# Run cron job to import storelocator items

On new version of the module we added cron job function allow import store locator information, tags, categories into database by csv files.

* You should create 2 folders, and config permission 0777 for them:

**pub/storelocator** : the folder you will input the csv files which you want to import.

**var/storelocator\_imported :** the folder will store the imported csv files.

* You can config enable/disable cron job in admin > Store > Configuration > Landofcoder > Store locator > Scheduled Import Location Settings
* To run cron job task of the module, please run command via SSH terminal:
* **php bin/magento cron:run –group=lof\_storelocator**

Also you can force run the cron job task click on menu item: admin > Landofcoder > Store Locator > **Force Run Cron Job**

Before run cron job, you should add the csv file into the folder “pub/storelocator/”. You can view the sample file at here: [**sample\_storelocator.csv**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7mHap9pY9nOQm96ZW9UZEdTYTg/view?usp=sharing)

To add tag and categories for storelocator item you should add the columns in csv file as this:

**1.Tags:**

*tag\_name* : can use comma to add more tag name

*tag\_description* : can use the char | to add more tag description

*tag\_position*: can use the char | to add more tag position

For example:
