Hello!

At my site this plugin do not add anything.
I setup a grabing template and a news weblog to grab into. While manually grabing feeds using template I recieve:

Fetching: http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/full/tags/nature
Checking: Articles and Information about Nature, Nutrition, Health and Medicine
Checking: A Truly Stunning Land Gift
Checking: Pattern Language.com
Checking: WhatBird | identify birds | bird identification guide | north america
Checking: Geoffrey Philp’s Blog Spot: John Maxwell: Jamaica at Another Crossroad
Checking: Backyard Birder | A reader blog about birding with Dorothy A. Borders
Checking: Animal Planet :: Backyard Habitat
Checking: WhatBird | identify birds | bird identification guide | north america
Checking: South Dakota Birds and Birding - Home Page
Checking: A Nature Haven - Original Australian Photography : CafePress.com
...

But no news are added to the blog :(( What i do wrong?

Me again :)

Sometimes for new feed i receive

Fetching: http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/lite/tags/underwater
Checking: fuji underwater housing

Found: fuji underwater housing

But again no entries added to weblog section.

OK - I’ve fixed a couple of bugs and uploaded a new 0.5.4 version (see link above).

Thanks to all of you who have sent in reports that it does not seem to be adding the entries to your weblogs.

To help me fix this I’d be very grateful if can you send me some more details so I can try and replicate the problem.

It would be useful to know:

any error messages you are getting
what version of EE you are using
the contents of template you are using to call FeedGrab
details of the weblog (eg, field names) you are trying to insert the entry into

You’re welcome to email these if you don’t want your details shown.

Many thanks again to everyone testing this.

No problem, Robert, thanks for letting me know.

The error checking is v. weak at the moment - the plugin should catch that kind of error, really.

The FeedGrab plugin won’t do anything clever to parse out the table information, but you might be able to do something clever when displaying the field.

The PHPStringFun plugin is quite good if you know PHP a little.

Hi Emily,

You’ll need to run the ‘go’ page to update unfortunately. I use a ‘cron’ job to periodically hit the page.

Hi,

I would love to use this plugin to get RSS data, but then be able to add some static data to each db entry at the same time. Is there a way for me to modify it and add a tag to do that? Something like:

{exp:feedgrab url=“http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/lite/people/ajweaver”
                  weblog=“WEBLOG_ID”
                  title=“title”
                  date=“pubDate”
                  use=“link|description”
                  fields=“magnolia_url|magnolia_body”
                  static=“Judd was here|andrew was here”
                  staticfields=“who|who_else”
}

You get the idea. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Judd

I’m trying to grab a atom feed and add the data from the feed into an
expression engine weblog using feedGrab.When run, It works fine for
all fields execpt the body content. In this particular feed the node
for the body content is called ‘content’. Instead of putting the body
text from the feed in, it inserts it as ‘array’?

Does anyone have any idea’s why this could be happening as the correct
field name’s and node names are being specified.

Is there a way to grab the Title from the Channel information, so as to display the RSS feed source?  I haven’t been able to figure that out.

Hi Andrew, I moved my feedgrab site to a new host. Feedgrab does not likes this for some reason. It has stripped out all <  > tags. awhat gets published is a lot of unformatted html. Do you have an idea what might cause this? Also, in EE version 1.6.7 the plugin manager is blank again.

Cheers

Robert
