I need some advice with the following situation:

I have a content type called: "Flats".

I have to add 1000 nodes for this content type.

The only field I need to complete for all of them is the 'title'

I have the 1000 titles in a comma-separated-value format file called: title.csv

Is there any way to upload this file and add all the nodes in just one step.

Thanks

Feeds module will also allow you to import content/create nodes via CSV.

  • Feeds can use this ID as an externally supplied unique ID that it recognizes so that it can updated the nodes it creates based on this ID.

  • ok, then it could be arbitrary? Let's say 'my guid' or '1234'

    yes is is arbitrary, as long as it is unique to that 'flat'. If you will never need to re-import that 1,000 nodes again, it is optional.

If it's sample data, you can use the Devel module. If you want to import data that is in some file or db you can use node_save(). If the data is exported from another Drupal installation, you can use the Node Import module.

  • I need to importa node from csv file. The right module is Feeds module but its documentations is really poor. Found a screencast but for d6.

You can try Node Import that supports CSV files
