CSV Import of bids-Gixen Mirror

bidsmad · Guest

With Gixen mirror subscription- csv import of bids is enabled, is there a way to import the .csv file automatically using the web interface, say using post/get in php ? Would it be possible? As doing this manually each time is very slow and especially when time is of the essense!
Thanks for the great service.

You want a method different from that already available on the Settings page ?

Yes-I just wanted to know if there was anything pre-existing to accomplish this other than that already available on the settings page. If not, would there be an issue implementing something to achieve this using post/get etc. from php on my end?

There is also the Gixen Desktop Manager route, under the 'Tools' menu.

Have you tried that ?

That will be using the Gixen API, so you can also investigate that if you want something else different.

Thanks for the reply Mark. I have not been able to get Gixen Desktop manager to work- after I sign in with my credentials, it instantly gives a socket timeout error, I'm currently behind a firewall, so i will have to wait to try it at home. Anyways, it seems to offer the same functionality, but perhaps I could script something, to add my bids periodically then using Gixen Desktop manager.
