Pascal Specht	Friday 22 August 2008 1:11:00 am Hi Robert, there are extensions that can help you getting started with batch import, I'm thinking of these two in particular: http://ez.no/developer/contribs/import_export/data_import http://ez.no/developer/contribs/import_export/xmlimport the second one is easier to use than the first one, in my opinion. </Pascal>

Pascal Specht	Friday 05 September 2008 4:52:04 am Hi Andrew, unfortunately, I can't tell, as I haven't tried this on 4.x: our sites are all at 3.9.x. I'm using the http://ez.no/developer/contribs/import_export/xmlimport one. As it is not much complicated to install or uninstall, I would suggest you give it a try or look at its dedicated forum thread to dig further. </Pascal>
