Comment #1
petarb commentedI'm having exactly the same issue. Previews all look good until the last step with no data in any of them.
Note: I've installed and used this module on several other sites previously. So I don't think it's my process.
I'm going to
1) review the csv file - could be an issue there of course, but I'm doubtful because I can see and map the data correctly in the previous pages
2) uninstall the module and try a previously installed version which I have had proven success with.
Will update in a couple of days. Yay it's the weekend!

petarb commentedSorry, it's been awhile on this one.
There were multiple issues for me, and although I can't be sure whether they are related to the above issue, I think it's worth putting them down here.
1) The CSV file MUST be in UTF-8 format. Although everything looked good for me in another default format, exported from XL, it wasn't until I actually changed the format using TextWrangler (for OSX) that I was able to successfully do a node import. Because it 'half way' did it originally, I didn't realise this was an issue until I investigated the UTF-8 format properly
2) The fields logic must be correct. For example, if you have a field for your node type that you have defined must have content in it, be sure you have content in it! I found it just as easy to make sure that the the field content was listed as optional, even if it was not, and change it later.
Once I sorted out these two issues, I was able to successfully Node Import. Good luck!

Q2U commented+1 on what PetarB says. Also: check your Content Type settings for the Content Type you are trying to import: Node Import seems to be VERY picky about settings. Also: disable the module "Node Form Settings" (if you have it installed). Node Import is VERY fussy about settings: veeerrrrrrryyyy fussy. Keep trying: it will work eventually :-P

sridharpandu commentedI have the same issue. Let me explain what I did and at what point it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
1. Created a CSV file of 9 records using OO Calc. (attached to this post)
2. Clicked Administer|Content Management|import Content. The import content page was displayed
3. Clicked "new import". Clicked "Next" and choose "comic content type" (the content type I created using CCK)
4. Uploaded the CSV file and Clicked "Next"
5. In Step 3 I choose "First row contains column names" and "Comma Separated Values". Clicked "Next".
6. I get a WSOD instead of the "Map File Columns"
The preview in step is shown correctly. I have an image field in the CCK the corresponding field is empty in the CSV file.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance
Best regards
Sridhar
Comment #5
sridharpandu commentedAn addendum to my previous post. I discovered that there were some commas and double quotes in the data and removed them. (I have attached the new file to this post). I still have the same problem.
Subsequently I removed the single quotes as well and still face the same problem.
Comment #6
Corbula commentedJust to let you know, i had to go the long way round and just input all of the data. It turns out a lot of the data wasn't needed any more, but there was still a lot to input.
It seems others have the same problem with this, so keep this issue open.
Comment #7
petarb commentedFYI, if I had an import linked to an image field, the image had to exist in the host file directory, otherwise the import did not run successfully, even when I made this optional in the CCK settings.
Comment #8
itserich commentedWeird problem.
It appeared to import properly, I thought I was watching the nodes as they were created, and attached is the final confirmation page, showing success, I think - this is my first time using the module.
However, there are no new nodes.
I saved in .csv with Open Office, don't have Node Form, so not sure what the problem is. Will look around.
