Hi,
Since webform results are now view-supporting: http://drupal.org/node/273837, right?
Would it then be possible to build nodes from the webform-results through using the feeds-view building method? And then loading this feed through feedapi could build nodes from it?
Please any help to get this done very much appreciated.
Would be great if through the views-integration the webform-results could be build to nodes!
Greetings,
Martijn

Webform "submissions" now provide Views support, meaning you can create lists of the submissions. However the *result* (the contents of the submissions) do not support Views yet, so you can't actually list any of the results in Views. Regardless, making nodes from Webform results sounds like terribly convoluted a way to make nodes and would certainly end up creating redundant data in two places in the same website. So I wouldn't recommend this approach even it were possible.

Hi Nathan,
My goal is having the webform output put into nodes, because webform has great posibilities to make nice forms, but no good possibilities to use the node-system with this output.
Any other solution to get to this goal would be great off course.

Webform is not meant to create nodes, that's about all I have to say on that. If you're trying to create nodes from Webform submissions, the approach is all backwards. Instead you should be theming your node forms or improving CCK to make it easier to use.

OK, I got it, I will look into a cck solution then, it would be so great if submissions could be nodes, but I understand this is different Architecture. Thanks for your update! Greetings, Martijn
