Hello Friends,

I want to implement my custom feed mapper to create books using feed api mapper module ( http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_mapper ).

While creating mapper ( http://developmentseed.org/blog/2008/jan/24/build-your-own-mapper-feed-e... ) to map bid,plid,mlid, weight and depth i realised that we can not use fields bid, plid and mlid for mapping because these fields are dynamic ( like nid, we can not map nid field).
Since mlid is nothing but menu link Id and plid is parent link id , these fields are created while creating node and these ( mild and plid ) do not required for mapping since it will create automatically if we specify bid (ie book id).

Problem is that, bid ( bid is nothing but nid for book node) will not be same on both site...please anyone can suggest me how to do this.

Hi,
I am ready to develop it.
But just one think I am not getting that is, for importing book pages I need bid ( $node->book[bid] ) , since bid is nothing but node id of first book page, so first node within book pages is noting but a book with bid is self node id (ie $node->book[bid] = $node->nid ).
Node ids will not be same on other site , so how do I manage this?
Please let me know if you have any idea or suggestion.

Thanks,
Raj

While importing the book structure you could use a matching array between parent-nids and child-nids.
In that way you could rebuild the structure array on the child site.

What do you think?
