feed import on node reference doesn't add language in database

Question

I got a XML import witch imports new nodes, in this nodes there is a node reference field. When I run the import I get the message "does not match an existing node" when I look at the nodes they got the node reference, but when you edit the field is empty.

If you look in the database I see that language stays on UND when I change this and update the database it works but when the import runs again its ruined again.

Any solution?

Answer 1

The issue you have run into looks like it may be identified here: https://www.drupal.org/node/1183440. I walked through this issue queue and was able to get my feed processor to specify the language it was importing. The comment #193 was particularly useful. I'll elaborate on his directions a little bit.

For the record, this patch applies only to the feeds module, but you will need to have Feeds Entity Translation installed as well (which you probably already do).

1. drush dis feeds -y
2. rm -rf feeds - remove feeds directory entirely

3. git-pull the feeds repo and checkout older commit:

   git clone --branch 7.x-2.x http://git.drupal.org/project/feeds.git

   cd feeds

   git checkout 006234fc3cc859e4fec0cb261675577efcf389b8

4. enable all feeds modules that were disabled from step 1:

   drush en feeds, feeds_ui, feeds_tamper, feeds_tamper_ui, feeds_et, feeds_ex -y

5. patch feeds:

   wget https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/feeds-field_translations-1183440-191.patch

   git apply < feeds-field_translations-1183440-191.patch

6. confirm patch by building new feed. you should see a language option under the processor settings.

There is a little bit of work to do on this patch before it can be incorporated in the Feeds trunk, but I'm hopeful it will be in place within a few months.

I turned off the translation on the node reference with entity translation; this fixed the problem for me.
