It would be really handy to have to ability to pick your Node Profile Content type before you import your users (i.e. users with node profile content). At the moment if you have multiple node profiles in use, each will get a node generated during import, even if you only want one of them.

The only sensible work around at the moment is to disable the node profiles you do not want before you import your users.

The possibility to select your node profile content type would greatly improve this otherwise excellent module.

Best,
Christian

There is another little feature which would be very welcome.

If you are importing a user with multiple piece of node profile contents, only the last node profile content is imported if you use the 'Update Existing Users' option. It looks like both are generated, but the first one is overwritten. It would be great to have the option to generated more than one node profile content per user on import.

If you don't use that option two users will be generated, each with a node profile content associated with them.

I have set the node profile content in question to more than 1.

I am just testing out the many changes/updates you have made to the the user import module and everything is working very nicely. Great work Robert. I am no longer getting any errors messages. One little thing, it looks like my saved settings (ie. the settings mapping the different fields to the CSV file are gone, but that has probably something to do with the changes to the ability to generate a particular node profile content type, no biggie, re-setting them does the trick).

I am still unable to import users who own more than one content type. If I leave the 'Update Existing Users' unchecked I get the first content imported. The second is ignored because its using a duplicate email address. If I check it, only the second nodeprofile content is imported. Is there a possibility to have an option to import users with more than one content type - created by the same user? I hope this makes sense. Alternatively, is there another way to do it?

I figured out a work-around. Instead of trying to importing everything in one-go using User Import, I am importing the first node profile piece only with User Import and the remaining using node import. It's a bit more work, but it works.

cnolle, I'm not 100% clear on what you're trying to do.

With User Import 5.x-2.0-beta4:

Only one account will be created per email address.

If you include data to be added to that account on the same row of the csv file as the email address it will be added to the account, even if it's to go into multiple nodeprofile nodes (1 of each type).

If you include a row later in the csv file with the same email address it will over write the data in that account, if you have 'Update Existing Users' enabled.

Hope that clears up any confusion, please open a new issue if there is still a problem as I think this one is done ;-)
