Chamilo LMS

Here's a patch to implement import and export as CSV. It includes a csv library which turns an array into a csv string and vice versa. I'll use that code in the course progress import/export as well. It uses the CSV "definition" of wikipedia, which means it writes commas and accepts both commas and semicolons.

A problem with excel: depending on the locale it accepts commas or semicolons as separators. It is impossible to write a csv file which all localizations of excel will understand. Now I don't have excel and can't test that anyway, but I suppose this is a pity for some people. The export function might be improved by outputting the correct separator for the locale, or perhaps this should be a setting somewhere.

Feedback is welcome.

It works for me (with the new csv lib from the course progress patch), but replacing the glossary doesn't work in a session. It does work outside a session. I'll have to look into that.

hello guys thanks for posting this,

I'm adding this in Chamilo 1.9 requires testing
i'm using the import/export classes that we use in chamilo everywhere

Hi Julio,

I've tried it on 1.9 and the import is working well with a lot of terms into the course AD 2012.

May be, you should specify the file format for csv import's file.

And after import, I've tried to export it and it is working except for two things -

Get a look on two attached files samples
1- Codage of output (I'm not sure if it is UTF-8 because accents are not ok)
2 - The file format is not the same as the input.... and you will found html code at the bottom of the file.

Thanks,

Alain

Some fixes added:

term;definition line added in the CSV file

Por revisar.

Al exportar el glsario se genera un fichero como este que se adjunta, que no tiene el formato correcto cvs
Al tratar de importar el fichero input_file.csv que tiene formato correcto sale el sgt error

Fatal error: Call to a member function reset() on a non-object in /var/www/chamilodev.beeznest.com/www/main/inc/lib/system/io/file_reader.class.php on line 160 Call Stack: 0.0017 808864 1. {main}() /var/www/chamilodev.beeznest.com/www/main/glossary/index.php:0 1.3090 56339576 2.

Importacion funciona correctamente probado con el file adjunto

Should work now.

In http://chamilodev.beeznest.com, Importing process works fine but exporting process continues generating a bad file such as this(1.csv)

Should work now.

Fixed.
