Currently, when performing a manual import there is no confirmation message or page before the import begins. It would be great if the creator of an import could have the option of imposing a confirmation step.

Taking the idea a little further, it would be awesome if a checkbox confirmation could be involved, e.g. "I understand the risks....".

Great module!

Are you sure you are talking about Feed Import module?

You're right, I meant Feeds Import (which shares Feeds' issue queue) and not Feed Import. I was in a hurry and arrived at the wrong issue queue when I posted. Sorry about that!

It would be great to have features like below -

  1. Simple confirmation message before import - "Are you sure to import ...?"
  2. Better confirmation message which will say "following items are going to get imported into the site, please confirm to import." followed by list of node titles / term names / user name / token etc.
  3. Advanced confirmation message with above list along with check boxes to select the items to import. Rest will be ignored.

The Feeds Import Preview module partly provides this feature. With that module you can get a preview of the items to import.

The module does not:

  • Enforce you to first preview the import. Previewing is always optional.
  • Allow you to select which items to import.

The "Preview" button currently only works with the standalone import form. There is a patch to also support previewing on feed nodes (when the importer is attached to a content type): #2681627: Support for previewing source when importer is attached to a content type.

There is also the Feeds Review module. When using the processor from that module, items to import will be put on a queue (table "feeds_review_item"). You should then be able to specify which items you want to import to the final destination.
