Feeds mapping does not recognize text fields using list widget

subscribing

type list_text is absent from the array of eligible string type fields in field.inc. The attached patch may help.

Many thanks todddevice for the patch. Did the modification manually, but it definitely works. Great !

Could someone please tell me how to apply or install this patch. I want the same functionality that the patch offers but I dont have any idea how to add this patch to Feeds module.
By the way I am using Drupal 7 on windows.

For manual applying the patch:
Open the patch as a text file. Study it. In you will find a file reference. That is the file the patch is meant for. Browse through the module map to find exact that file. In the patch text are one or more lines with a '-' and/or '+'-char at the very beginning. These lines have to be deleted and/or added to the source of the file.

Good luck !

You can also use the instructions on this page : http://drupal.org/patch, which is the proper way of using patches.

I modified the function field_feeds_set_target_text to allow to import multiple values since it's a list... The delimiter is '|'.

I tried using Field Tamper but I was not able to enable the tampering...

/**
* Callback for mapping text fields.
*/
function field_feeds_set_target_text($source, $entity, $target, $value) {
if (!is_array($value)) {
$info = field_info_field($target);
if ($info['type'] == 'list_text'){
$value = explode('|', $value);
}
else{
$value = array($value);
}
}
_field_feeds_set_target($source, $entity, $target, $value, TRUE);
}

Here is a patch to allow to import multiple values when the type if the field is a "list_text".

Thanks.

I can't get this to work.
I applied both patches successfully, but I still can't import values in my text_list/radio button field.
I've tried to switch to list widget but still have no effect.

The delimiter must be ','

The fix works with something like this:

"field_1";"field_2"
"text";"value1","value2"

I use the ; delimiter because Excel does not really like to open csv with , delimiters. Also, to avoid any problems I use double-quotes to allow to have some text values that contains comma.

To import items for lists, be sure to have the key, not the value. For example, if you defined your list like:

1|First item of my list
2|Second item of my list
...

You should import "1".

Hope that helps!

@emorency unfortunately I'm working with XML files, so I don't have to take care about delimiters.

patch in #3 seems to be already included

I don't think that patch in #11 makes sense to be included into the "core" feeds module as it forces the delimiter to be a comma and probably is not suitable for every case.

I'd suggest to use feeds_tamper or maybe custom code with hook_feeds_after_parse to split the multivalues

Confirming that #3 patch is working for me (used xpath parser with single-value field).

Anyone know how to get this working on version 6?

Well, there are two patches here, one possibly committed? Setting to "Needs Review"

#3 has apparently been committed, and seems to work. I was able to map a list text field and import successfully using the attached CSV. The field mapper unit test could/should be updated, though.
