Working on the improvement of the RSS/ATOM aggregation provided by Drupal.
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.
Read moreImport/ 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;Common Syndication Parser vs. SimplePie
I am using feeds module. i was wondering that does simple pie offers any extra features over CSP. I have heard that simple pie has some memory issues but it provides more mapable sources. Can anyone give a insight view or any suggestions.
Read moreNew web 3.0 app built on Drupal and FeedAPI needs your feedback!
Hello all, it's a great day for us today, as it's the first official day of existence of the http://faveeo.com projet outside of the private circle that has been building this site with me.
We just launched a grant proposal at the Knight Foundation News Challenge (http://bit.ly/4mLkOh) and we would really love to have feedback on our proposal from the Web community, and the Drupal community in particular!
Read moreSwitching from FeedAPI to Feeds
Feeds has been in the works since DrupalCon Paris now. With the launch of Managing News it is finally ready to replace FeedAPI/Feed Element Mapper. I have just posted on our blog about the reasons behind refactoring and relaunching FeedAPI as Feeds: Good bye FeedAPI, hello Feeds!

I'm probably overlooking something incredibly simple here, but i tend to over think the simple stuff.
Anywho, I'm trying out a bunch of modules that do rss and aggregation and really like what i'm seein in FeedAPI. I'm trying to simulate what drigg does without actually using drigg, and minus the voting part that drigg does.
Read moreYoutube thumbnails don't show in Aggregator
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if this was discussed already, I couldn't find any posts that answered the following question:
I have created a youtube rss and added it to aggregator. In IE it shows thumbnails of the videos but not on any of my drupal pages.
The feed I use is this one: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos/-/office?client=ytapi-youtube...
Open it in IE and it looks just as it should.

I'm working on creating an aggregator for a custom xml file (not rss). I'll use feedapi and feed element mapper. Please explain the advantages/disadvantages of feedapi_node versus feedapi_data.
Read moreLocatio mapper feedapi georss for ckk
I have been looking into the location mapper for the feedapi.
My rss feeds are provided by a affiliate-datafeeds to rss converter. This feed includes categories and georss information. I found the following issues:
- RSS does not have other geo fields except the georss tags
- The location mapper does not allow mapping other fields then the georss (makes sence after the first issue)
- When solving 1 and 2 the locatiomodule will still attempt to find ‘better’ coordinates and throw away the provided onces
Feed Scraper 2: ideas and future development
After a good talk with alex_b at DrupalCon in Paris about Feed Scraper I've got to share some ideas about how the next version of the module could look like.
Here the main ones:
- Pipes: in Feed Element Mapper you can set a list of parsers for each feed content type. Sometimes, having a unique sequence of parsers for the entire XML feed is not enough to catch all the information a feed carries on. It would be handy to be able to have a specialized sequence of parsers (a "pipe") for each CCK field you want to map the result to. In this respect projects like QueryPath could nicely suit: quoting its "About the Name" section "The path part is intended to convey the chain-like "path" that one creates through". On Feed Scraper module page an issue has already been raised about how to transform a list of words in taxonomy terms (http://drupal.org/node/571358), here a pipe system could really help: after getting the list of comma-separated words, using the RegEx Parser, you would apply a String Explosion Parser to get the final array-like result, for example.
Dapper.net usefull? Yelp yp.com or yellowpages
Has anybody found dapper.net to be any good in creation of rss for yelp or yp? Can the pages from yp.com be created into rss feeds? I could not get anything when working with yp.com directly but when I went over to yahoo a I got some results but not ideal results.
After a few months at it I am very comfortable in the creation of images and video into full nodes.Yet Text still eludes me...I just can't get full nodes I only get teasers.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this as this has a lot to do with Flickr's API, but hopefully someone can help and may be I can help some others too.
Basically, I'm trying to streamline a process, so I can tag and comment of my photos in Picasa, upload to Flickr, have them pulled back down onto my Drupal blog, then I pick some and group them together into a blog entry.
This is how far I've gotten:

This ought to be simple but...
First let me say that I am a relative noob when it comes to drupal so I might be making a stupid mistake here and am just unaware of a simple-ish method for doing the following. Please be patient.
I have an rss feed with a number of datafields at the end such as:

Hello,
I am trying to aggregate stories from another site by using their RSS feed, but only thing that i get is a title, teaser and a link to full story. I want to get full story from RSS (or any other way) and create items as nodes in my site. Is there a way how i can extract full body of the story in rss feed? Or maybe somehow i could aggregate content from site? i have seen module like http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_eparser and maybe it could help.
Read moreDownload XML Data that's in an RSS Feed
I've been looking at a few modules but I can't seem to find something closer to what I'm looking for.
I have a couple rss feeds that I'm trying to merge using Yahoo Pipes (due to inconsistencies). Each item in the RSS has a link to a custom XML file. Each time a new RSS item comes in, I want to read the link to the XML, parse the XML and put it into a new CCK node, that I've created.
I'm really not sure where to start with this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Read moreFeedAPI module and Drupal 6.x - memory_get_usage() error
I have been trying to get Drupal 6.x to work with FeedAPI. I go through the installation process, create a feed, etc and once I try to refresh the feed to add the feed items I keep getting the following message:
error message: undefined function memory_get_usage()
The message refers to the feedapi.info file I think.
I managed to get this working on an installation of 5.x on my hosting service, HostingMatters.
Any thoughts? I searched around and can't find anything that specifically addresses this issue.
Thanks.
Read moreRSS Enclosure handling
Still working on my http://wwwatts.net site and am looking at what it will take to properly handle a podcast or other feed with enclosure tags. With my existing site the podcast entries get aggregated into an aggregate feed and the enclosure tags are carried along such that the aggregate feed is also a podcast aggregating the individual podcasts. This is a good thing (I think).
Read moreConfiguring Feedburner module with OG
Hey everyone,
I am "burning" my OG feeds with the Feedburner module. I'm hoping there is a way to get the burned feed to show automatically on the associated OG pages. Here are the issues I'm running into:
-The Feedburner block will list every Feedburner feed, but I'd like it to only show one feed per group.
-The Group Notifications block shows only one group feed per page, but it is the original RSS feed. In other words, it isn't showing the "burned" feed for that group.
Read moreA FeedAPI Parser using Querypath
I've just spent a couple of hours learning the FeedAPI Parser, erm, API. Pretty straight forward. The reason was to test out an idea of using the nifty QueryPath library to parse the RSS feed markup and keep it easy to understand in the PHP code.
The module is based on the SimpleXML parser code, with most of it either ripped out or commented out.
I'm not really sure where i'm going with this - and i've done no benchmarks to see if it really is faster than any of the existing libraries like Simplepie. It might be a waste of time!
