Movies Attribute Import #63

Open jmabbas opened 3 years ago

jmabbas commented 3 years ago

Attributes are not imported in movies. Also attributes fields are not included in sample movie CSV.

I also wonder how to import movie custom attributes. A sample csv with attributes could be really helpful.

The same thing with TV shows too. For some reason the authors left out quite a few attributes. One of the more glaring issues is with images. They chose not to add 'backdrops' and use the 'poster' as the main image. I have to use a custom attribute to add the image url to a movie/tvshow just to use it as a backdrop on my single pages.

@markomma There are two sample csv files in the 'sample-data' folder. One for movies and the other for tv shows.

There is a better alternative for movies, though the plugin doesn't handle TV shows. Check out Charlie Merlands WPMovieLibrary. You can pull in just about every piece of data attribute from TMDB. The importer is built into the Movie Post edit screen too, don't have to use the cheesy importer.
