I need to import a fair amount of content into this Ubercart store I've been working on. Ideally, 10-12k images, with a description, as well as a few attributes and options for each item.

Could I pick your brain for a few suggestions of how I'd be able to achieve this?

I'll buy you a beer.

CSV, loads of effort and cursing, trial and error and finally while pulling your hair out, you finally manage to use the Node Import module succesfully and you're all set :)

It's gonna be quite a ride, but I think a CSV import in a certain content type will be your best bet.

This confirms the worst...CSV: We go waaay back....

Yes- I've explored that option. *sigh*......There isn't an easier way is there?

I suppose that it'll be a while before such a utility released to the community. There are so many variables, namely module conflicts, involved with this process.

I have a few hairs left, so I guess I'll explore the links in the comment above.

It's been so long so I hope you've fixed this. Anyway if you're still interested I have something to share here:
http://obwiki.net/drupal%E2%80%99s-ubercart-how-do-bulk-import-products-...

I've gone through the same situation, struggled and managed to get the product images setup in ubercart. I did not need attributes/options so that part is missing..

Kosmik, the link you gave is broken. How did you solve the Bulk product import issue?

Thanks!

One solution is to add the feeds module (and its dependencies) to your drupal installation. Then add the user-contributed uc_feeds module. You should then see new targets in the mappings part of the feeds module for various key ubercart product attributes (including code, description, image and price). Then just create your csv file and upload.

However, the published version is only for drupal 6.x . I have a modified version for version 7.x and ubercart 3.x . I found a version on the drupal site that needed only modifications to the sql part. I tried it yesterday and it seemed to work fine. I'd gladly upload it somewhere if anyone would like it. Is there a place that I can upload it on this site to make it easy for everyone?
