I installed feed api, feed mapping and csv parser and I couldn't figure out where to go to import csv. Really, I looked at administration by module and all I saw was import and export OPML. Also when I go to create content and pick feed. The feed form doesn't give me an option for this either.

Thanks,
Becky

I am stuck too and cant seem to find any documentation anywhere.

I was able to import an rss feed successfully. Then I wanted to import a csv file but Im not quite sure how to do it. I tried uploading the csv file to my server and putting the full path in the 'feed' field but it keeps telling me there are no items found.

Any tips please?

You have to create a content type and configure the FeedAPI section on the content type configuration page.

Got it. Then what?
I think I was expecting a file upload field and I don't have one. Do I enter the path from my harddrive?

#4: there is no file upload (yet). Only URL's accepted...

#4: I filed a feature request for file upload #363313: Support file upload - I don't plan to act on it in the near future though :-|

Title: Could you post a "how to" about this module? » Improve documentation: better install instructions
Category: support » task
Priority: Normal » Critical

The first step would be to include better installation instructions. This should be part of the next alpha release, I will mark this issue critical therefore. Any input is welcome.
