I tried my best to find an answer, but now I am finally stuck.

I am using Drupal 7.36, Feeds 7.x-2.0-alpha8 and used already 7.x-2.x-dev.

I am trying to import a XML file using the Feeds module with a simple structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <persons>
    <person>
      <number><p>12</p></number>
    </person>
    <person>
      <number><ul><li>2</li></ul></number>
    </person>
</persons>

But all I get after the import is the plain text 12 without any HTML tags.

I created a custom Content type named Persons and added one field to it, which accepts as text processing 'filtered text'.

For this purpose I checked, that my filtered text is accepting p, li and ul tags. For that I edited all relevant text formats at: admin/config/content/formats

Anyway, after for the purpose of solving this issue I do actually just use Full HTML now, without any restrictions. If I type in HTML manually into a Person content entity the HTML tag stays there properly.

In the Feeds module I added an importer and chose under Processor (in my case node processor) 'texte-format' Full HTML. Here I added as a bundle my Person content type.

As parser I use XPath XML parser.

Fetcher is File-Upload.

The importer is properly attached to Persons content type under basic settings.

Anyway, always, when I import my XML, it strips off the HTML tags.

I do not use any WYSIWYG module.

What am I doing wrong?

I would suggest that you switch to QueryPath XML parser (you need Feeds extensible parsers and QueryPath) which supports RAW input which should solve your issue.

  • Thank you so much! You saved my day. Indeed the combination of the two plugins solve this issue. To just get the HTML tags, you just need to check 'raw' and 'inner XML'. After that, importing html in xml tags works perfectly smooth.

I appears to me that the issue you are trying to resolve, might be related to the issue described in issue # 2224643 (on D.O).

If that's the case, then you might want to try the commit mentioned in #22 in that issue (or the patch attached to #20 there).

  • Hi Pierre, thanks for your advice. Unfortunately it is not solving the problem. After installing the patches and choosing the per field format rightly to full HTML or any other HTML, which allows the proper tags, the tags still got chopped off. This is really strange, maybe the problem starts already, when the XML file is read and handed to feeds? I am really out of ideas ...
