Hi,

As far as I am aware the mass CV import feature is not currently working, in the attached screenshot you can see that the file upload area is not working correctly and simply showing a flash box.

The code for the upload object is below:
Code: Select all
<object id="FlashFilesUpload" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" viewastext="" height="350" width="450">
<!-- Replace symbols " with the " at all parameters values and
symbols "&" with the "%26" at URL values or & at other values!
The same parameters values should be set for EMBED object below. -->
<param name="FlashVars" value="uploadUrl=http://example.com/modules/asp/lib/MultiPowUpload/upload.php?session_id=tdku5m9j4l918sc5fvq3b6uop5&showLink=false&labelUploadText=%20&backgroundColor=#FFFFFF">
<param name="BGColor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="Movie" value="http://example/modules/asp/lib/MultiPowUpload/ElementITMultiPowUpload1.7.swf">
<param name="Src" value="http://example/modules/asp/lib/MultiPowUpload/ElementITMultiPowUpload1.7.swf">
<param name="WMode" value="Window">
<param name="Play" value="-1">
<param name="Loop" value="-1">
<param name="Quality" value="High">
<param name="SAlign" value="">
<param name="Menu" value="-1">
<param name="Base" value="">
<param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="Scale" value="ShowAll">
<param name="DeviceFont" value="0">
<param name="EmbedMovie" value="0">
<param name="SWRemote" value="">
<param name="MovieData" value="">
<param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1">
<param name="Profile" value="0">
<param name="ProfileAddress" value="">
<param name="ProfilePort" value="0">
<!-- Embed for Netscape,Mozilla/FireFox browsers support. Flashvars parameters are the same.-->
<!-- Replace symbols " with the " at all parameters values and
symbols "&" with the "%26" at URL values or & at other values! -->
<embed bgcolor="#FFFFFF" id="EmbedFlashFilesUpload" src="http://example.com/modules/asp/lib/MultiPowUpload/ElementITMultiPowUpload1.7.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="uploadUrl=http://example.com/modules/asp/lib/MultiPowUpload/upload.php?session_id=tdku5m9j4l918sc5fvq3b6uop5&showLink=false&labelUploadText=%20&backgroundColor=#FFFFFF" height="350" width="450">

</object>
Does anyone know how I can get this feature to work, even if it does not do the parsing and simply creates a new candidate for each CV uploaded.

Many thanks

HI there, you're quite right - there's a regression from 0.9.1 to 0.9.2. This was part of the 'scrubbing' to remove professional vs open-source users.

0.9.1 mass import screen attached (which explains how to upload)

This is logged in github as issue #55 https://github.com/opencats/OpenCATS/issues/55

I understand, thanks for your reply.

I am also having an issue with the Data Import when trying to import candidates in CSV format.

I have set the headings of the document to 'first_name', 'last_name' and 'email1' to match the database column names, however when I select the file and click next it simply refreshes the upload form and unattaches the file.

Is this the correct way to set up the csv file? Do you have any idea why it is not going to the next step?

Also with the bulk resume import on the page where you click on each entry to manually add candidate details so they can be imported as candidates, I would like to add the 'current employer' field here and also a custom field of 'current job title' (although I think this one would be more complicated as it is a different database table), I have tried to do so in the code by copying another field but it is not saving the value entered. What would be the best way to go about doing this? As it would save quite a lot of time.

Any help at all is much appreciated.

Regards

Okay. Candidate CSV import. Must admit haven't tested it yet in 0.9.2. I'll make a note to add it as a new unit test for all new builds. Certainly works in 0.9.1a.

Bear with me - will build a test instance of 0.9.2 and see...

If it's failing for some reason, you should see a reason in your apache error.log

Okay - I can reproduce that. Clearly there's an issue in 0.9.2 someplace. For now - please revert to 0.9.1 if you want to deploy. This is logged as a new issue..
