CCK text field & publishing options fail to import

Can you attach a sample CSV file you are trying to import (a couple of rows)?

What is your Drupal version?
What is your PHP version?

I do not understand the Access control problem. It seems hook_perm() is not being called ?? Have you tried to completely uninstall the node_import module (go to Administer >> Site building >> Modules, unselect node_import and Save configuration, then go to the Uninstall tab on the same page and uninstall node_import, then reinstall it)? Or alternatively, if you have devel module installed, have you tried to clear the cache?

Thanks.

I'll look into the import problem tomorrow (or this evening if I can find the time). Thanks for the images... they help a lot.

The perm problem puzzles me as I have never seen that before. Looking at the code in modules/user/user.module (function user_admin_perm($rid = NULL) and function theme_user_admin_perm($form)) where the permission page is constructed I see no real reason why exactly the node_import permission would disappear. Strange... Any help in debugging (probably in the functions above) would be appreciated.

UPDATE: you could easily test if node_import_perm() is called by changing (in node_import.module):

/**
 * Implementation of hook_perm().
 */
function node_import_perm() {
  return array('import nodes');
}

into

/**
 * Implementation of hook_perm().
 */
function node_import_perm() {
  drupal_set_message("DEBUG: node_import permissions is called");
  return array('import nodes');
}

and then going to admin/user/access. If you see a message things should work ?!

Yes! Node export is the problem. That module also defines a permission called "import nodes", the same Node import uses. Probably because node_export comes before node_import alphabetically, the permission shows under Node export and disappears under Node import.

You can just check the permission under Node export and the checked roles will be able to use Node import too.

I can't really fix this permission problem. As far as I'm concerned it is a bug in Node export as that module was created later then Node import. It should not have used the same permission.

As far as the failing import... first thing tomorrow.

With a clean install of Drupal 5.12, Node import 5.x-1.8 and CCK Text 5.x-1.9 I can not reproduce this bug using exactly the same steps in configuring the content type and following the same steps as in the images (as admin).

PHP 5.2.4, MySQL 5.0.51a on Ubuntu Linux - not sure if that could be a problem. I'll try to install an exact equal version... What is your CCK Text version?

OK, this seems to be a PHP 4.x problem, maybe only on Windows (pass by value instead of pass by reference). A fix will be included in 5.x-1.9, released later today.

Thanks for the versions information.
