In the readme.txt is says you can set feeds_process_limit to limit the amount of items that get processed per import. It does not currently respect that vale.

From readme.txt:

The number of nodes feed node processor creates or deletes in one page load.

This translates to the number of nodes created in one batch process. I.e. if it's set to 50, and you're importing 200 items, then there will be 4 batch processes run.

Title: Feeds node processor doesn't respect feeds_process_limit in settings.php » feeds_process_limit docs in README.txt should not limit itself to nodes.

Actually, the docs need to be fixed. It's not just a limit on the number of nodes, but any entity that is created by Feeds.

Setting that value in your settings.php doesn't do anything.

I use this often. Are you setting it in the $conf array?

pwaterz commented

yes I am

$conf['feeds_process_limit'] = 5;

still try to process the entire thing in one batch operation.

If you grep all the feeds code for 'global conf' it finds nothing.

grep -r -n 'global $conf' feeds

The $conf array sets values for Drupal variables.

Huh? Did you not read my last comment. I am not a drupal noob.

Feeds accesses the $conf array through variable_get(), not directly.

I apologize I did know you could access it that way. But it still isn't working for me. I will investigate more and let you know.

It looks to be working. I think i needed to clear the cache after I added it to the settings.php. Thanks for your help.
