Import

There are a multitude of different import and export modules in existence to handle the complex task of getting data from other systems into Drupal. A wiki page has been created in an attempt to focus the efforts of the module developers and provide a handy guide for users looking to make a decision.

This is an Import API developed to handle enterprise level data imports in Drupal 6. This import API was developed to deal with large data imports from other systems into Drupal. The Import API has been proven against data containing in excess of 1,700,000 rows for pingVision clients.

This module is evolving slowly and with great care. It currently ships with two example modules examples/import_user and examples/import_node. Both examples are fully self contained to work within Drupal and will create dummy content to evaluate imports. The user import utilizes a single profile field while the node import uses a single cck field. Both example modules are highly commented and it is suggested that you read through each to fully understand how the import API works. It is suggested that you begin with the user example and then read through the node example.

More will be coming including a full documentation set.
