Noob to Drupal here. I'm looking to import 100 xml files into an empty D7 database. Each xml file contains links to other xml and image files. I have Feeds, Xpath Parser, and Tamper modules installed.
Drupal Content type = Article Fields (machine name):
- unique_xml_id (Text)
- body (Long text and summary) -> settings "Number of values" = "Unlimited"
- field_images (Image) settings "Number of values" = "Unlimited"
Here's the xml. Every xml file has a unique id by combining pid and gid.
<testContent pid="5" gid="000007">
<textContent title="Title 1" ordinal="0">His car</textContent>
<textContent title="Title 2" ordinal="1">Our car</textContent>
<textContent title="Title 3" ordinal="2">
This is my <textLink linkType="int" pid="5" gid="000014">car</textLink> -> link to xml
</textContent>
<visualHeader title="Images">
<visualContent mid="1057" alt="Radiator" type ="thumb"> -> image url, ex: img/1057.jpg
<visualLink pid="6" gid="001057"</visualLink> -> link to other xml file with parent img
</visualContent>
<visualContent mid="1092" alt="Wipers" type="thumb"> -> image url, ex: img/1092.jpg
<visualLink pid="6" gid="001092"</visualLink> -> link to other xml file with parent img
</visualContent>
</visualHeader>
</testContent>
OBJECTIVES:
- Map the concatenation of the xml attributes "pid" and "gid" to field "uniquexmlid" and make this check for uniqueness
- Map textContent elements to body field values (array?), example: body[0] = "His car" body[1] = "Our car" body[2] = "This is my car" (car is link to other node that does not exist yet in database)
- Map "car" link to url of other node (not yet created from xml file) with path alias inside body[2] field
How do I accomplish these? I'm open to suggestions of other ways of setting up the fields in Drupal.
