CSV Import Action

The CSV Import Action lets you quickly and easily read a CSV file into an array, ready to use. After reading, your data will be available in the same way as any other Chronoforms variable - using {var:csv_import#}. The action supports data with or without headers.

This action is only suitable for smaller files as PHP's fgetcsv function can very quickly use up large amounts of memory - a 4MB .csv file can easily take up 900MB or more of your server's memory during processing.

How to Install - Joomla Plugin Installer Installer (Joomla Only) NEW!

To install the new action on Joomla, download the plg_SkySpiderCFv6<ExtensionName>.zip file and install it the same way you would install any other Joomla (under Extensions→Manage→Install), and then enable it (under Extensions→Plugins). The first time you install the plugin will install the action to Chronoforms, and enabling the plugin will ensure it stays installed when you update Chronoforms or Chronoconnectivity. Using this method, the action will not be deleted when you update Chronoforms or Chronoconnectivity

How to Install - Chronoforms Installer (Joomla and Wordpress)

To install the new action, download the function.<ExtensionName>.zip file (don't extract it). In your Chronoforms menu click "Install feature" and upload the zip file. Using this method, the action will need to be reinstalled whenever Chronoforms or Chronoconnectivity are updated.
