Importing list
Can you import email list to power messenger?
you can import a list that is in a CSV File to the Power Messenger MySQL Database using PHPMyAdmin or another MySQL GUI Tool.
importing CSV data to your database can be tricky.
the CSV file will need to be formatted correctly to fit the requirements of the Power Messenger database. The first row of the CSV file will need to set the column names, and use the same naming convention of the power messenger database. you dont need to include all of these columns in the csv file, but the column names you can use are:
UserEmail
UserFirstName
UserLastName
UserCity
UserState
UserZip
UserPhone
UserFax
UserCountry
UserAddress
UserAddress2
Once the CSV file is edited to include the column names, open it in a text editor like TextWrangler or Notepad
the first row will be a comma separated list of the column names, select the entire first row and select Edit -> Cut, make sure not to leave an empty row at the beging and save it (I recomend using save as to save it with a different name.
The reason for this step is that we need a comma separated list of the column names that are being imported in the same order as the columns in the csv file, this is needed for the import operation in PHPMyAdmin, we dont want to leave the column names in the CSV file, or a row will be inserted in the database with the column names.
I recommend using the save as method so you have one csv file with the data and column names and another with just the data, this way as your experimenting, you can easily copy the comma separated list of column names again.
Now open PHPMyADmin, select the power mesenger database, and select the pm1_users table
Go to the Import Tab.
Click the location of text file and select the csv file that has only the data in it
under the section "Format of imported file" select CSV.
Leave all the defaults as is except for:
In Fields terminated by, change that to a comma ","
In Column name paste the comma separated list of the columns that had been cut from the CSV file.
then click go.
no, as long as the column names list you enter in to the PHP myAdmin import dialog is the same order as the columns in the CSV
How do I add the CSV list I just uploaded to the data base into a specific group. I have created a clients group and I want everyone from the CSV file I just uploaded to be part of the mailing group.
You hva to assign the users to the groups manually in the Power Mailer admin.
I'm trying to load my CSV file on my 1&1 HOSTING MySQL database but there isn't an import function. Do you know how if work for this hosting company?
Here are my options:
Browse, Structure, SQL, Search, Insert, Export, Operations, Empty, Drop
Click the SQL tab, there should be a link for "Insert data from a text file into the table"
Thanks Jason, that's what I was doing. It seems like it is loading, I get all the right responses but it doesn't load the file. It only loads the first name in the list and adds the email address in the last field (User address 2). See the attached file for examples. I'm also attaching the csv file.
