After i log a call for support for RSS import, it was propose to post request here.

When we want to import RSS looks like the suite request a channel

«...It looks like it is because they do not include any channel information within that Feedburner....»

The same RSS feed use in other RSS reader work fine

So the request is to make sure we can import any RSS feed. Example to validate, if Outlook/google reader can open it Invision suite should be able too. In my case this is important as I have multiple members having external blog or partner with RSS feed.

In a near future I look to establish partnership with partner where RSS will be one way to exchange information between communities.

Not sure if this can be done over an update or if it need to wait for a major update like IPS V4.0 any feedback from development will be appreciate.

What's the URL? I'm not really clear on why a valid RSS feed would be an issue.

Here the abstract of my support call. hope it hep

«...I try to import this RSS feed without success. This is from Blogspot. I have no problem with other RSS reader

Brandon, ticket number is 847951 if you want to look. However, the code is requiring a channel tagset, which feedburner does not provide.

FeedBurner is a nuisance.

Not only is it ATOM, but it wraps the contents of ATOM 'content' node in every feed item with another completely custom non-standard element(I would know, I have to strip it for a certain mod).

Ah, ok so this makes sense now.

This isn't an RSS feed. It's an ATOM feed, and our software has never supported ATOM feeds (although it's a minor limitation I would like to overcome in the future, as there's no reason not to that I can see). It's a different but similar specification, so it's easy to confuse the two as a user.

Thank you Brandon for the link.

Any chance this can be in the next specs for 4.0? or update for 3.4?

It might be a minor limitation, but it seems like it prevent members to link their Blog to the community.

I found a place where it proposes to use this for RSS format.

Simply providing information.

That suggested url for RSS format just does an immediate 302 redirect to the ATOM format, thus the code is yet again trying to parse ATOM expecting RSS.

Will overcome this limitation at this time(globally).

I have nothing at all against ATOM support going core, is just one less hook to me for that application's functionality. :smile:

ATOM support is something on our "to investigate" list. At this time we can't say what will and won't be included in 4.0.

Can we say now if this will be included?

When we finalize RSS import routines (which are, relatively, low priority) we intend to support ATOM provided we don't run into any reasons not to.

Great bfarber, too many sites use ATOM to not include it. Not sure on the numbers but a lot use ATOM compared to RSS it also seems? Anyhow, thank you
