Trying to import from an XML feed using Feeds Importer XPath XML. I have had an import working from this same feed before but with uniqueness based on a title field which is no longer apropriate.

I'm trying to alter the import so that I now use a guid. The problem is that the ID I need to use is only located within the top level element where the context starts.

XML looks like:

<vacancies>
  <vacancy id="111427">
    <uri>https://data.ox.ac.uk/id/vacancy/111427</uri>
    <url>https://data.ox.ac.uk/doc/vacancy/111427</url>
    <webpage>https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit...</webpage>

    <closes>2014-02-17T12:00:00+00:00</closes>
    ...

My context is /vacancies/vacancy and I am mapping my guid to @id which I think is the correct syntax.

The import doesn't work correctly, I get no nodes and no errors. What am I doing wrong (if anything)? There is nothing I can do about the XML schema incidentally, if that is where the problem is.

  • Have you gone through the issue queue? We have had trouble with this module, and have had to use some of the patches from the queue. – mpdonadio♦ Feb 14 '14 at 17:27

I just did a quick test of this, with your sample data, and it works correctly.

In the debug options you can enable error reporting, as well as, show the outputs of various queries.

  • OK, what was the syntax you used for the context and the guid mapping where it worked? – Paul Barrett Feb 20 '14 at 14:24
  • I've abandoned the XML approach and tried with a JSON version of the same feed... which has let to a new issue... – Paul Barrett Feb 21 '14 at 11:04
