Data Processor for 7.x

The Data processor was removed from Feeds in 7.x because Alex was unsure of the future of the data module. Seeing as there's a release of data for 7.x, it makes sense to revive it.

I've been using Data module + Feeds a fair bit in D6 projects so this would be very welcome. I'm just wondering about the direction Feeds is taking and whether this sort of integration should now be done in the supporting module.

If the Data module included its own feeds data processor this would leave Feeds a little leaner and functionally more focussed.

A revival of Feeds Fast News on D7 would be great.

I was planning a project with data+feeds to avoid using nodes as a storage system. Mistake? Better lightweight solution out there?

Think we should close this issue and open one in the Data queue? I think it makes sense for it to exist in that module.

There's already an issue in the Data queue for this.

#1395778: Data processor does not show up in feeds to import RSS feeds

Would work be required in both modules to support this feature?

Not in both.. no.. either one will suffice. I started looking at it, but it's not as easy to port as I though. I'll see if I can find some time to help out more.

You might want to look at migrate module for your data import.

Will you be at Drupalcon 2012 Denver? I'll look to see if there is a BOF setup for Data!

+1, I'm looking for this as well.

Are there any news about the Data Processor for 7.x?

Will there be one? When can we expect it?

I have been using Feeds + Data with D6 and it really was a great combination.

I need to import data into db tables.. not entities
how to do that using Feeds Processor Plugin?

Looking to use this to get stock quotes from yahoo finance since Stock API has not been updated in a while

I have not tried this method with D6 since Stock API v6 works well

Hi!
You can use latest dev version of feeds with patch from this issue: #1033202: [Meta] Generic entity processor
Next you need to add few functions to data_entity module, you can find those functions here: #1551430: implement hook_entity_property_info for Feeds integration

Daniel A. Beilinson,

Thanks for your reply .. but can you explain more? I did not get it

I need to create processor to feed data into this database table :

$schema['egroups_user_term'] = array(
'description' => 'TODO: please describe this table!',
'fields' => array(
'uid' => array(
'description' => 'TODO: please describe this field!',
'type' => 'int',
'not null' => TRUE,
),
'tid' => array(
'description' => 'TODO: please describe this field!',
'type' => 'int',
'not null' => TRUE,
),
),
'primary key' => array('uid', 'tid'),
);

which is a normal database table .. not entity

I made a generic table processor for feeds: https://drupal.org/sandbox/Pierco/1885278

See issues linked to in #22.

This has been implemented through entities. Grab the latest version of Data and Feeds and the patch from #116

I've posted some basic instructions in the same issue.
