CSV2Kanboard

A quick and dirty PHP script to import CSV files in Kanboard (http://kanboard.net/). Till we have native CSV import in Kanboard itself.

What is does

Creates tasks in Kanboard from CSV file. Useful for bulk task creation.
Create tasks in multiple projects, swimlanes, with different color codes... whatever Kanboard Webhook API allows
Supports fields while creation: project_id, title, description, color_id, owner_id, column_id

Download and put the csv2kanboard.php file somewhere.
IMPORTANT: You must set the Kanban webhook URL. Get it from http://<kanboard_url>/?controller=config&action=webhook. You can set it to one of these files:
- A file with name .csv2kanboard in the same directory. Just paste it in the file and make sure it's the first line.
- Open the csv2kanboard.php and set it there at line number 7. This is overridden if mentioned in .csv2kanboard file.
Run php csv2kanboard.php <filename>. You need to pass a comma delimited filename as argument.

Example command line:

php csv2kanboard.php sample.csv

Note: A sample data file is included. You can test with that -or- start creating your task list from it.

The CSV should be structured this way:

First line is assumed as header and skipped.
Columns must be in this order: project_id, title, description, color_id, owner_id, column_id
Mandatory fields:
project_id: If not provided, row will be skipped
title: If not provided, row will be skipped
[tips: These can be used to ignore a line. For example you want to skip certain lines (used as section identifier or header), set either of them blank.]
Optional field values:
description: Can contain markdown syntax
color_id: yellow, blue, green, purple, red, orange and grey. Default yellow. Anything else will create task with white background. But later you can always change it
owner_id: Numeric owner id. Default unassigned
column_id: Numeric column id. Defaults to first column on board. If column id does not belong to this project, task is not created and no error is shown
category_id: Numeric category id
Blank lines are ignored.

If it says 'Not Authorized', it means the token is not valid.
The webhook URL can be checked from browser. Call this URL from browser it's alright if you get a FAILED message. If you see 'Not Authorized' then this is not correct.
