Hello,

I can't figure out why Node Import doesn't import CSV data to a simple field in a content type. In the preview window, while importing, everything looks OK.
On the other hand, it does import data in Taxonomy fields.

Text with an accent (eg. é or à) is not imported either.

Someone has experience with Node Import?

Thanks for helping.

This is a general forum. For questions about a specific module, you're almost always better off researching the project's issue queue.

http://drupal.org/project/issues/node_import

Two quick answers:

* CCK support in Node Import 6 is experimental
* Your source CSV file must be encoded as UTF-8. Note that MS Excel's UTF-8 support is problematic; try exporting with OpenOffice or another product.
