| [16:40:49] | <conservationmave> | Hi all! I'm new and trying to import my property boundary as a kml file. Tried to create a new area and then went to upload the kml file, but it said the upload failed because the only files that can be uploaded are image files. Anyone have a work around? |
| [17:03:44] | <paul121[m]> | Hello! I think you might want to use the area importer |
| [17:04:57] | <paul121[m]> | That will take the KML file and generate areas that you can review before clicking save and creating the areas |
| [17:08:40] | <paul121[m]> | Ah but one clarification. The method I described requires the Farm Area Import module to be installed - that is useful for importing multiple areas |
| [17:10:02] | <paul121[m]> | But I think it should work for single areas as well |
| [17:22:59] | <mstenta[m]> | Actually I think what you want to do is upload your KML file to the Files field on the area |
| [17:23:12] | <mstenta[m]> | Not the images field |
| [17:24:03] | <mstenta[m]> | The files field accepts KML files, and that's where it needs to be uploaded in order to use the "Find in Files field" button |
| [17:25:26] | <mstenta[m]> | [paul121](https://matrix.to/#/@paul121:matrix.org) 's suggestion would work too, but if you already have separate KML files for each area you might as well do it in the Add /Edit Area form |
| [17:28:54] | <paul121[m]> | Wasn't familiar with the individual upload! That's great |
| [17:43:28] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh yes! That's the original way :-) |
| [17:43:37] | <mstenta[m]> | The bulk uploader came later |
| [17:44:45] | <mstenta[m]> | This describes both: https://farmos.org/guide/areas/#importing-a-kml-file |
