Using Drupal 7.22, Feeds 7.x-2.0-alpha8 and Feeds SQL 7.x-1.0+1-dev:
I am using Feeds SQL to import users from an external mySQL database. I want to import the (external) URL of images of users into an image field that I have added to user accounts. (Not their profile image - just an arbitrary image field).
Using the Media File selector widget type on an image field, I am able to enter the image URL by hand and the image is downloaded to the directory specified in the field settings and displays with no problem. Uploading a CSV and mapping the to the image field also works without issue.
However, when I map the URL field to the image field in the feeds SQL importer, nothing is transferred. I would like to do this through the SQL fetcher/parser so that the import can happen routinely as new users are imported when new staff are added to the external database.
I'm using the same query to generate the CSV that I am using to populate the mapping the the Feeds SQL importer.
