Impor/Export data as a CSV

By sui_page on 10 Sep 2013 at 02:58 UTC

Can anyone recommend any good import/export modules that will export the data within a 'content type' type as a CSV. Would this be even possible? As some nodes might have images in the body and all the stuff. However I just need to export simple short text fields. I've tried a few including Feeds, Features, Node Export but I couldn't find exactly what I needed.

I used Views Data Export but is there a way to import the an updated CSV file back into Drupal.

Feeds Import

I've had luck with the Feeds module but the only downside is you can't export CSV's

You can use both modules,

You can use both modules, views to create a csv file, feeds to import.

Feeds

Feeds CAN import CSV files... and xml... and opml ... and other types of structured text.

import Multi-value fields with Feeds and Tamper.

If the fields on the content type that you want to import into contain multi-values, you can augment FEEDS Import using the
Tamper module explode feature.

You just need to make sure you create the csv with appropriate delimiters.
Sine I had comma's in my data I delimited the fields with a " | '".

Hope this helps.
