Listloader Custom Template Maker not working

I am trying to create a list load template. I load my CSV file in to the template maker. The first row on the CSV file has the first 7 columns populated with the following values: "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"

I then select a List ID, and proceed to try and map my column titles to Vicibox's field names.

The problem is rather than being able to select what I uploaded ( "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"), I am stuck with being able to select from these values: (none), "0", "vicidial", "1", "1". I have no idea where these values came from.

I tried uploading in TXT (tab delimited) format, and also tried changing the data in the first row of the file I loaded. No matter what I do, I always get the exact same five options in the drop-down: (none), "0", "vicidial", "1", "1".

What am I doing wrong?

In my personal experience, I could only get Firefox to work with this. Chrome would not work. Also, try using text, pipe delimited " | " w/header row.

Thanks karl for the tip. I've been using Firefox all along, but can't get it working. Per your suggestion, I created a simple txt file with the following:

a|b|c

Unfortunately, when I loaded it in, and selected the drop-down to start mapping, it gave me the same five values: (none), "0", "vicidial", "1", "1"

Very strange.

Found that the file needs to be named txt.

libre office/open office saves as .csv by default so you need to rename the file. or it might not be needed in a future version of the lead loader :)
