RSS import - use RSS field as input for custom fields

[Jimi Wikman]

Right now, RSS import is rather clunky and you get the imports in the content as one blob.

I would like to be able to select one of XML nodes as source into a custom field when creating the import.

Maybe for example I have a custom field called "Author", then I want to match that with the XML node that hold that information. In some cases it will not be available, then I will leave that blank, or enter a default value just like you can today.

So for this to be useful I need the following:

1. Be able to choose to use an XML node, or set a default value.
2. If I choose XML node, then I need to get a list of the nodes in a dropdown so I can select it

For extra credit, it would also be nice to see the XML so I can see what information it contains, in case the naming of the XML nodes are confusing.

 

Anyone thinks they have a solution for this, then toss me a PM to discuss or post a reply here if you are not shy 🙂

@Fosters has made this, or a limited version, but it is ancient and has not updated it. A real shame.
