Project Importer 3.0 - web2project Release
Tags: 
Date: 1 September, 2008 - 07:55

The Project Importer is available for web2project!

This release can be downloaded here: Project Importer v3.0

  • The most significant change in this release is that it has been updated to support web2project. In the process, backwards compatibility with dotProject was lost.
  • This is a known situation and is not considered an issue or bug, it is a design decision and will not be reversed or reconsidered.  Please do not ask.
  • Simplified the class structure and encapsulated more of the type-specific details away from the user and the BaseImporter class.
  • Converted some of the raw SQL statements to use the DBQuery class.

This release can be downloaded here: Project Importer v3.0

i am trying to ad a project file that was 2000 lines and i am having some problems.

first off it never completes and some times i get the message that the import is exceeded max run time.

in all cases there is no import. smaller ones seam to work fine. any thoughts on what the problem could be?

i am using the newest release of web2project and your 3.0 importer.

Large Files

Wow... 1000 tasks isn't large, it's HUGE!  Previously, I've never worked with a project plan larger than 600 tasks.  I'm dropping you an email to follow up but I'd love to get a sample of one of your files to test.  Thanks.

Adding it to web2project as

Adding it to web2project as a module as per default would make web2project very popular I bet. A lot of people want to migrate to a webbased application but are stuck with their old data.

Project Importer in web2project

Adding the Project Importer to core web2project does make quite a bit of sense, but it's not going to happen in time for the release.  We're at a feature freeze and want to focus on resolving the last few issues before we risk adding new ones.

But thanks for the vote of confidence!

Big file upload fail.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on 15 October, 2009 - 01:44.

Hi, i am trying to upload a file 600 line, but it always show that Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in /home2/outdoora/public_html/offices.my/modules/projectimporter/imports/msproject.php on line 399
Is there a way I can increase execution time? or any other way I can import Project.
Thank you very much,
Keep on good work
:)

600 tasks is quite large, so you'll have to increase the set_time_limit parameter. So you'll have to follow these instructions:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

Depending on your configuratin, this may need to be updated in either your php.ini or your php itself.  With this many tasks though, you'll likely need to increase the memory limits.  Here are some good instructions for that:
