HI all,

I am getting very anxious for the new node import module Hurrah for progress!
However, I just downloaded the Jan 19 dev version and tried to upload a cvs spreadsheet. My content type has taxonomy, cck fields and an amazon field. As expected, the amazon field and the cck fields that are not numbers or text did not map.

What DID work was that on step 6 I recevied a flag that I had not mapped a required taxonomy field. I went back and mapped it and proceeded happily through step 8. (Thought that might be of interest.)

PROBLEM: At step 8, I click to import.
THe wizard took me back to step one and the data did not import. No error messages.

I will gladly try the next dev version or any other testing that could help. (I'm very light on programming experience, but not too bad on observation and documentation)

Were there errors in the error log (admin/reports)?

Does a "import task" appear on admin/content/node_import ?

Hi Robercht,

Here's a step -by-step (Hope this helps, apologies if this is too much detail)
Click Import Content: taken to List tab
Click Create a New Import using wizard: taken to New Import tab
Click NEXT button: Taken to Content Type page
CLick button for Content Type, click Next:taken to step 2 0f 8 showing uploaded files
Click UPload File link, Browse,Upload File: upload small csv file
Button defaults to new file (nice feature!), click Next:taken to step 3 of 8
Defaults to First Row contains column names: Leave default checked
Defaults to Comma Separated Values: Leave default checked
Check Sample Data: All mapped correctly from previous mapping
Click Next:modify a few guesses where taxonomy vocab is named differently from header row, and one field where field is named differently-no biggie (strange, though, that it shows up exactly perfect in sample data and needs a few tweaks in
content field mapped to column)
Click NEXT: taken to step 5 of 8, leave all defaults set to commas
Click NEXT:taken to step 6 of 8, leave all deafaults set to where defaults on content type are set
Click NEXT: aken to step 7 of 8, error message that one of my taxonomy fields is requires (it should be!, but I just checked and it was set.
Click BACK:taken back to step 6 of 8
click BACK:taken back to step 5 of 8
click BACK:taken back to step 4 of 8:found taxonom content field properly mapped to Maps to column ???
click NEXT:taken to page step 5 of 8, leave all defaults
click NEXT:taken to step 6 of 8, leave all defaults
click NEXT:taken to step 7 of 8, same error
click BACK: taken to step 6 of 8, fill in Vocab, does not search for tag already entered, even though it has the little circle in the field that suggests it should
click NEXT:taken to step 7 of 8, no error message (hurrah!) record previews look correct (note, some of these are duplicate entries, no flag for duplicates-is there supposed to be?)
click NEXT: takent to step 8 of 8
click START IMPORT
This time, the spreadsheet imported, reports 12 rows imported, no errors But
only Taxonomy fields imported. All CCK fields did NOT import, regardless of type of CCK

(Note that this time, I got all the way through the wizard unlike last time. Last time,-see original note-- it flagged an error on the taxonomy field, I went back and checked, the value was there and I did not enter the taxonomy field manually.)

Let me know what I can do next.

Status: Active » Postponed (maintainer needs more info)

Not sure what you mean here.

Click NEXT: aken to step 7 of 8, error message that one of my taxonomy fields is requires (it should be!, but I just checked and it was set.

So the error was that you have a required free tagging vocabulary, you are sure that all rows in the file have a value in the column you have mapped and that node_import gives an error that the free tagging vocabulary is required in preview?

click BACK: taken to step 6 of 8, fill in Vocab, does not search for tag already entered, even though it has the little circle in the field that suggests it should

Could you do the import without filling in "Vocab" on the defaults page? This will probably import rows with errors. Then submit the "Node import debug report".

The default value should indeed autocomplete.

click NEXT:taken to step 7 of 8, no error message (hurrah!) record previews look correct (note, some of these are duplicate entries, no flag for duplicates-is there supposed to be?)

What do you mean by duplicate entries? Are some rows shown twice?

This time, the spreadsheet imported, reports 12 rows imported, no errors But only Taxonomy fields imported. All CCK fields did NOT import, regardless of type of CCK

CCK fields are not yet supported. Really soon now.

Hi Robecht, Thanks for taking a look at my post.

Re: Not sure what you mean: I was just reporting that the function found my taxonomis inthe spreadsheet and matched most of them correctly.

Re: Could you do the import without filling in...: Yes, I'll give it a try and report back

Re: Duplicate entries: I already had some nodes loaded with info. Program re-imported info so that I then had 2 identical nodes. Am I supposed to get a waning about duplicate node title? I didn't.

Re: CCK fields: I was using dev version. I thought that text cck was supposed to be working in the dev version. Am looking forward to the newest version!

OK. I'll await your report.

CCK Text should work in -dev, true.

The "duplicate title" is not yet implemented, so it always imports giving you duplicates. That is correct.
I've not yet implemented "duplicate title", because I want to find a way to update nodes instead of always create, but that is not so easy.
