Joining forces of Feeds XLS and Feeds Excel

Sure ;)

Do you have source code anywhere, e.g. on github?

subscribe, note to self: D7 version of Feeds Excel with actual code. check prototype if working.

Simon,

sure wish your link was git clone-able. Hehe I am back to good old fashion copy and pasting.

I try to have a look on this in London ;)

I just looked in this issue again. Are you in town for the code sprints tomorrow? Maybe we then can meet there.

sdrycroft, I will work on the D7 Version within this week. I first want to get some overview of your D7 work and the possibilites, and then will contact you again for further maintainance.

see #1191426: Drupal 7 version?

sdrycroft, arg, ok, so we missed the join. But I very much recommend we join forces in providing a single module. As both module's would do exactly the same.
The next days I will spent some time on a direct port to D7 (with using the old PHPExcelReader library).
In the 7.x-2.x, I'd recommend to implement the PHPExcel Library (or maybe make it pluggable) and clean up the UI.

What do you think about it?

So, I finally got to port the module to D7: #1191426: Drupal 7 version?

So now we can start to improve the module ;)

I had in mind to
* make Libraries pluggable
* improve UI (a simple and expert version?)
* improve walking the excel file (for batch processing)
* improving token support (chaining of file, sheet, row/column, cell)
* build wrapper objects for workbook, sheet, range / row / column, cell
* drush support for downloading Excel libraries

sdrycroft, feel free to post some issues of new features or ported functionality from feeds_xls, that shall go into 7.x-2.x
Just made you con maintainer of this module ;)

How'd you like to process with feeds_xls?

Hi any news on this? Seems that the module hasn't evolved since last october

Cheers

Hi unfortunately you are right. Nothing moved so far in this, as I didn't have enough time to start the new branch. It's still on my plan, bu can't promise any date.

Just wanted to see if there is any interest in this still or if this should be considered "closed won't fix".

I'm in the process of evaluating both modules for a client need and could potentially dedicate some time reviewing/helping (full disclosure, probably no more than 10 hours given the size/scope of this project).

@rick, I very much like to see more work on this. If you want to spent some time on these modules, that would be great. I then would support you actively in bringing that forward.

Hum, 2 years without news. Can we consider the project as dead ?

I currently cannot dedicate much time, so there was not active development from my side. So anyone willing to join the project is welcome :)
