Hello folks, I've been struggling for a long time (way too long) to get a data feed imported into CCK nodes. I've attempted a plethora of different strategies, including but not limited to: FeedAPI, Feed Element Mapper, custom parsers, hacking parsers, tweaking mappers, Yahoo! Pipes to create custom feed versions of the original feed, serialized PHP exports, etc. I'm tired of the project, but I have to find a way to get this to work. So, I found a few articles on programmatically creating CCK nodes and I'm hoping to connect with anyone who's had experience doing this with JSON data. There is an XML/RSS version of this feed I need, but it sucks compared to the JSON version, with respect to how much data is in there and how it's formatted. The XML version hides a lot of crucial info into a <summary> element... which I might be able to parse through separately, but RSS feed aggregators just ignore stuff in there. Again, I'd have to make a custom parser to get in there. Here's an article that hits about as close as I've seen yet. I am leaving for a couple days, so I'll try to get something like this working when I get back, but I hoped to hear from anyone who's done the same thing. Information on using JSON data to create nodes is sparse, but this article hits pretty close to the mark: https://secure.prolucid.com/node/43 I had read other posts about doing similar methods using drupal_execute(), et. al, but they all talk only about XML as data source. I haven't found anything talking about JSON or (un)serialized PHP sources. What I really need to do is do an initial import of the JSON feed into my CCK node (which is a huge feed of 6,200+ items). After that, I want to check the feed every day for changes and create new daily nodes accordingly -- which is why FeedAPI really seemed like the ticket, aside from my massive struggles with making my own parser. For now, I'd be happy with a PHP script that I could call daily with cron. Thanks for any feedback... sorry for the long post. Part rant, part plea. :) Cheers, Paul Hoza
