Creating multiple coupons

I use this extension to sell registrations to races. We sell tickets via Groupon and need to be able to upload or create 500-1000 coupons per event and all at once. I do not see a way to upload them. Is there a way to do this? Can we have a way to upload them via FileManager or FTP? Can we have custom coding done to be able to?

Thank-you.

The Devs might have a better suggestion on hoe to do this, but what *** I *** would do is get someone to write me a mySQL routine that slogs through the datefile I want to import and inserts the data directly into the _eb_coupons table. Here's a snapshot of what the table looks like in my database (sensitive info hidden):


code: your coupon code
coupon_type: 0=% and 1=dollars-off
discount: % or $ off
event_id: 0=all events, or the unique id of the event that you want the coupon to be valid for
time: number of times the coupon can be used (set it to 1 for you Groupon codes)
used: number of times the code has been used (for you, 0 will be unredeemed, 1 will be redeemed)
valid_from / valid_to: self explanatory. The "zero" entry in the above example is a coupon that has NO expiry.
published: 1=code is live and will work if a user tries to enter it, 0=code will not work
