Please only use this release with Feeds Beta-9 or higher. If you are using higher than Beta-9 and see buggy behavior, there may have been API changes to Feeds that require an update of this module. Please report a bug in that case.
Changes since DRUPAL-6--1-0-BETA2:
#915882 - Module now works with Feeds-Beta9, latest 6.x release
Feeds Node Multisource allows you to take data from multiple different feeds and import them into the same nodes. The module provides a Feeds processor that allows you to import data into existing nodes that have been created by a "parent" feed.
First beta release of the module. Hopefully there aren't any bad bugs here.
Feeds Node Multisource allows you to take data from multiple different feeds and import them into the same nodes. The module provides a Feeds processor that allows you to import data into existing nodes that have been created by a "parent" feed. A child-parent relationship between feeds is created where the feed with the "Node processor" is the parent and the feeds with the "Node Multisource Processor" are the children. A child feed will never create nodes, it will simply update the nodes that have been created by the parent feed.
To use this module:
1. Install Feeds module and this module according to http://drupal.org/node/70151
2. Create a "parent" feed that uses the regular "Node processor". This feed will be the one actually creating nodes
3. Make sure "Update existing item nodes" is selected in the processor settings under "Update existing items"
4. Create a child feed that uses the "Node Multisource Processor"
5. Under the processor settings, make sure the "Destination content type" is the same as the "Content type" you set in the parent feed processor settings
6. Set up the mappings on the child feed just as you would for a regular "Node processor". Make sure you have set up a unique target that matches a parent feed unique target (This is the only way Feeds will know which node to save to)
