Hi,

Using Moodle Moodle 1.9.2+ (Build: 20080910)
I tried using excel in creating a csv file to upload users. and seeing that it needs to be in utf-8 i save it again in notepad.

But when I press upload I get file is empty error.

But When I open it in notepad there is data in it.

Followed the help in setting up the file.

thanks

Hi Winston,

Starting in 1.9, the file doesn't need to be UTF-8. You can select the encoding on the import page.

Can you go in server->debugging and activate the display of error messages and possibly increase the debug level as well (that's the first select box on the page). This should display a bit more information about the error...

The CSV file is empty
Stack trace:

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem, using Moodle 1.9.2+ (Build: 20080924). When I try to upload a CSV file I get:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /opt/moodle/html/lib/pear/HTML/QuickForm/Rule/Required.php on line 39
"The CSV File is empty"
Stack trace:
  • line 1651 of lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
  • line 99 of admin/uploaduser.php: call to error()
I'm using moodle on SME Server 7.3 (www.contribs.org), I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I've used Moodle successfully on that server before, although with version 1.8.2+ (2007021520), not 1.9.2.

Should one of us file a bug report?
