[Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] Import Feature?

I’m glad you like the plugin! The best way to get this done would be to do this from within MySQL. Most hosts have phpMyAdmin which can process bulk inserts from a file, but don’t as me about details. You don’t have to worry about the timestamp/user/user_ip fields, but unique_id has to be something unique for each row. Other than that you should be fine. The data table will be something like ‘wp_fm_data_1’, where the ‘1’ will correspond to the ID of your form. You can figure this out either from the ‘wp_fm_forms’ table.

Terrific! I was able to figure it out. Ended up using a mixture of PHPMyAdmin and SequelPro on the Mac.

One question, is there a way to auto define those unique_id’s? Ive got about 550 of these and really don’t want to have to edit every entry if I don’t have to ??

Thanks again!

You could do it with a php script. for a given data table, go through the column names, and change column name and the corresponding unique_id in the fm_items table to whatever you want. You would still have to build a master list of new/old names. If your item labels are unique across all forms, you could use the sanitize_title() function to generate a ‘unique_id’ based on the item label, or maybe the item label and a random number. At the moment I forget how long the unique_id field is, but something like that could work.
