    • Spreadsheet/Databse file to Tracker list

    Posted by Chris posts: 4 United States

    We're working on a video game Wiki using Tiki. One of my friends working on it has the skill list for the game set up in a spreadsheet and can build a Python script to import it into a database. I've set up the tracker fields to reflect the information in the spreadsheet.

    Here's the problem. I can't find anywhere in the DB where tracker lists are saved in a readable manner. Am I missing something? I've tried making several entries into the list then searching the database but there's no definable table containing all the data. Am I missing something? How is tracker information stored in the DB? The only readable DB I can find related to the trackers is the tracker fields table.

    Had anyone tried to do this or is there some trick to importing data into a list without inputting it all by hand one at a time?

    Thanks

    trackers are saved 'in a readeable''' with a lot of quotes in the db table tiki_tracker_item_fields
    spreadsheets are not using trackers
    please give some urls to be sure we are speaking about the same problem

    I'm sorry but I can't provide URL's. All information on the web site is currently protected by NDA and won't be publicly available until February.

    The basic idea of what I want to do is easily make a tracker list by simply importing my data into the corresponding database tables directly without having to input the list by hand.

    I'll take another look at the table you mentioned.
