I have a custom content type (product) containing a title, some text and a file (a pdf file). A lot of products have to be imported to the Drupal CMS. I discovered the plugin "Feeds" which seems to fulfill my requirements.
I managed to import a csv files containing a title and some text.
Now in my csv file I have a column containing a path to all the pdf files (like C:\mypdfs\product1.pdf). How can I manage that those pdf files are imported by Feeds? In "Mapping" configuration I'm not sure what target I have to select for those column which contains the path to a local file.
Using Feeds Tamper module you can manipulate the value of imported data for one target. Here you can build a custom tamper (See How) and use it to process the retrieved value (file path), using file_get_contents to get the file from imported path and file_save_data to save a file in Drupal, getting a field object that you can attach to an entity (this could help).
