I am using the feeds module to pull in NYT bestsellers. using the xpath parser also as it is an xml feed.
I created my content types and got everything set up, and it seemed to work fine at first. But as I was playing around with it, I ended up deleting my importer at one point and remaking it. when I did so, I mapped many of the same elements, but in a different order.
I created my a feed for the fiction, everything works.
But then I went to create another feed using the nonfiction URL, and for that feed the elements are mapping to the wrong fields. But I'm using the same importer... it seems to be "remembering" the order of the mapped fields from one of the importers I had set up previously.
Here is an example of the feed:
<book>
<list_name>Hardcover Nonfiction</list_name>
<display_name>Hardcover Nonfiction</display_name>
<updated>WEEKLY</updated>
<bestsellers_date>2012-10-20</bestsellers_date>
<published_date>2012-11-04</published_date>
<rank>18</rank>
<rank_last_week>0</rank_last_week>
<weeks_on_list>0</weeks_on_list>
<asterisk>0</asterisk>
<dagger>0</dagger>
<isbns>
<isbn>
<isbn10>0679644318</isbn10>
<isbn13>9780679644316</isbn13>
</isbn>

<book_review_link/>

<sunday_review_link/>
<article_chapter_link/>

</book>but in the nonfiction feed type, the author is mapped to the title field, the description to the author field, and the isbn to the dexcription field. some fields are blank, and other fields, like the list name, is displaying the weeks on list.
Again, for the fiction feed I set up everything is fine, and both feeds are using the same importer.
