Hi,

I want to create an importer for a special content type which contains a date field. On creating manually a content of this content type I can set start date, end date and the repeat-option. On mapping for Node processor there is no repeat-option.

Is there no way to fill the repeat option with XML?

Thanks

Feeds doesn't provide a mapper for date repeat, but the module Date iCal does.
However, at this point there is an issue with mapping to repeat rule. See #2291345: Mapping to date repeat rule not working.

I hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to reopen this issue.

Feeds with Date iCal are both awesome solutions and I think this is a pretty common requirement for people wanting to import dates using Date iCal, however the folks at Date iCal have decided not to fix #2291345: Mapping to date repeat rule not working until there is a new stable release of Feeds. Can we expect a new Feeds release any time soon?

Thanks!

@Delty
No, I don't expect a new release soon. This is mainly because there are some issues with the generic entity processor. See also #2290465: [Meta] Create beta 1 release.

Thanks @MegaChriz, I appreciate the update and will keep an eye on the Alpha 9 release thread. In the meanwhile there is a recent patch posted at Apply this patch to Feeds 2.0-alpha8 to fix broken date import that has gotten things working with Feeds 2.0-alpha8 for the time being.
