Import and export

Allows the fine Backup and Migrate module to backup to Rackspace Cloud Files (Rackspace's alternative to Amazon S3).

This is very useful you host your site on Rackspace Cloud instead of Amazon EC2, because (1) it will be faster and (2) you won't be charged for bandwidth between your server and Cloud Files.

Installation

1. Download and place the 'backup_migrate_cloudfiles' module into your sites/all/modules directory
2. Download the Cloud Files PHP API from Rackspace's account on GitHub:
   • Go to https://github.com/rackspace/php-cloudfiles
   • Click "Downloads" and select .tar.gz or .zip (which ever you know how to extract!)
   • Save to disk!
3. Extract the file you download into sites/all/libraries and rename the directory: "cloudfiles"
4. Enable the 'backup_migrate_cloudfiles' module in your Drupal installing, either:
   • Go to http://YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE/admin/build/modules, or
   • via drush: drush en backup_migrate_cloudfiles

This feature will parse the Cablegate CSV and import it into Drupal nodes.

This module provides the functionality to export and import content in an XML format.

This module is an extension to the Print module.

This is a parser plugin for Feeds that uses the SimpleHTMLDOM library to extract elements from HTML documents. It can be used to building screen scraping functionality with Feeds, and for automatically importing items from websites that do not support RSS.

Installation

Download the module and extract into your sites module folder. You will also need the Feeds module, and it's dependencies. Enable the module.

Create a new Feed importer. You probably want to use the HTTP fetcher to download the web page. Change the feed configuration to use SimpleHTMLDOM as the parser, then configure the extractions you wish to make from the page (see docs). You then probably want to use the Node Mapper to map these items onto nodes/fields.

Documentation

Full documentation doesn't exist yet, but there's a usage example on my website.

You can read more about the syntax used in the configuration on the SimpleHTMLDOM website.
