This month I (@hectoriribarne (http://iribarne.com) talked about using the Migrate module (version 2.6) to automate the content creation process on a Drupal 7 site. The presentation (with lots of screenshots) and demo covered the following:

• Creating a local blank D7.34 site
• Adding base configuration for Migrate 2.6
• Explaining the approach creating content (Articles and Pages) from CSV files with custom migration modules ( i.e. migr8csv2article & migr8csv2page) and Migrate 2.6 via the Migrate UI
• Migration topics covered: Import, Rollback, Registration, incremental import, sources, destinations, mappings, etc.
• Walkthrough of the code for migr8csv2article custom module

The slides, code and CSV files for the presentation can be found here: http://browarddrupal.org/PastMeetings/january-2015

We had three remote participants via Skype/Join.me and five in the meeting room.
