RSS & Aggregation
Working on the improvement of the RSS/ATOM aggregation provided by Drupal.
problems with using feed importer
Hi,
I used feed importer before but somehow I am not able to replicate what I did. I created two nodes, one for the source of the feed and one node to hold the content of the feed. I remember creating a node source and inputting a url link to the feed in one of the options. Then I used feed importer and base on the source node, it pulled in feeds and created the content node.

Keeping a library of feed contents
Is it possible to create a library of old feed content without deleting any of them. I want my feeds to always stay on my site and not get deleted by the Feed Aggregator. In admin/content/aggregator/settings, under the title Discard items older than:, there is no option to not discard any feed item. Is it possible to keep all my old feeds after each cron job run at all times?
XPath-based parser for core aggregator
Imagine if the core RSS/ATOM/whatever parser would be robust and solid in Drupal core, even it could serve 3rd party modules like Feeds.
I have a concept of relying on an associative array, full of XPath expressions what a smart piece of code could use directly for building the final $feed object. The high level goal of this new parser would be the following: maintainence on the parser would mean mainly maintaining this array, nothing more.
Also XPath seems to be more future proof solution for parsing compared to what we have in core now.
Aggregrate Yahoo! Weather RSS
Information on the Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed is available at http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/.
In the text, they describe that we can get current weather by RSS using the following feed syntax:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265
where 2502265 is the location for the weather forecast as a WOEID.
Option: open feed item in target=_blank
Hi guys!
One of my non-developer crew member responsible for pr has asked: "Gregory, feeds from affiliated sites are pretty cool. But is there a way to not escape from page, where feed was clicked?".
So, I was looking for some setup for this, like
[x] Open feeds in new window
I couldn't find it.
First thought: add target=_blank in aggregator-item.tpl.php or wherever link is being prepared.
But don't you think, that this functionality should be added to configuration?
introduce a high performance free hosting (for drupal)--sae---a GAE like China project , i just finished deploy drupal 6 there
ok , example first to prove that i am telling the truth : http://trackself.sinaapp.com/ just feel its speed!
[background:]
1.SAE: sina app engine , belong to sina.com (China), it's a service like google app engine ,but provide PHP hosting and mysql hosting and more! well , i think it's better than GAE, because i only know php but not python/java. It declare itself cloud service. And better than GAE, it use SVN.
2.Since it offer php and mysql hosting , drupal can be hosted. But a little hack to install.php , nothing more hack
Import a list of RSS feeds categorised with taxonomy
Hi,
Not sure it's possible with the feeds's UI to do that. But it's what i need to do !!
Things i can do, separately:
- With feeds module i can import and do mapping with a CSV file everything i want like taxonomy.
- I can also import some RSS feeds, with a taxonomy, one by one, thru the UI.
What i'm searching so hard: do both things together.
I explain:
- I use this type of CSV file:
URL,Title,Taxo1,Taxo2
url1,1rs feed title, category1,type1
url2,2nd feed title, category2,category2
url3,13rd feed title, category2,type1
Import <category> feeds field RSS
Hi! First of all I am newbie in Drupal.
I use Aggregator module to import rss feeds to my page. Everything works all right. The question is: can I use the field that comes in the rss xml? I need to categorize the feeds using that field and I don't know how to do it. Maybe I'm missing something in that module.. Probably using Feeds would be better.. but I've notice both are keeping other normal fields in database as tittle, description, url..
Please anyone could help me? have I got to develope a new module?
Cheers!
Create podcast and audiobook collection
Hi,
I am planning a Drupal 7 site that will deliver podcasts and audiobooks. After reviewing the modules available for D7 to create RSS and specifically podcast feeds I have arrived in a state of confusion.
It seems that the recommended modules, i.e. FFPC are not available for D7 and are not currently under development.
Extracting entire articles
When I use aggregator, I am not able to pull the full article. I am only shown a teaser of the article. Here is an example of what I mean. http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/politics. If I click on the links to the article the full article with the image shows up. Is there anyway I can pull the full articles?
Extract an image from a RSS feed
Hi,
I am trying to create a view that shows only the title and an image of an RSS feed. I'm trying to make something similar to Linkedin's RSS feed block on the homepage. I am currently using feeds api mapper. There is no source for just the image. I found another module called feeds. I'm not sure if that has a method to solve the problem I am asking. If programming is needed, I am not sure where to start. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Federated Social Web Summit 2011
I would like to invite you to join us for the upcoming Federated Social Web Summit 2011 - June 3-5 20 in Berlin
http://d-cent.org/fsw2011/
Goals and Scope: This workshop intends to bring together communities building federated social networking code-bases with those involved in privacy and identity. It will be the second conference, following up on the original Federated Social Web Summit in Portland in 2010, but now with a focus on privacy protection in the social web and the cloud. As it is a W3C Workshop, it will have one day for position papers and discussion. To continue the tradition of the Federated Social Web Summit in Portland in 2010 and attract more developers, the summit will also have a open-space, including opportunities for collaborative coding and open talks, for an entire day. [*]
And also consider joining W3C Federated Social Web Incubator Group (soon changing into community group)

How to aggregate the full story when you only get a teaser
I'm building a news analysis system and I might be using Feeds and Open Calais. The problem I have is that many RSS feeds only publish a title or a teaser but we need the full article. There are many plugins available for feeds but so far I haven't seen any that can do that. Has anyone found a solution to grab the full story out of an RSS feed that only publishes a part of it?
Feeds w/ constant values
I have about 20 unique feeds currently running on my site. I would love the ability to map the feed name into a CCK field so I know the node source. It does not appear this is possible. Would this be a wanted feature in the future? The only solution I currently see is to create a unique content type for each feed. Any other ways to solve my problem???
Wiredrive and mRSS
I have a potential project on the horizon which would be built around Wiredrive (http://www.wiredrive.com) an online media library for film, tv and video production. The service provides mRSS feeds of videos for external consumption into websites.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience working either with Wiredrive or mRSS? I assume hooking an mRSS feed up to something like flowplayer should be pretty straight forward.
Migrating from core aggregator to feeds module
Hi all. I have a website that has been aggregating feeds for almost three years with the core aggregator module. I am thinking of using the more versatile feeds module (that I have been using successfully in other websites) but could not find a simple manner to import all my legacy entries. Is there such a thing? Thanks a lot.
Newbie needs help with RSS
I am trying to import a single feed into my drupal site and have it display full content as "story" on multiple pages based on keywords.
I initially tried aggregator, and was not happy with just a headline listing.
I then installed feeds and could not figure out how to filter it.
I then installed feeds api and feeds api filter, and lo and behold a keyword filtering frame popped up.
I then systematically disabled them all to see what controlled what.
Import/ update nodes from multiple sources.
Hi,
I am using feeds module to import nodes from the xml feed, i want to import some details from one xml and update few details from other xml.
In both xml sources they have a unique id and i had set up that id as the GUID in both the importer.
More info about this at : http://drupal.org/node/828000#comment-3156670
Can anyone help how to achieve this?
Feedapi - get parent feed node cck field value while parsing
I'd like to use the value from a cck field in the parent feed node to append the guid.
For example: cck field in parent feed = abc / guid in xml file is 123 ==> when parsed I'd like the guid in the database to be abc-123.
How do I get the data from the cck field of the parent node? Performance consequence? I'm assuming this is done at the time of parsing (I'm using a custom parser).
currently the guid is as follows:
@ $normalized->items[$key]->options->guid = (string) $item->guid;
