Plugin to bulk import ads to ClassiPress

I suppose it's possible to add all the listings directly into the MySql database, but it would be wonderful if there's more convenient way to make a bulk import. I'm not quite sure if you can use the plugin, CSV Import, to make a bulk import. So far as I can see this plugin can only import the posts - not the ads. But I haven't investigated that in details.

Hey, you could use http://appthemesimporter.com/. It is very simple classiress ads importer and this that would suit your needs. It is very simple and powerful

Hi,

http://appthemesimporter.com/ sounds like a very good solution. But do you know if it imports images also? As far as I can see it doesn't do that. Is there any way to import ads with Images?

I have a rent-an-apartment type of site and I have real estate agencies with 1500-2000 flats for rent. I don't want to manually put on thousands of ads on the site, it would take too long.

If anyone has a solution or if anyone has done this before I would be happy to hear it!

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
it sounds what I need, but my question, does it work with previous version of classipress.
I Installed it on a website running with 3.0.5.4 but i cant see the settings of appthemesimporter in classipress menu.
is it the version?

Thank You

Hi man,

No, I have not tried it yet. I can't really use it without picture import, so I did not test it. If I will I'll let you know.

Hi cujambo

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I am so in need of this, but it seems to be not working.
I need to import ads of 4 custom fields for 1000 ads, no images needed in this.. I tested it on local, and it showed no errors, but when I check the ads i see no added ones. so I dont know what I am missing in this.
I use latest version of CP and the format of the csv is correct.

If you had sometime i would be appreciate if you try it and tell me. if it works so there must something I forgot or didnt do.

Thanks

Hi rgbconcept, I had been struggling with this for 3 days but I couldnt make it work, even without this error which appear in an online website that seems to need an API key from the developper's website .

Nothing works in this, maybe it worked before, (I am not sure) but not anymore. ( I tried many CP versions)
I sent email to the developper of this plugin through his website but he never replied.
I needed this plugin so much but too bad none here could help .
too bad,indeed.

thanks spartac! I'm hardly needing this classipress importer too. I contacted the developer either but not answer so far.
