Node import

This module allows you to import a set of nodes from a Comma Seperated Values (CSV) or Tab Seperated Values (TSV) text file.

For Drupal 6.x

The port to Drupal 6 is work in progress.

Estimated time for node_import-6.x-1.0-rc5 is Sat April 25th. It will include new supported modules (Organic Groups, more CCK fields), fix a lot of bugs (mb_strlen problems, nodereferences, books, taxonomy, ...). Fixing those bugs is mainly made "easy" thanks to SimpleTest unit testing.

Dependencies

• Date API module.
• Advanced help module.

What works?

• Importing nodes:
  • blog,
  • books,
  • comment (comment setting),
  • node (title, body, format, authored by, authored on, workflow settings),
  • path (url settings),
  • taxonomy (assign terms to a node).
• Importing users:
  • user (name, mail, pass, status and profile fields).
• Importing vocabularies:
  • taxonomy (name, description, help, multiple, required, tags, hierarchy).
