Migrate Location module content from Drupal 6

Last updated on

You are browsing documentation for an older version of Drupal, which is not supported any longer, and the information may not be correct. See current documentation for Contributed modules

To migrate from Location 6.x-3.x to Addressfield 7.x-1.x in Drupal 7 you must create a custom class since the location module data is not stored in CCK. The location and location_instance tables must be manually added by implementing the query method. As of Addressfield 7.x-1.x and Migrate 7.x-2.5 the address subfields (e.g., "field_address:administrative_area") are not available so the location columns must be mapped as arguments to the address field country mapping, and then hidden.

class VenueMigration extends DrupalNode6Migration {
  public function __construct(array $arguments) {
    parent::__construct($arguments);

    // Map address field
    $address_arguments = array(
      'administrative_area' => array('source_field' => 'province'),
      'locality' => array('source_field' => 'city'),

      'postal_code' => array('source_field' => 'postal_code'),
    );
    $this->addFieldMapping('field_address', 'country')
         ->arguments($address_arguments);

    // Hide these sources because they are added as arguments
    $unmapped_sources = array(
      'province',
      'city',
      'street',
      'additional',
      'postal_code',
    );
    $this->addUnmigratedSources($unmapped_sources, t('DNM'));
  }

  protected function query() {
    $query = parent::query();

    // Join location table, which is not CCK
    $query->join('location_instance', 'i', 'i.nid = n.nid AND i.vid = n.vid');
    $query->join('location', 'l', 'l.lid = i.lid');
    $query->fields('l', array('street', 'additional', 'city', 'province', 'postal_code', 'country'));

    return $query;
  }
