Import error
Mark,
I've tried everything to import this file and I keep getting this error:
Console Console running... Running pre-import tests on submitted data... CSV file upload overriding any manual input. Filename: test-csv-format.csv No errors in pre-import found. Preparing import values... FATAL ERROR: Element count do not match. Please check for correct syntax on line 5.

It did import when I copied your csv directly into the RAW csv window?
That error means that not all of the lines (in this case line 5) has the same amount of elements.
Ie, this could cause that error:
pagetitle;template;menutitle;content;
Howdy-doodles!;2;Menu;This be my content, but wait; it has a semi-colon in it!;
Howdy2;3;Menu
In the first line there's a semi-colon in the content that ticks it off. The second line misses the last element entirely.
If you could upload/show the first lines perhaps I can find what's causing the issue, but it's likely an error in the file.
Looking into it more Mark before I get you involved. I was able to import using the RAW CSV window, but the fields that were TV related did't populate, the field that was pagetitle populated. I'll mess around a bit more. You're example showing all field types and associated example above helps by the way. I'd include that in your ZIP. Such that if you want to use a specific template you use just the ID.
Also, I was using a | (pipe) delimiter. Does it matter?
As long as te delimiter fron the csv matches the selected delimiter in the component thats fine.
Isn't there a similar example in the ImportX docs? Op 14 dec. 2011 17:35 schreef "greengoatmedia" < [email protected]> het volgende:

Success, at least partial. Have to be very careful of vetting the data before importing.
There is a similar example, yes, but it didn't include the template field, which helps to know.
I've added some notes to the docs on the CSV.. if you can think of any more, feel free to update the docs or to let me know.
Also about TVs: you'd have to use tv4 where 4 is the ID of the TV. Thought that was in the docs but couldn't find it, so had added it to the docs as well.
Thanks!
Try editing the csv file using Notepadd++ and make sure there is no empty final line. That worked for me. Did over 220 lines
