Skip Empty Cells

lethargio,

I don’t understand you very well.

Now: if cell is empty, we don’t update it.

What do you want? If cell is empty you want to empty the data?

Sorry I was not clear.

Let’s say I have a user with a meta key ‘user_school’ and meta value ‘Jefferson’ already present in the database: If I import that user again but the user cell under ‘user_school’ has no value, what happens is the the existing meta value of ‘Jefferson’ gets replaced with an empty value from the empty cell in the csv.

What I would like to happen is for the import to skip over the empty cell for that user in ‘user_school’ instead of replacing it with the empty value. So after re-importing the user, the ‘user_school’ value will still be ‘Jefferson’.

If I understand you correctly, the plugin is not supposed to import the empty ‘user_school’ value but instead use existing value of ‘Jefferson’. If this is the case, maybe there is something wrong with my csv format.

Yes, I understand, now all data is updated, even the cell is empty.

We should have a checkbox to choose:

• If cell is empty delete post meta
• If cell is empty do not update the previous value

Is this correct?

Yes. That’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Ok, we can do it but we would need you support this new functionality.

Half an hour of work it would cost 20€ and the improvement would make it free later (here in the repository).

Tell me.

Sounds good. I’ll send an email to your contacto@ address from your website for payment arrangements.

Perfect, you can write directly to carazo AT codection DOT com if you prefer.

As the new functionality is made, I am going to close this thread.

Thank you very much for all!
