I did everything as it is stated in docs. I used MS excel created CSV and then save it with notepad to utf8

But here comes the problems

First i have problems with date

from my excel i have dates in this format 1/5/2005 6:38 it is same format as in drupal, in fact in drupal there is a dash between 1/5/2005 - 6:38, is this causing the problems?

Then I have written terms in next row, only term without categories

do I need to write the root category named categories, or just write terms like yoga, meditation...?

Then i have problem with urls. I only wrote urls without the complete site name

for example assana-meditation not like domainname.com/asana-meditation, is that correct

And lastly I have these errors coming up after the import is finished, any help?

Record 1:
warning: Parameter 2 to drupal_retrieve_form() expected to be a reference, value given in D:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\drupal6\sites\all\modules\node_import\node_import.inc on line 1972.

Same problem (node_import.inc on line 1972.) here on step 7 but can go further to step 8 ant there seams that all is ok :/
I have file uploaded to sites\default\files\imports
I think that input format is not important mine is like: atlasy||6|atlasy.html||||2|2|1|0| body goes here ^
custom setting all the steps.
It must be something wrong only with step 7 (preview import).

@ fendet : "* Input error: is not allowed for Categories (not a term or synonym in Categories)." -check import taxonomy there is something wrong in Yours no 4 record I think.

So how to input categories, do you need to put them like this

category >> term

or just

term

Here is my debug from last page, to this error in 1 post. On step 7 error (edited):
warning: Parameter 2 to drupal_retrieve_form() expected to be a reference, value given in [cut]sites\all\modules\node_import\node_import.inc on line 1972.

On step 8 no errors, Final Page says that ale imports done without errors (!?), but no nodes where created !

ps. No problem in 6.x-1.0 all goes ok.

So I still dont understand what is wrong with my excel file?

Is the developer still maintaing this module, because it is great if it would work.

I tried feeds too, similar thing and got error there too ;)

@fender: can you check with the 1.0 release? You'll need to run update.php

OK I tried nondev version

Here are the errors I got

Input error: 1/5/2005 6:38 is not allowed for Authored on (not a date in 05/03/2011 - 01:43 format).
* Input error: 5/26/2005 3:48 is not allowed for Authored on (not a date in 05/03/2011 - 01:43 format).
* The path is already in use.

* Input error: is not allowed for Categories (not a term or synonym in Categories).
* Input error: is not allowed for Categories (not a term or synonym in Categories).
* Input error: 4/19/2005 15:22 is not allowed for Authored on (not a date in 05/03/2011 - 01:43 format).
* Categories field is required.

I am not sure what is going on, but in the line 4 where i got the category error, there is term acupuncture inside and is listed under categories/terms too

I am attaching the file for the first 3 rows
