Hi,

I am developing a website for which I will be developing a number of new content types using CCK. These content types will be products; each product will be fairly complex with around 20-25 fields.

In terms of the content, I will be receiving a number of spreadsheets, containing a total of around 1000 products (spread over a number of content types).

When I developed my own websites from scratch, I would use PHP to read in the CSV and go through row by row, constructing the relevant SQL insert statement and executing them. With CCK I believe that the fields that make up the content type are spread out over multiple tables, so inserting the content would be quite complex (though not insurmountable I am sure).

Is there a simple means of uploading from CSV into bespoke Node types?

Regards,

Rick

Ideally I would like to use Drupal 6, though if required I would use Drupal 5.

Thanks,

Node Import?

http://drupal.org/project/node_import

I see it is for Drupal 5.x but there seems to be a 6.x patch in the issue cue.
