I'm trying to import some content from our old static website, and to maintain backward compatibility each node is given an url alias.

Using the feeds module, I set the relevant CSV field to target "URL" in the feeds import settings. After I import the csv the url alias field of the node appears to be blank.

Am I misunderstanding what the URL target is supposed to do? I've tried relative and absolute urls with no luck.

Is a programmatic solution, like this: http://acquia.com/blog/migrating-drupal-way-part-ii-saving-those-old-urls the only way to do this?

any updates on this? Is this included in version 7? I'm having problem importing URL alias using Drupal 7.x. Thanks in advance!
