I have a potential client who has a forum with data stored in XML. Is there any help in the form of a module to import this data into Drupal? -- /Kindest regards,/ *Dayton Perkins* Good News Design Intelligent Web Programming for Business 3611 Butternut Drive, Suite 40 Holland MI 49424 616-399-5617 http://goodnewsdesign.com Signature <http://goodnewsdesign.com>
You can try node_import. On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Dayton Perkins <perkinsd@chartermi.net>wrote:

Hi Dayton, We've had some success with the Feeds (http://drupal.org/project/feeds) module and the Feeds XPath Parser (http://drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser) module. Its all pretty much bleeding edge, so don't expect it all to work without a hitch, but we're currently importing an XML feed from a Microsoft system into events on a Drupal site without too many issues.

I would recommend you Feeds as well, beware of the fact that with consequent files, it can be easily break your memory limit and max execution time, even when batching, when dealing with huge XML files. However, the module maintainer is actually working on that part and I believe this is still a good solution. Pierre.
I recently wrote up a post about my experience with getting XML data into Drupal nodes using Migrate: http://sysadminsjourney.com/content/2010/07/14/case-study-migrating-xml-drup... I cannot speak about Feeds, since I haven't used it, but my initial impression was that Migrate was more geared for one-time imports and migrations; where Feeds is more suited for recurring imports. I'd love to hear about someone's compare/contrast experience on both. Justin
