<title>Import book into Drupal</title>
</info>
<para>
<application>Publican 3.1</application> has a new functionality which allow user to create and import a book into Drupal. All xml files in a book are transformed into a single CSV file which will later be used to import into Drupal.

<title>How to build a CSV file for Drupal import</title>
</info>
<para>
The CSV File consists of information that tells Drupal how to import the book. Each row in the CSV file represents a html page.
</para>
<para>
Use the <prompt>$</prompt> <command>publican build</command> command to create the CSV file for Drupal import. Before running the command, use the cd command to change into the directory where your book is located. For example, if you have a book call "User_Guide" in your home directory, then run the following command.
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <command>cd User_Guide/</command>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>publican build --langs en-US --formats=drupal-book</command></screen>
</para>
<para>
After running the command, you will see CSV file is created in the <filename>tmp/en-US/drupal-book/</filename> directory.
</para>
<para>
<application>Publican</application> stores all the output files in <filename>/tmp/en-US/drupal-book/</filename> directory. This directory contains the following files:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
CSV file - The naming convention of the file is <filename>$product-$version-$docname-$lang-$edition.csv</filename>

<title>Important — Use version control system</title>
</info>
<para>
After running the <prompt>$</prompt> <command>publican build --langs en-US --formats=drupal-book</command> command, you will notice that the xml files in the <filename>en-US</filename> directory had been changed. This is because <application>Publican</application> added a <parameter>'Conformance'</parameter> attribute for every xml tag that has id. This attribute contains a number which is unique across xml files in the book. If you are using a version control system like <application>git</application> for your xml files, then you need to commit the changes so that the number won't get reset when other users run it. These unique numbers are very important, because they are use as the url path in drupal. Besides, <application>Publican</application> also created a database file name <filename>max_unique_id.db</filename> in the <filename>en-US</filename> directory. This database file is use to track the current maximum unique number in the book, so that <application>Publican</application> can know where you are up to and add a new unique number for your newly created Chapter or Section. Therefore, it is very important to add the database file to the version control and commit it if there is any change. If you add a new section in the xml, don't set the <parameter>'Comformance'</parameter> attribute yourself as that will make the database outdated. Just leave it for <application>publican</application> to set it.

<title>Drupal Import Guide</title>

<para>
Before you can import a book, you need to install a module call <application>'Node Import'</application> in Drupal. This module allows Drupal to import and update content from CSV or TSV files. To install this module, simply go to <link xlink:href="http://drupal.org/sandbox/hyu/1819292" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">drupal site</link> and follow the instructions on the website to download it. Once this is done, then you need to copy the downloaded module to the 'modules' directory on the Drupal server. For example if your Drupal is located in <filename>/var/www/html/drupal/</filename> directory, then you should copy the module to <filename>/var/www/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/</filename> directory. To enable the installed module, login to the Drupal site and go to <guilabel>Administer -> Site building -> Modules </guilabel>. In the Development section, tick the <guibutton>checkbox</guibutton> and click <guibutton>Save configuration</guibutton> button to activate the <application>Node Import</application> Module.
