit in memory in one go | ||||
| Additional Information | Code files that load CSV files at the moment... adminzone/pages/modules/admin_newsletter.php sources/hooks/systems/tasks/import_member_csv.php sources/hooks/systems/tasks/import_newsletter_subscribers.php sources/hooks/systems/tasks/import_catalogue.php sources/newsletter.php pages/modules/recommend.php We'd want all this to be carefully unit tested. | ||||
