Hello

When importing a CSV file, there seems to be trouble recognizing some field column header names. A window is shown to ensure fields headings in CSV match DB field names and offer a chance to re-map accordingly but if the names match in CSV and DB, why do we need to map the values?  Why can’t the fields map accurately?

thanks

Tony

Currently it checks atleast 80% similarity to map similar fields in import. To match fields we use similar_text

similar_text(strtolower($d),strtolower($r[“field_name”]),$percent);
if ($percent > 80)
{
// map
}

Code can be modified in lib/inc/import/step2.php

If you tell me your test case data (imported headings & database fields), i will verify further. So far 80% similarity works good for most cases.
