    I'm looking for the same thing. Unfortunately, many of the popular CMS (content management system) applications, like Wordpress and Drupal, use multiple tables for their pages and posts. Multiple tables requires altering each table to get the import to work properly.

    Has anyone come across a CMS that allows an import of posts or pages into one table, and then the CMS still works properly?

    Any other ideas to get a .csv file into a CMS?

    Popular CMS scripts such as Joomla, Drupal, or Plone don't support such format.
    I suggest you look for a special type of phparticle directory script at www.sourceforge.net

    What are you actually trying to achieve as an end result? I am guessing that maybe you have a datafeed of products and want to import it into a CMS to setup a store?

    While not knwing of a CMS offhand, I do know that PHP CSV Importer - http://www.phpcsvimporter.co.uk/ does allow you to import a CSV file into MySQl and choose colums etc to use. There should be CMS' which could then reference this MySQL db.

    Thanks for the tip. PHP CVS sounds like a handy tool.

    I have a spreadsheet that I want to import into a CMS. Each line in the spreadsheet has "webpage title," "page content," and "filename." I have over 1,000 lines and would like some automated way to put those pages in a CMS. Any tips would be great. Thank you.
