Add data in bulk.

Hi all,

I need your suggestion for this.

I need to add data to mysql database through the admin interface, at initial i need to add data in bulk, so i thought of using csv upload but how to add images with csv i.e. when doing single add i insert name , description and a image via a form, but how to do the same for bulk.

Thanks in advance.

A: 

I assume you mean that you need upload the images? Why not upload them using FTP and put relative links e.g. /images/image5r.jpg in the CSV

Then you can use CSV uploads!

Hi Pez, this a client project, i don't want him to upload his images using ftp, i want do it using admin interface, kindly suggest..

Well then code an admin interface that accepts file uploads?
Pez Cuckow
yeah i have that for individual addition, but what should be the approach for multiple upload...
Ashish Rajan
So your question is actually "how do I upload more than one file"?
Pez Cuckow
i am using flash component for uploading , which too can be used for multiple upload, but my worry isn't it. Project have a product table, so client may want it to populate before website launch, filling all up individually is not feasible, i thought for csv but problem for image upload with csv, and ftp won't be easy for a layman... So i was just looking for suggestions to do the above with ease, with ease i don't meant coding, but for client..... Hope i made my view clear to you!!!. Thanks
