DeepOne Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 So I’ve searched the entire forum and have failed to find anything about bulk editing models / categories. But I feel like it has to be possible because it’s such a mandatory ability. What am I missing? Basically I want to be able to bulk edit all models from a spreadsheet or similar interface. I want to bulk edit: Model groups, associated tags/categories, model stats (i.e height, hair color, etc), photo URL, and any other available options. It seems ridiculous that I’d have to open each models page one by one and individually select all of these when there is such a simple and efficient solution. Thank you for your help!

Tech Support Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Sorry, there is no way to do that at the moment via KVS admin panel. We are close to adding these features with our nextgen development, it will be possible to import / export / mass edit all the categorization.

DeepOne Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 Wow ok.. that’s surprising. So the only option is to individually set all these options? It will take an eternity! Just seems weird, I mean… the info has to be saved in a database right? So why can’t the database just be edited? Is this feature something that’s close to being implemented or just “some day”? Do you need beta testers to test it out!!? I’m available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The feature is not for the nearest version for sure, then we will see. I'm not sure how you think it will be faster to edit this in other way, because you still have to manually specify data for each object. Even with import or bulk edit you have to manually prepare each thumb for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepOne Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 I have photos of all models named “models-name.jpg”. I use excel to generate image URLs by combining my site url + model directory path + model name +.jpg which gives me: https://website.com/models/models-name.jpg and I instantly have image URLs for all of my models. Next step is to simply upload those photos to the “models” path used in url, then bulk copy/paste them into a “model thumbnail” column, and done. ALL of your models now have images, whether you have 10 or 1000… Might sound complicated but really it’s not, and takes 10 minutes. Also think about how long it would take you to hold ctrl, click to select a cell next to each blonde model, then press ctrl v to paste the word “blonde”, press save, and done… ALL blonde models are now labeled as blondes. Now think about how much time it would take you to individually open 500 model pages, scroll, select “blonde”, save changes, go back to all models, open next model, select “blonde”, save, and repeat…500 times. Now imagine repeating this method for ALL variables for ALL models…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I see, will be possible to make this faster in some future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeplaycams Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Yea im also surprised there is no bulk csv import for models or channels ect. Competitior mechbunny has this feature. Its quite easy to generate this data scraping say pornhub or similar site using Octoparse for even a basic newb not knowing any coding. It will create all data to a CSV file in the format you need and the ncan be imported to the database to match and update. Now what would be really nice is when you pull a video and it creates a said channel or model via grabber that it would go a few pages deeper and grab the models photo and bio info for KVS if it is still currently blank or on first time creating the said Model and Channel. This way all the models and channels have default images. I have also noticed it is quite frustrating every thumbnail has a certain size and the KVS backend does not auto-crop the thumbnails to the correct size and i have to do it manually. Like DeepOne said either way doing this manually would be impossible as there is 100's of channels and 10000s of models bios now a days. Only way is to do a mass scrape to CSV and Import feature. If anyone has any sort of work around i would be glad to learn/pay to have models and channels auto updated via a database update/scrape ect.

Tech Support Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 We will add mass editing / import with nextgen development soon for categorization. For models import we studied feasibility of adding such feature and found it is not feasible and can't be implemented in a reliable way. There is a custom script that we can provide (please create support ticket for this) which can be used to import / update model data via XML format. 15 hours ago, freeplaycams said: I have also noticed it is quite frustrating every thumbnail has a certain size and the KVS backend does not auto-crop the thumbnails to the correct size and i have to do it manually. This should not be true. KVS should crop the uploaded images for models and other categorization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
