Import CSV to pages

[JonRead]

Hi,

Is it possible to import a CSV to *pages*, rather than posts?

Thanks
Jon

OK this is what I'm trying to do:

Create a certain number of pages, all of which is assigned a particular template.

I then want to enable visitors to review the item listed on that page.

I don't want reviews on posts, or on other pages not using that template.

How is this possible?

Thanks
Jon

Pages cannot be imported or reviewed.

This wouldn't work because pages are not classified into categories so the ratings system would be completely non-functional.

Hi Nick,

I don't have an AIM account, but can let you know what I'm attempting here.

I based my purchase of WFReview on one of your listed features: "Rate posts/pages in your Wordpress site", source: http://www.reviewpluginforwordpress.com/features/.

So, what I'd like to do is to manually add pages (CVS import would be useful but not neccessary), and simply to allow visitors to rate that page according to criteria that I specify.

At the moment I have a specific template for my "user review" pages. For example, I'd have a set of pages, each of which is dedicated to a particular widget. On each page, users would be able to rate that widget according to various criteria, eg usability, price, reliability, etc.

Is that possible? Pages aren't categorized, but would it be possible to use a custom field?

Thanks
Jon

Pages and posts are really not all that different. Why can't you have posts be rated?

Nick,

Posts are used elsewhere on my website for news and are fairly transient. Pages, however, are better suited for mostly static content such as this, and are accessible using the Wordpress menus.

Regards
Jon

Since pages are not defined under categories, the ratings are not available.

You could create a special category on your site just for these unique posts and configure that category as the only one with rating fields in WFReview. That category could be exlcuded from your categories lists on the site with some simple theme edits ("&exclude=[id of category]" in the wp_list_categories call).

Even if the rating system did work on pages, the vast majority of themes would need to be edited because the typical theme does not include the commenting forms on pages. It's technically possible to comment on pages, but very non-typical.

I see how to import CSV events. However, is there a way to specify the end time and end date during the import?
