RSS & Aggregation
Working on the improvement of the RSS/ATOM aggregation provided by Drupal.
Switching 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!
Views with FeedAPI help.
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.
Finish Feedapi based aggregator | Private Company
Small, quick project. I need assistance creating a feed aggregator using feedapi and mapper. My xml file is not rss, which it can be, but I need validation to my schema.
Items to complete (this is my best guess being a noobie -- fill in the missing pieces as you are the expert):
1. Custom xml parser with validation
2. Mapping of elements to content type (content-type already created)
3. I think the instructions say to use drush feedapi for the cron job -- setup
Youtube 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.
FeedApi_node versus feedapi_data
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.
Locatio 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.
Process Question: Flickr API feed photos & exif data to FeedAPI -> ??? -> Photo Blog!
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:
Need some help
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.
Download 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.
FeedAPI 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.
RSS 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).
Configuring 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.
Freelance Troubleshooter - Feed API & OG | Small Ball USA
Hi,
I'm trying to use Feed API to create OG nodes. I'm able to create the nodes, but they aren't showing up as OG nodes.
I've been going back and forth on this for 8 hours, so I can't even remember half of the settings I've tried to make this work. Rather than posting all the info here, I'd be willing to pay someone with more experience using FeedAPI and OG to go in and make the necessary adjustments. Then I will figure out what step(s) I was missing and I'll post it so it will hopefully save someone from the headaches I just gave myself.
A 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!

Feedapi and Location information
Hi,
Feedapi has a location_cck mapper (the location mapper itself doesn't work anymore). Does anyone have a xml-feed with location info working through feedapi?
what fields are obligated?
Thanks for your answers in advance please!

Munging?
I have built an aggregator site (http://wwwatts.net) using some home grown software written in groovy to do aggregation and publishing pages. The result is okay but now I want to shift to Drupal for it and the FeedAPI is nigh on perfect. However there are some things which were required on wwwatts.net which I don't see how to do in FeedAPI.. so I just wrote a little module for one of these things.
Namely...
