Create a Feeds import to allow easy import of multiple specimens.

I don't trust Feeds entirely to not create duplicates if someone hasn't already QCed duplicates out of the import dataset, but that's something that will have to be dealt with. The Paleobiology Database has a great deal of documentation for QA/QC when importing, so I don't think it's too much to ask for people to do the same for NodakPaleo.

Starting with a small subset of fields to rapidly import Cvancara freshwater mussel specimens I used for various projects.

  • Don't include [nid:12345] when referencing nodes, just use title. No titles should be the same, anyway.
  • Absolute URL copied from other images does not work.
    • Use form sites/default/files/private/specimens/A1202-61.png instead.

Got this working. Leaving open because it is not complete for all fields. Current status at http://nodakpaleo.mattbk.com/node/45967.

Maybe https://www.drupal.org/project/remove_duplicates would help with Feeds in the future.
