Steps for creating content with CSV files by using feeds:
We can create as many Feeds importer configurations as we need to. Here are a couple of things that are important to understand in order to get started with Feeds:
You can use MS Excel to create a CSV file.
The first row will be the headers that will describe the content. The other rows in the CSV file will be the content for the nodes.
For example, we can have a CSV file that looks like this:
Note: The headers must match your Mapping fields
Fetcher: Choose file upload. (Settings – leave the allowed file extensions txt, csv, tsv, xml & opml)
Parser: Select CSV parser. (Settings – leave the comma as default field delimiter)
Processor: leave as node processor. - (Settings:
choose update existing nodes
choose a text format
choose a content type
Expire Nodes – never)
Mapping: Your CSV column headers must match to the fields in your content type. The column header that you import must be added to the page.
Click Save and your feeds will be imported as nodes.
