Importing data from CSV file into a file field in D7

Posted by svenA on November 30, 2012 at 12:28pm

Have a database in csv textformat. There is one field with pdf filenames.
I have succesfull imported the data to nodes with Feeds module, but the file field in my node type would not take the data from the .csv text field.

Is there a way to import into file field in D7 from csv files?
Of course I have to put my pdf:s into a right folder.

This is a huge database with 7000 items.

yes I have done it

In the file path column of csv, use path like following example :
suppose your xyz.pdf is inside /sites/default/files/pdf/xyz.pdf then path in csv should be :
public://pdf/xyz.pdf
