Before I imported the html file from Google Bookmarks, everything was working perfectly fine. How can I resolve this issue? I literally installed Shaarli on my Ubuntu VPS just a few minutes ago. Thanks.

I emptied the datastore.php file and now everything works fine. Of course no bookmarks at the moment. Is there a way to import from the bookmarks.html that Google Bookmarks generates?

Hi @bisherbas,

The issue is likely related to how bookmarks are exported by Google, and how the parser reads them.

Would you mind sharing a sample export (e.g. with 5 to 10 entries/bookmarks) from Google Bookmarks so we can update the parser code to support this format ?

Hi @virtualtam,

Thank you for your reply. Please see a sample Google Bookmarks export below:

Thanks! It's due to the date formatting indeed and should be easy to patch :)

Thanks a lot! :)

Should I close the issue now? Looks like you've merged some updates.
