Node Import appears to work fine with CCK in my latest experience, with the exception that it doesn't actually write anything into these fields. It allows the mapping, it allows all elements to proceed, and it appears to work, except when you go into the fields in question, it fails to actually write.

Attached error report and the file (tab-delimited format) that I was using.

I believe I am experiencing the same issue. In my case, however, node_import successfully imports three integer fields, but none of the text fields. I am using the most recent version of both Drupal and node_import.

Hey, I'm having the very same problem. I can successfully import 4 text fields but none of the others seem to work. Using the most recent versions of Drupal, CCK and node_import also. CSV format.

I also seem to have the same problem : when I preview the import, all fields are mapped alright. When I proceed with import all fields but the last two are written to the CCK fields. The two fields not getting imported are a date and an integer (those fields are here for all records when I preview them !?!), but there is no error reports except for one which just says "errors", no additionnal explanation, for the first line (labels).

Edit : After much testing the date field is the culprit, if I import my dates into a text field, it works alright. Let me clear that I *have* been careful to set the date format and prepare the dates in my CSV file accordingly (e.g 04/2009). Therefore I don't think I have the same issue other people have here. It's rather a problem with importing dates.

I also have the same problem as #1 and #2. Also, I have some date mappings, but the import fails to populate all the CCK text fields with or without the dates included.

Just an update. I got this to import all my cck fields when I removed my date field.

Yes, and the same here. When I removed the CCK date fields from my Content Type, the import worked OK, except of course I needed the date. Still, at least it is narrowed down a bit.

Please note that my original issue that started this thread does not concern any Date fields (as you can tell from my documentation submitted, which matches the documentation requested by the maintainers).

Are their known problems with anything in this configuration?

Sorry exprairiot - I didn't read your post correctly. I've changed the title back now.

Same issue here:
Integer fields mapped and imported;
text fields mapped but not imported and no errors;
date fields not mapped or imported.

Updating to the latest -devs for the date and node import modules let me get everything to work except that date fields were not imported. A report has been posted here: http://drupal.org/node/374346

Sort of the same issue here:

Text fields are mapped, previewed, but not all imported. The text fields which did not import had a different widget (select list, and yes, I've checked csv against is) or different max text size (60 instead of default 255).

Same issue:

Fields are mapped, previewed, but not all imported include text fileds with select list widget.

Any chance to fix it?
