Releases for Node import

NO NEW FEATURES - NO SUPPORT FOR CCK FIELDS OR ANY OTHER CONTRIB MODULE

Bugfixes

A typo prevented any import to succeed (the wizard fails before Set default values page).

Changes since DRUPAL-6--1-0-RC1:

• by robrechtj : error in types list of user.inc
• by robrechtj : display an clear error when the user does not have the necessary permissions and show the buttons (eg Reload) so the user still sees it is a form.
• by robrechtj : better sorting of the content types.
• #344663 by robrechtj : add sample data on mapping page as well.
• by robrechtj : get rid of hook_node_import_static() and call it hook_node_import_values() instead. All node_import hooks pair up beautiful with an _alter().
• #346020 by robrechtj : typo fix which prevented the Set default values page to be displayed. Thanks biohabit!

Bugfixes

• #330806 : CCK text field & publishing options fail to import, thanks diego.paroni!

Bugfixes related to CCK

Support for CCK fields has been greatly improved, fixing following issues:

• #294315 : Empty nodereference fields are matched to nodes with numeric titles., thanks a_c_m.
• #227681 : Date 2 API breaks node imports with dates, thanks JohnAlbin, BrianJubal and mvc.

• #200741 : Check boxes/radio buttons
• #273423 : Option widget "allowed values" validation, thanks tokimeki.
• #236722 : Not able to import to CCK "node reference" fields

Improved reading of CSV files

The replacement for the fgetcsv PHP function has been improved to handle more "errors" in the CSV files:

Features

• #244367 : Assign node uid with user email. To identify the author of a node, you can now use the UID, the name or the email of a user in the "Authored by" column of your CSV file.
• #243932 : Allow customizing of field and text delimiters. Thanks incrn8!
• #247029 : New hook for "node import complete". Thanks JohnAlbin!

Bugfixes

• Fixed a number of issues with the CSV parser. Should fix:
  • #165383 : module cuts titles or content after special characters
  • #241216 : bug when import Š Č Ž Ą Ę and so on symbols
  • #235433 : Out of Memory error when running any import
  • #253406 : CSV Import Breaks HTML Code
  • #248789 : Spaces near delimiters/wrappers cause problems
• #238679 : Node Import code review patch. Thanks oliveyrc!

Added support for image module.

• You need to upload the images to files/images before doing the import.
• The content of the column you map to Image: Image must be the filename relative to files/images.

For example:

• Upload image1.jpg to files/images.
• Import a CSV file like:
  
  "Title","Body","Image"
"The title", "The body", "image1.jpg"
• Map the Title column to the Title field, the Body column to the Body field and the Image column to the Image: Image field.

The image_gallery module is supported as well because it works with taxonomy module. This means that you can create image galleries by importing a CSV file like:

Just like with taxonomy terms, you can assign a default image gallery in the options or let Drupal create non-existing image galleries on the fly (select Add non-existing terms to the vocabulary).

Bug fixes

• #149439 : Numeric Taxonomy not functioning. thanks to rhys,
• #148383 : Import node type event is not listed in the wizard; raw data import not working either. (removed "raw input" functionality + made sure all content types are listed),
• implementation of hook_uninstall(),
• fixed wrong link to wizard page.

First release of node_import for 5.x. Thanks a million to sun for porting it!

There may still be some issues remaining. Use with care.

• #121852: Event.inc uses old form_select API which does not work with Drupal 4.7
