Simple Node Importer is a module which imports content entity using a CSV file.
Currently, the module is available in both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 versions.
Previously in Drupal 7, Simple Node Importer module supports "Node" entity only.
With Drupal 8 release, Simple Node importer is more advanced now and support "Node", "Users" & "Taxonomy" entity imports as well.
Synopsis
Simple Node Importer allows an end user to import content for nodes, users and taxonomies (with Drupal 8 release) using CSV files in a Drupal website.
Simple Node Importer module provides a Flexible Mapping UI screen from where end-user can map uploaded CSV file columns to their respective entity field which makes importing of content to a specific entity type is easy and fun without having knowledge of development.
Features are listed below:
- Module Configuration page allows admin user to restrict or allow specific entity type for which import functionality will be available.
- Module Configuration page also provides an option to the admin user to allow whether a user can be created or consider admin/current user as an author for nodes that are importing.
- Module Configuration page is also providing an option to the admin user to add non-existing taxonomy terms under vocabulary while importing a content.
- Module provides Flexible Mapping UI screen where user can map accordingly.
- Module allows multi valued field importing.
- Module is implemented for all the core fields, Term reference and Email field supported in Drupal 8.
- Module provides a UI for the failure records (Resolution Center) where user get support for the followings:
- Can review specific row.
- Can able to download failed rows, correct them and re-import the CSV file.
- Can able to edit the rows and fix them on the go and save.
Requirements
Module supports all the Drupal 7 & Drupal 8 core fields, Term reference & E-mail field.
Roadmap
With Drupal 8 release, Simple Node Importer provides feature of importing entity type like "Node", "Users" & "Taxonomies" with Resolution Center with "Edit & Save" fetaure.
We are happy to say that we have reduced the list of the roadmap from the previous release but still have few.
Features we are looking forward to providing future are:
- Support to update existing imported items.
- Additional options to get data like FTP, XML, JSON along with CSV file.
- Support to set cron for importing.
- Support with web services.
