As most of you know we are updating Denver Open Media's site this month with the changes made to the modules for BAVC. Some of these changes require newer versions of other modules than what DOM has been running. This morning I updated Date, CCK, FeedAPI, and Feed Element Mapper (feedapi_mapper). Because we also moved the site to a new server, I was able to test this first without causing a problem on the live server.
This is the process I used...
- Updated Date
- Ran update.php
- Updated CCK
- Ran update.php
- FeedAPI
- Feedapi_mapper
- Ran update.php
- At this point you see the new Feed Element Mapper UI, but it doesn't work.
- disable mapper
- uninstall mapper
- reinstall mapper
At this point I had to manually remap the Feeds to each existing Feed. In the past this could be done on the content type, but now the additional items in the RSS feed don't show up to be mapped. For the record, this is what our mappings between the Princeton feed and om_airing content type look like...

I'm also updating om_broadcast_sync to include the new om_airing_pid nodereference field that both Davis and Denver are using to link airings to shows in Views. Darrick is updating this field with his implementation of the Cablecast. I've included a cron process in om_broadcast_sync that tries to update the field by matching the MPEG file name in the feed to an existing om_show node.
