Data Import module for dotProject 2.x ===================================== Copyright (c) 2005 Adam Donnison <ajdonnison@dotproject.net> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. About the module ================ The Data Import module provides a method for collecting various project details from external sources and import them into dotProject. It is designed to be extensible and configurable and provides for user-definable import options. Installation ============ As with all dotproject modules, unpack the archive and move the dataimport directory and all of its contents (including subdirectories) to the modules directory of your dotProject installation. This should result in a directory called dotproject/modules/dataimport. Then log in to dotProject as a system administrator and in System Admin, choose View Modules. Somewhere near the bottom of the list you should find the dataimport module. Select install, then click on the 'disabled' message to enable it. You can also add it to the list of modules in the top navigation bar by selecting the 'hidden' option. Usage ===== Select the Data Import module from the top navigation bar. This will display an import data form that asks a number of questions. If this is the first time through, you will be asked for details of the upload file format and the data mapping. This can then be saved so that on future imports you can select this configuration, or set this to the default configuration. Select Import Configuration
