RSS Feed Import

Featured Replies

Posted

I would like to see a native RSS Feed importer that can pull the feed image and set it as the database item "featured" image. I really like the database feature of IPS and especially articles. In the past I used Wordpress and WPMUDEVs RSS Importer.

Would be nice to see a feature like this for IPS.

Hello! is there any news on this - does something already exist, a plugin maybe? thank you very much in advance! @joshuaj

what i am searching for is something that will take the latest WP posts,  and  show them   in IPB board, ideally with an  image and a title! 

+1 Me too!

Clients including myself have been asking for this for some time. Seems truly bizarre there is still no built-in import to Pages Databases/Articles via RSS functionality with relevant import options (for images etc), when the ability exists for Blogs, Forums, Pages widgets. I think it really holds Pages back as a CMS.

I'd also like to see support for XML/JSON-LD shared content import into Pages widgets and databases too, the usage possibilities with data import are pretty cool, crime data, weather data, scientific data, flight/ship data etc.

Hey there @MeMaBlue, @The Old Man,

Right now Fosters has an RSS plugin that can do 99% of what I want. It doesn't allow you to map an image yet - but @Fosters says he is working on this feature.

Currently you have to manually add the image after the import.

 

 

Thanks, yes I've seen the Marketplace mod but I'm avoiding it for a few reasons, namely I believe:

  • This should preferably be an officially supported, built-in utility as with Forums and Blogs
  • whilst I respect the effort and skills behind it, it's far too expensive for what is effectively an automated tool
  • It doesn't resolve the image import issue

@joshuaj thank you for that - i already have a few of Fosters plugins and they work very well and were needed. 

I will consider it after reading the support topics. of course manually adding an image everytime for every article that will  be in the rss , is something that makes the procedure not ideal.

Oh i just saw, it needs the pages app.... which i dont own since i want that import to happen from my wordpress homepage. . 

So,... that plugin is a no no for me.

I've just generated a purchase for you:) Fell free to test it and purchase it if you want to use it , or leave it if it doesn't work for you:)

Totally agree. Maybe it's something you can ask @Fosters about? I've been waiting on this one as well.

Sorry for this, that's just some left debug code there. Really nothing to worry about, I've already removed it and will see if we can push a new release this weekend.
