hate to be a wanker.. but since this is a pretty huge thread and a mighty useful one, does any of the participants in this thread that have actually walked through this process feel like documenting an actual import case with a mock set of data. i know it would save me a lot of time as well as many others in the near future. so it's going to be a total volunteer effort by whoever does it if they decide to.

posters here are using real data in real life backend situations that we in the forum's don't see. lyle understand's the questions they ask because he designed the import module. that leaves me and maybe other's trying to visualize what they're "really" talking about. how to get from A (my data) to Z (imported and mapped correctly in a working uc).

It doesn't have to be a thesis. But a numbered list of steps that maps a sample product record with images would be fantabulous. An occasional "gotcha" or "be careful" note would seal the deal.

thanks for any takers on this one.
