Is there a way to createst a CSV file for the blog import? I need to do a find/replace across all my old blog posts, but that's impossible once they're in the system.

When I need to import blog posts from a CSV file, since BC has no way, I have created a temporary WordPress site, used one of the serveral WordPress plug-ins like CSVImport that can create WordPress posts from a CSV file, then use the WordPress export to create an export file. BC can import the export file that WordPress creates. BC cannot however import categories or tags from a WordPress export file, only the post title and post body.

Good one. Well said. It ensures easy import and export of data from various source.

Hi, I'm working on an product import document and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the imported products to retain the tags entered in column "S". For some reason they show up in the keywords area of the product, but not in the tags from the Actions menu > Tag this Item area. I'm using these tags to display products is different places on the site and would love to not have to apply those all manually. Is there a way to use the product import file to populate the tags area under the Actions Menu? Also, if so, what characters are used to separate multiple tags?

Many thanks!

- Eric

I'm sharing this for those that are struggling with the date format in Excel ...where the date format changes such that BC cannot recognise start and release dates. This is because Excel uses the default date format that is set by the Operating System. So Windows OS by default will show the date as dd/mm/yyyy. The problem is with the / slashes. BC will only recognise date formats as: dd-mm-yyyy i.e. with hyphens.

I spent hours searching until I found this article which solved the problem for me once and for all. This is the solution I found online, corrects the default date format affecting Excel:

I hope that helps!

Why can we not have a import of CRM option to delete the records as we do with products as this feature is very sadly missing and certainly a feature well needed by many. A more irgorous and practical approach to cleaning up CRM records is very much needed as if yuo have a client hit by spammers it can take forever to clean up what should be a relaively straight forward exercise

Hello. I've imported a contacts list using the method instructed by BC, have a Tab Delimited file with 5 columns :email, title, first name, last name, and company name, and it has uploaded successfully and the contacts all appear in the Customers list. My question is, where do I find the Company Name listed? It doesn't appear in the Customer details anywhere.

Can anybody help with this please.

Grant

Ok, I've just realised that the contact name and the company name have been listed in the Customers listing. Is there a reason for this?

It allows you to import a URL with any extension except .aspx, which is reserved for the system.

What solution does Adobe recommend for moving from a different CMS that uses .aspx extensions into Business Catalyst?

How do you recommend redirecting oldsite.com/page.aspx to businesscatalystsite.com/newpage?

It seems a system-wide reservation on .aspx is overkill. Can you not just reserve PaymenProcess.aspx and the other few sytem .aspx pages?
