Feed2DB - Support Topic

Basic import appears to work well with latest version (1.0.1). Some additional things we'd like:

  • Support "enclosure" tag for multimedia - most interested in capturing the enclosure url
  • Support mapping to predefined content fields. Most wanted:
    • Record Image
    • Publish Date

Images are pull in just not as featured image

I noticed the same problem. It's making it hard for me to use supergrid with this mod. looking forward to the fix.

Thank you :)

Hi @Fosters.  Can i make a suggestion for this app?  Perhaps to add a "Tags" field which connects to the IPS tags system, so each RSS feed can have its own tags?

Thanks

This might be doable for the app.  I know some articles include tags as a meta data, so Fosters would just need to map those to the IPS 4 tags.

While i think of it too, perhaps it would be possible to map the publication date on the feed item to the publication date on the imported entry?

I am having a similar issue with picking up the publication data from the feed.

I would also like to use this to import Podcast RSS feeds. However, the mp3 URL on the enclosure line is not being picked up by the app.

<enclosure url="http://URLTOPOSTCAST.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg" />

I need to customize the way the app picks up certain RSS feeds and how it utilizes the information.

I want each item to create a new topic and automatically embed an sound player for the enclosure item.

Hi @Fosters Happy new year.

Having issues with this, when I try adding a new feed I get this error:

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. 

Call to a member function children() on null

You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. 
 

Nothing in error logs.

OK thx, I'm working on this right now, so I was curios if something else didn't work to fix it before the next release:)

Update on this? Application as-is is pretty useless without featured image.

Any progress with implementing podcast/.mp3 files?

This is not currently on our roadmap and we don't foresee a strong demand for this.  

However, if you give us an example of an RSS feed with Podcast or MP3 file, we can take a look at it.j

Hi, we wanted to let everybody know that images and fields from feeds will be a mappable field.  This is on our roadmap for when we can update the application to 4.3 compatibility.
