Importing a feed exporter doesn't seem to work.

I create a feed importer, and get it working on a local environment; then I export the importer. The export has elements for name, description, fetcher, processor and parser

I copy the code, on then go to
./admin/structure/feeds/import
on another site instance, and paste in the export code.
An importer is created, but none of the attributes are set, not name, description, nothing.

Here is what I have for export:

$feeds_importer = new stdClass();
$feeds_importer->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default feeds_importer disabled initially */
$feeds_importer->api_version = 1;
$feeds_importer->id = 'blog_importer';
$feeds_importer->config = array(
  'name' => 'Blog Importer',
  'description' => 'Blog Importer',
  'fetcher' => array(
    'plugin_key' => 'FeedsFileFetcher',
    'config' => array(
      'allowed_extensions' => 'txt csv tsv xml opml html htm',
      'direct' => FALSE,
      'directory' => 'public://feeds',
      'allowed_schemes' => array(
        0 => 'public',
      ),
    ),
  ),
  'parser' => array(
    'plugin_key' => 'FeedsXPathParserXML',
    'config' => array(
      'sources' => array(

      ),

        'xpathparser:3' => 0,

      ),
      'context' => 'node_revision',

    ),
  ),

      'expire' => '-1',
      'author' => 0,
      'authorize' => 0,
      'mappings' => array(
        0 => array(
          'source' => 'xpathparser:0',
          'target' => 'nid',
          'unique' => 1,
        ),
        1 => array(
          'source' => 'xpathparser:1',
          'target' => 'title',
          'unique' => FALSE,
        ),
        2 => array(
          'source' => 'xpathparser:2',
          'target' => 'body',
          'unique' => FALSE,

        3 => array(

          'target' => 'path_alias',
          'unique' => FALSE,
        ),
        4 => array(
          'source' => 'xpathparser:4',
          'target' => 'created',
          'unique' => FALSE,
        ),
      ),
      'update_existing' => '0',
      'input_format' => 'full_html',
      'skip_hash_check' => 0,
      'bundle' => 'blog',

  ),
  'content_type' => '',

  'import_period' => '-1',
  'expire_period' => 3600,
  'import_on_create' => 1,
  'process_in_background' => 0,
);

Am I missing something here?

thanks

OK, I see that the export code is intended to be called from
hook_feeds_importer_default
is that right?
But then what's the context of the import importer admin form?

thanks

I've got the same exact problem.

Exported importer, then went to another site running the exact same codebase, clicked import... nothing.

I also got a bunch of "a feed already exists with this id" error feedback before i just said "overwrite existing" and it took, even though i have 0 existing feeds on the target site.

Component: Feeds Import (feature) » Code

changing component because the "Feeds Import" component is actually just "An example of a node importer and a user importer" and has nothing to do with the "Import Importer" task on the /admin/structure/feeds page.
