Hi

I am trying out the latest ubercart ubercart-5.x-1.0-rc4 with drupal 5.7.

When I tried to import a csv file containing my products via the "Store administration/products/import/csv" menu, after mapping the fields and press the submit button, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimpleXMLElement::addChild() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\finanze2\modules\ubercart\uc_import_csv\uc_import_csv.module on line 561

Please do I need a later version of uc_import_csv? The one I found is 0.3

Thanks for your help.

That module hasn't been updated in a while, so it could be any number of things. On the surface it seems like you may need to update to PHP 5. Puzzled

Thanks for your reply and the info. I am actually using php 5.1.1.

Please confirm: is the only supported import the XML import?

I also tried node_import 1.5 too, since I need a csv import. It gets to the "Apply (import nodes)" button, and then does nothing after the button is pressed...

Aye, the XML import is the most supported as it's in core. The CSV import has had a fair amount of use in the community, but I don't know how up to date it is.

Is it possible you're running PHP with SimpleXML disabled? Or maybe the syntax on that line is just bad. Sticking out tongue

Thanks for the pointers. SimpleXML is actually running under PHP, and the syntax looks fine.

It would be nice to have the csv import in the core, since using a csv file derived from a spreadsheet seems to be a common way of distributing product changes...

I'm looking into using ubercart for a project that has product information in csv files....
