title: Import images to Drupal 7 using feeds module
body: <p>I have to migrate a custom (non CMS) website to <strong>Drupal 7</strong>. In the current website, some tables have image data that is stored as URL in the db.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the <strong>Feeds</strong> module with the <strong>Feeds Image Grabber</strong> addon, and also the <strong>Media Feeds</strong> plugin without success (for importing data as nodes). </p>
  
  <p><strong>Questions:</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there a way to import images from an (external) URL as 'images' into Drupal <b>from a CSV file</b>, using the Feeds module (or any other tool that allows both text and images import with mapping)?</p></li>
  <li><p>If not, is there a way to import them from Drupal's images library, also by the use of the Feeds module and/or Media Feeds plugins?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have tried importing from CSV either by giving the full external URL path or the public://myimage.jpg path without success.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help on that!</p>
