Hi All

I am creating a website which has a number of different companies which share the same cck fields in the database. However I would like to know how I can import records from a csv file into the database since they are some shared tables / cells involved. Can this be done?

Please advise.

Regards

Adrian

After quite some time, there is support to import Data from a CSV File and match it to CCK Fields.

hi bennos

Thank you for your prompt reply, I have installed the module, however it does not work for me after I configure the CSV file it shows me the content well laid out in step 3 of 8, but when I proceed to the stage where the content is supposed to be mapped, I get a blank screen (white screen) as though it is timing out.

I tried numerous options but nothing seems to work. I read there was an issue with the Content templates module and so I disabled it, but still then same challenge. Are they other alternatives that you are aware of?

If you care to see the data etc... Just let me know.

Hi,

you can use dbTube.org for a bulk import of Excel data into your database.
It is a little PHP Application.
