Speaker(s):
When an existing site is being rebuilt in Drupal, content often has to be migrated from the old site to the new Drupal site. This can be done using the Feeds module, along with Feeds Xpath Parser and Feeds Tamper, when an XML file of the content can be generated from the existing site. This session will cover the following:
- How to configure Fetcher, Parser, Processor settings for the Feeds importer
- Set Xpath queries, create mappings using Xpath Parser
- How to use Feeds Tamper to alter/clean the content that is being imported, and the various operations that can be performed on the data before its imported into Drupal
