Bulk Photo Nodes is a module that allows users to upload or import many images at once, and have many individual nodes created, one for each image. Where this module significantly differs from other modules like Bulk Media Upload is that when uploading/importing the images, the user is given the opportunity to edit all of the fields for each individual node, and in a single form.

Node Export Usage

Please see the Node Export settings page at admin/config/content/node_export.

There are several methods to import and export nodes.

This Cookbook shows, how you can avoid to import a user in case of errors in the e-mail address and then to add a notice in the drupal error-log (dblog). It adds this behavior to the module A Wusel Migration (http://drupal.org/node/1285276).

The Data Export Import module can be used to transfer site data between Drupal sites. The module page is at:
Data Export Import module

When we create a pattern (import source), the behaviour will be similar to the one explained previously for quick-run, but constructing a more complex form that allows the users to create some extra metadata. The same idea applies to “Import file” and “Import from URL”, they will return a different form than “Import source”, but the validation and submission (patterns_import_validate() and patterns_import_submit() in the file includes/forms/import.inc) functions are shared between all of them.

The diagram below provides a general overview, and the main functions involved are detailed in the next subsections:

Import source

• The function patterns_editor() of the file includes/editor.inc is called, using "patterns_import_source" as a value for the parameter $form_id.
• The form then will be constructed using drupal_get_form(), that will call the function function patterns_import_source() in the file includes/import.inc.
