All add-ons currently require PHP 7.4 or greater.

On July 4th 2024 PHP 8.2 will be the new minimum requirement for all add-ons. Expect any add-on released after that date to require 8.2 or greater. Some releases may not immediately take advantage of 8.x specific features in PHP, which means you might, be able to continue using new releases in PHP 7.4, however, if you experience an error the first thing you should do is update to PHP 8.2 then create a support ticket if the error persists.

Please read about the changes to BoldMinded add-on licensing.

Hello,

I’m attempting to use DataGrab to import some CSV data, but it isn’t working. I’ve followed the troubleshooting instructions (https://docs.boldminded.com/datagrab/docs/troubleshooting), and checked the log file. There were some initial issues with some of the data in the CSV file being invalid, with error messages to that effect in the logs* - so I tested by just removing that data from the import file. After doing that, I re-tried the import, and the log file now seems to indicate that it the import succeeded - but when I check the channel that it’s supposed to be importing to, there are no actual entries created from the import:

*The initial errors in the log file were along the lines of “mport error with entry V1 Report 666 with the field_id_9 field: Invalid Selection” - it might be worth noting in the documentation that the “field_id_X” references are referring to the CHANNEL field by its ID, and not the COLUMN in CSV data. And it might also be worth noting that for fields using “Value/Label Pairs,” the data in the CSV can’t be imported if it matches the “Label” for the corresponding file option, and apparently needs to match the “Value” instead.
