I'm trying to import a set of pages defined by a cck node type. Looking at the xslt code the way to do this appeared to be by changing the node type which I changed to

However the node type created was still "Page" and I see that this is also the case in the original code in html2drupal.xslt despite the fact that it says that it is creating a node of type "story".

It may be I am misunderstanding the way of doing it, but the facility appears not to be working.

(I've attached files.)

CCK support was highly experimental at the 4.7 time, as indeed was CCK itself.

Checking the code we see:

// TODO set import content type to something other than 'page'

dirty patch for you would be adjust _import_html_process_html_page() where it goes

      $node = new StdClass();
      $node->uid = $user->uid;
      $node->name = $user->name;
      $node->type = "page";

But I doubt the actual imports will get into the right fields, as that code isn't there. Docs or discussions you may have found RE CCK support apply to later releases. :-(

You'll only get the 'body' and some meta-structure. Your transformed document looks exactly right ... for a version 5 import ... but 4.7 won't capture your isbn etc sorry.

There was a lot of learning involved in getting CCK field definitions to play right. Back in Oct 2006, it was still undocumented. This would be a horrid backport to try.
Upgrade.
