Feed Import is working great for importing a single XLS, but results in the import button on the importer page changing to "Importing (50%)" or whatever percent:

  • Importing more than one XLS Workbook (with a single spreadsheet in each) in a folder
  • Importing a single XLS Workbook (with multiple spreadsheets in it)

It has the same 'stall' whether I point Feed Import to pull from a server folder location automatically, or if I just manually browse and import the file directly.

I'm not getting any log messages in Reports --> Recent Log Messages or Reports -->Feeds Log.

In settings, I added $conf['feeds_process_limit'] = 2000 based on feedback from a somewhat similar problem in feeds. But that didn't help.

It appears that in these instances, it's bringing in all the data from the first spreadsheet of the first workbook, but then nothing else. I've got the spreadsheets set to UTF-8 encoding (which is important since some of the words are in German and have umlauts).

Any advice on what else I could try, or a secret backdoor log I could review that might shed light on why it's hanging?

This module is Feed Import. You are talking about other module.

This exact same behavior also happens with my test CSV files (converted the XLS's to CSV) , so not specific to Feeds XLS (which is the 'other module' you referenced.

So again, any advice on what else I could try, or a secret backdoor log I could review that might shed light on why it's hanging?

Again, overall it's a terrific module and I use it for many applications. I'm just hoping to avoid creating 10 different cloned importers to auto-pull each of the 10 spreadsheets I need to import. :)

Ah, it all makes sense now. Shifting question to Feeds Import. Sorry for the trouble!
