Import custom fields from Excel

To import custom fields from an Excel file, they first need to be created in the EasyDNNnews module. Custom fields are created in the CUSTOM FIELDS MANAGER. First you need to create custom fields and a custom fields group. After that you need to add custom fields to that group. To import Excel column into custom field you need the custom field’s group id, custom field’s id and custom field’s type id. You need to put these ids in the Excel column name. To name a column that will be imported as a custom field you need to write “customfield:custom field’s group id; custom field’s id; custom field’s type id”.

 Example of the column name: “customfield:6;48;1”.

To get the custom field’s group id go to CUSTOM FIELDS MANAGER select Manage Custom Fields Groups and in the column ”Id” is the custom field’s group id.  Example:

For the example above the name for the Excel column would be customfield:3;4209;1
