Add CSV import export to the Members Model

[jsparmani]

The feature should allow us to create members by importing a csv from the admin panel itself. There are already many libraries which can help out with this.

I am not able to access the console to see the changes @jsparmani

[HarshitVerma001]

In the admin console, should I add my name to the database to access it?

@HarshitVerma001 Viewing production data from your local setup of the project isn't possible. For experimenting you need to generate your own data.
Also, let me know if you are working on the issue and ETA, so that I assign it to you.

Note: One thing that needs to be figured out is how to accept images for members model from a csv
for eg. if its a link the system must be capable of downloading that image and storing it into its own media store.

Okay, you can assign it to me and I can work upon it.

@jsparmani I was trying to solve this issue using these 2 resources :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18685223/how-to-export-django-model-data-into-csv-file
https://github.com/edcrewe/django-csvimport
But I am facing issues with the custom commands while importing the csv data back into the django models , and I preferred using the django-importcsv library over the django-adaptors one. Can you please tell a better way on how to import the data back ??

@jsparmani I have tested the import export thing on my system and it works fine , the import and export buttons show up inside the member field inside the admin panel from where data transaction can happen.

Okay, so how does import work for members model in case of images?

What if we create a form for members to upload their details and images and from there we can run an automation script that can send authenticated post requests to the DSC-TIET API to add the members.

Sounds good
