I would love to see a module do this. I often have a need for something like this. It would be great if it could use data created by other Content types also. On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 8:22 AM, Pushyamitra Navare <pushyamitra@gmail.com>wrote:
Hello all,
I need a module which will create CCK nodes according to structure of an existing database table.
More specifically, the idea is following:
I have a few tables containing some data. I would like to represent them as Drupal content so that it becomes easier to add/modify/delete the entries. 1. So I am planning to create a new "content type" for each table looking at its columns. ( For e.g. if a database table called "db_table" contains columns called "column1", "column2", "column3", then I wish to create a new content type called say "db_table_node" with members as textfields called "column1", "column2" and "column3". )
2. I am planning to import data in that table into drupal as nodes.
I was not able to find any module to do this (I'm using D6). Seems like no choice but to write a new module for this. All suggestion welcome!
