Feeds import from Restful Web Service module output
Question
I have a D7 website, which expose a node through the module Restful Web Service
https://www.drupal.org/project/restws
It does exposed my website node in Json format. The only issue I have, is the photo field, which has multiple images but JSON output from RESTWS is only expose the photo file id
, not the file name.
My question, is there're plugin for the Feeds module that I can use to convert the file ID to a file name, so the feed can import that. Or is there other way that I can use to directly import the file fid to Drupal.
Here's a little info about my website: The user can list their content on bronze plan content type
, and then they decide to upgrade to silver content type
, what I'm doing in the background, is export the bronze content type through Restful Web Service and re-import through feeds to silver content type
.
Solution
I just want to post my plan for everyone to review and response. After days of no response, it does mean I'm having a crazy idea.
I've re-think my solution and came up with writing my own custom module to do the data copy from one content type to another. It was easy than I expected. Copy of data from one content type to another is very easy if the both field type are the same. It's a straight assign of field from one node object to another content type object. That's it.
