I apologize if I missed a prior request for this feature or if I have missed a patch or some other resolution. I would like to import values from the CSV file into fields that are normally selected using a CCK drop down list and a CCK radio button value.

I am using Drupal 5.1 and Import_Node port for 5.1

I am using a work around for a State select list: I change the widget from Select list to Text field, then do the import, and then change the widget back to Select list.

Thanks,

That sounds like a viable workaround. I will give it a try.

Appreciate your response.

Is this likely to be worked on soon?

Did it work in older versions or has it never worked for node import?

Is there any other workaround other than the above (not really an option for us).

Can anyone help me please?
My version is drupal 4.7.x and I used node_import 4.7 v.
I could not import data from csv for select list and check box/radio buttons field.

I guess there are two patches (#patch 11 and # patch 15) available somewhere in this forum which some users have found to be useful.
The patches are for node_import>supported>cck>content.inc

I tried them but the patches do not work in my case. I am new to php and found it quite difficult to add the patches correctly, particularly # patch 11.

Probably I am doing some thing wrong somewhere.

I shall be very grateful if any one helps me (& others like me) out by posting/attaching the modified file/page which works after adding the required patches.

This indeed would be of great help.

A million thanks in advance.

Please Note: I am using Drupal 5.7.

I am trying to do users import using user_import.module in combination with node_import.module. The reason for that is that I am using node_profile.module and apart from users data I am also importing their profiles data.

All works fine, but selects and checkboxes (just NULL values in database).

I used the advise of R.Castello who actually told me to do the same thing, but id doesn't work!!!

Changing 'widget_type' in {node_field_instance} and {node_field} tables to 'text' doesn't change the situation.

Is there anything I am missing?
