In my excitement I forgot to actually type what I intended to....we have come across something strange which may be related to the mod, or it could be a problem with our server.

Our test site is on a separate server to the live site, and the hosting co strangles the processing time.
I exported the data from our live site. No problem. File created. (Different hosting co with more bandwidth).

I wanted to import this to our test site. Tried to import but timed out.

To get around this I split the files - that worked fine - but then when I tried importing one of the split files it still timed out. The file size doubled. when I download the now larger split file it has duplicate entries - so rather than 2000 it now has 4000.
So I deleted all EP files and then changed the no of items to 500.

My original file then split to 8, I imported the first file witha file size of 389k. It still timed out, but then the size of every one of my split files doubles. I checked the file sizes on the server too.

When I look at the content all items seem to have duplicated.

If I try again, same happens again. and all records duplicate again.

The csv files just increase in size each time.
Each time they appear to add the records again, so after 2 failures each file contains 3 identical lines of data for each item.

There is clearly an issue with the server which is why we are only keeping our test site on it. But the behaviour may be something you need to be aware of.

I'm sorry I'm not a techie so dont know if that's enough to help or not. And it may be nothing to do with your mod.

Thanks
