Hi,

I'm experiencing 2 issues which may or may not be related.

I have been importing the same CSV file a number of times using the File Upload mechanism and now when I try to upload a different CSV, the previous file is uploaded. I removed the file from the server, and tried to upload the new file, but I just get a message that the old file cannot be found.

As an alternative, I then tried to use the HTTP Fetcher to upload the new CSV file from the server. But although I have chosen to attach the standalone form in my basic settings for my importer, the input field for the url is not displayed - just checkboxes for Auto detect feeds and Use PubSubHubbub.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

THIS IS WRONG: FIELD IS DISPLAYED CORRECTLY ON IMPORT PAGE

Any updates? I'm having the same issue...

As in, there is no input field for the url.

csv uploads work fine for me.

OK, this seems a little counter-intuitive but the place is specify the url is not in the feed settings but in the import itself... and I guess after you specify it once, it refreshes thereafter using the same url in memory.

I always did wonder why it was impossible to get rid of the last uploaded file settng from the import page in file imports and why it was not even user specific. Even if I override the form file-info, it still picks up the last file from server memory.

Request making the url a feed setting and getting rid of the last imported file feature.
Or at least making it user specific.
I can see how having a global import memory can help with urls.
But it's a disaster with file uploads.

Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-2.x-dev

This issue persists into 7.x, and is not limited to just CSV files.
Seems to be an issue for any type of file upload.

Update: second issue about HTTP Fetcher is wrong.

I can no longer reprodruce this issue. Using the file fetcher and standalone form, when I upload a new CSV file and click "Import" that file is imported, not the previous one.
