I am moving a webiste that uses a custom CMS to Drupal. The webiste has 1600 content items. these content items have a range of fields associated with them, some of which match up with my main drupal content type. I have converted "story" to a new module called "posting" which has the exact same structure.

On the old system each item has a date. I'm trying to bring the old content in using node_import. I see where I can designate the field matching for title and body, and I see options for taxonomy term selection. How do I import date?

It also looks like I need to import only items with the same term configuration. I have four vocabularies with multiple terms. For example, A posting may be a "news release" on a specific "issue" relevant to a particular "group" with members in a specific "area". As you can see, the permutations and combinations of my taxonomy approach are large. can I import items with multiple taxonomy configurations, or only items with matching taxonomy configurations?

Thanks for any insight.

Also, if there is anyone with experience in this area looking for work, please contact me.

Thanks
