Works like a charm Sam.
I'm surprised at how fast it delivered the feed.
I also opted for the b2evolution news feed.

Next is Twitter :)

Plugin updated, now works in b2evo 3.x

You don't have to update it if you use b2evo 2.x

@sam2kb
It would be nice to be able to add a Title/Heading to a feed page via the Plugin settings.
I added one via a hack of the blog's "Long Description:"
EG: <h2 class="bTitle">B2evolution News Feed</h2>

Wow, awesome, it's the most requested plugin :p Great job there (and thanks for updating it to v3 :p )

Going to play with it hehe... (content gallore lol)

Btw, I'd like to take this time to ask, will it read and post the content/feed license? If not, any chance of adding that feature?

Technically there is no [u]feed page[/u], there are only blogs and categories. The plugin creates new posts in existing categories, it can't change anything but posts. So if you'd like to add a header or a footer to each post I can make this feature, but editing the blog title is outside of the plugin's scope.

It can get lots of info from feeds (maybe even the license), but where do you want to display it? Again, it's only possible to create posts, feeds don't have enough info to create blogs or categories. So if you want to display this license info above or below the each imported post, I'll make this feature.

Thank you guys for testing. BTW there is a new version available in SVN which can import/export b2evo posts, so feel free to play with it ( on non-production blog :) )

The differences between Feed and b2evo import are as follows:
- excerpts
- post type (page, link etc.)
- link to url
- tags
- correct post locale
- visibility status
- comments (open, closed etc.)
- views

Basically it'll create the exact copy of the original post except it won't keep any user-related info and a list of renderers.

So if you ever decided to merge blogs you'd love this feature :)

For the license, the end part of the post should be fine. Say the feed-post it posted is "CC By-SA 3.0 Unported", then it'll show just that. If it's an active link, then maybe an active link also. Basically, whatever license the feed provided or the post provided... so if it says something like "ABCDE" then I guess that's the license "ABCDE" (whatever kind of license is that).

So at least, we won't have an issue from the original authors, specially the Creative Commons licensed content/feed/posts.

For the categories, since not all feeds actually send categories (I only know Blogger/BlogSpot feeds that puts the categories/labels correctly in their feeds), the best way will be the ability to put a particular feed to a particular b2evo-blog category.

So say I'm feed-posting the posts of Mozilla-QA Team, the posts will be under my Mozilla-QA Category.

^_^

Haven't tested yet :p watched Race to Witch Mountain yesterday Saturday :p Then Sunday today here, family day. Will do later this evening or tomorrow Monday.

This is how it works now ;). You can only post in existing categories.

Hmm... I'm testing it for v3.1-alpha, so my suggestions below may not be applicable (so please do tell).

Suggestions:
- A link back to the original article
- A list of feeds currently active
- And a way to enable/disable each feed
- Ability to add tags perhaps?
- Ability to set how far back the initial activation will "post" (I haven't tested what will happen if I re-submit the same feed)

The CCL suggestion earlier can come later hehe ;)

- A link back to the original article
- A list of feeds currently active
- And a way to enable/disable each feed

Good ideas :)

- Ability to add tags perhaps?

It already creates tags from post categories (checked on b2evo and wordpress feeds)

- Ability to set how far back the initial activation will "post" (I haven't tested what will happen if I re-submit the same feed)

Do you mean an option to limit the number of imported items?
The plugin won't add the post if an item with the same date and title is already posted by the same author.

sam2kb wrote:

Hmm.. you mean if there's a "tag/category" available based on the Feed itself?

What I mean then, is a way to set a tag to the post created when the feed is imported, similar to how we choose a category for the imported posts.

For example:
Feed A - I set to be posted under Category "Linux"
Feed A - I also set it to have the tag "Debian" and "Ubuntu"

Or I'm missing something? Hmm, will try under v2.x hehe. ^_^

For the first part, a way to tell to for example, import feeds starting from 2 days ago. This way, if a feed provides up to 2 months ago (that will be a lot of items to import), I can just limit it to start from 2 days ago.

Or maybe instead of "days", "Import X number of feeds". Basically, only for the initial import.

For the ( ) part, cool. ^_^ I just haven't tested re-importing the same feed :p

There appears to be a 60 character limit in the URL text box. Is that a hard limit or is there a way to increase that so I can enter a longer URL?

i totally missed this one, i see this for the first time

this looks like exactly what i need.. i was trying to make ¥åßßå's rss reader so that it could make new post with rss feed..

However it stops working when a special character gets involved..

Are you talking about your plugin? I think this one should work good :)

The problem exists for both your plugin and ¥åßßå's plugin.. so i assume, it might be a problem related with me, but there's a slight chance both your plugins are troubled :P

lol .. nice one.. that proves i am doing sth wrong, but does not help further..

i have succeded with it as far as you did...

however ie. in your blog : http://ru.b2evo.net/demo/blogs/blog1.php/2009/04/01/kuertce-soeyledieime-hala-inanamyyorum

the content is displayed:

"Rojin ismi yüzünden kaçak gezdiðini, dayak yediðini, tutuklandýðýný ve çok zor günler yaþadýðýný itiraf eden þarkýcý, TRT Þeþ ile birlikte tabularýn yýkýldýðýný da söyledi."

where it should have been:

"Rojin ismi yüzünden kaçak gezdiğini, dayak yediğini, tutuklandğını ......etc.."

which means, (ğ)'s are still converted to (ð)'s, (ı)'s are converted to (ý)'s etc..... this may be a formatting.php issue again ?

can it be somehow related to this ?:

http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?p=74938#74938

there are 12 special characters in Turkish alphabet and 6 of them were included i just added following lines for the rest not included..

'Þ' => 'Ş',
'Ý' => 'İ',
'ý' => 'ı',
'ð' => 'ğ',
'þ' => 'ş',
'Ð' => 'Ğ'

You should post it in bugs section with description and links before the stable b2evo 3.x released

any suggestions for a solution ?

btw:

- automatically check feeds for new entries and create new posts

that would be great

You already found a workaround. Use your formatting.php hack and try to convince devs to include your hack in next release :)

i have tried also on whissip.. and the same problem persisted..

Turkish characters are displayed correct when writing a [url=http://www.whissip.tilqi.com/blog1.php/2009/04/04/testing-turkish-characters]post[/url] manually.

However, the post stops as soon as a special character interferes again.

Example link:

http://www.whissip.tilqi.com/blog1.php/2009/04/03/-45

The title's supposed to be

"Zam yapan otomotivciye soruşturma"

Whereas it's currently:

"Zam yapan otomotivciye soru"

it stops when the "ş" got involved..

so what is your diagnosis?.. the manually created posts are fine but the feeds are not, both for your plugin and ¥åßßå's

Short answer: blame the smplepie script http://simplepie.org/demo/?feed=http%3A%2F%2Fsondakika.haber7.com%2Fsondakika.rss

Alternatively I can preg_replace those special characters for you :), but what if in another language those characters are valid and will be replaced with Turkish (invalid) ones

there's totally sth wrong, are you sure it's the simple pie ? if so, i will just stop fiddling with evo settings, i am already lost in charset, unicode, iso, encoding etc words..

if preg_replace would be the solution i would love to use it, and wouldnt care about other languages, do you believe you could work out sth for me ? i d be glad to help if i can.. like giving html entities for Turkish characters or anything else etc..thanks in advance, that would be great if i could solve this one

Did you check the link above? It displays wrong special characters, so the problem is not in b2evo, but in simplepie script.

I'll add an option for Turkish users ;)

type in the rss url select cat press import and nothing happens

Fixed, now it displays a nice error message ;)

I found another weird bug, in b2evo 2.x the plugin works great, but in 3.x it truncates words as you mentioned above. Do you have a chance to try it in 2.x with Turkish feed (use edited plugin from your 3.x blog)

All done.
The problem was in wrong charset, in b2evo 3.x only 2 locales provided by default and they both use charset iso-8859-1 even if you selected utf-8 in conf/_locales.php.

The plugin now uses $evo_charset (which may be utf-8) instead of $current_charset (which is always iso-8859-1 unless you changed it in regional settings or install another locale)

Have tried it on [url=http://www.tilqi.com/blog3.php]a 2.4.6 install[/url] and it works almost perfect with the edited one from my 3.x blog.. now that's something ;)

it might be that install that truncates, i have kinda played with it when it didnt turn out the way we thought at first place..happy to see we are having a progress here

Gonna try it with a fresh proper 3.x install in the evening.. thanks in advance..

update: wow, it seems it's now working with my pre-existing 3.1 blog.. have you changed anything yet ? i mean since the time you told it was working for 2.x but not 3.x ?

thanks either way though, it seems amazing..

remaining questions, ordered by priority-to me ofc- :

*When do you think you can enable the automatic check of rss feed for new posts ? And once you do it, it ll automatically import the new post immediately right ?
-i remember seeing sth like 15 mins in plugin.php does it have to do anything with this ?-

*Does it post backwards ? I mean for say i have imported an rss feed at 6th of April will it import the feed before the 6th of april ? or is it able to do it ?

*Is the publish time of a post is the publish time of the original post ? or by the time i publish/import the post ? - it seems it's the original time ?-

*Some publishers have limitations on their rss feeds- just like in b2- they limit the feed to a few lines not the entire content.. is there a way to override it ?

Yes. If the date is available (RSS-2 and Atom) it will be used. When importing RSS-0.9 and RSS-1 the current time is used.

*Some publishers have limitations on their rss feeds- just like in b2- they limit the feed to a few lines not the entire content.. is there a way to override it ?

No. But if you own a blog you can use b2evo import/export feature

thank you for the info.. what does import/export a blog does exactly ? is it for kinda backup/restore thing ?

And finally, if i install the plugin now, and import a feed from x.rss, will it keep checking that x.rss feed and posting when a new post available regularly , or do i have to update and import posts manually ?

XML Feed import works very good right now.
I'm going to finish the b2evo to b2evo import/export feature and text file import.

When you export a blog you actually export all items from it. No blog or category settings are exported. It's useful when you want to merge blogs or move your existing posts to another install.
For backup/restore you still have to dump the database.

The differences between Feed and b2evo import are as follows:
- excerpts
- post type (page, link etc.)
- link to url
- tags
- correct post locale
- visibility status
- comments (open, closed etc.)
- views

Basically it'll create the exact copy of the original post except it won't keep any user-related info and a list of renderers.

I have installed version 0.3 on b2evo 2.4.7 and got this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_url_path() on a non-object in /home/davidzim/public_html/inc/items/model/_itemlight.class.php on line 213

this line reads:

 			case 'chapters':
				$permalink = url_add_tail( $blogurl, '/'.$this->main_Chapter->get_url_path().$urltail );
				break;

but the thing is, it still posts the first (latest) item in the feed. It doesn't cycle through any of the others, I think this error must break the loop.

Any ideas?

ALSO-
I work a lot with parsing RSS/Atom feeds with PHP and have used simplepie before. Can I help?[/code]

Change lines 359-365 to this

// Check if post already exists in our DB
if( $check_existance && ($skip_ID = $this->post_exists($item)) )
{
	$this->msg( sprintf( $this->T_('The post %s already exists in DB, skipping...'), '#'.$skip_ID ), 'note' );
	continue;
}

I already forgot that I have half-done version 0.3 in CVS :). I completely recoded this plugin and added new features a moth ago, but don't have time to finish it.

sorry. that didn't work. I even tried re-installing the plugin.

I thought that would do it. Thanks for the try.

Well, 0.3 is a development version. Do you have the same problem with 0.2 ?

no- 0.2 didn't work.

I ran it again today and now it's added the second most-recent item in the feed. If I run it one time after the next it won't do this. It's like I have to wait a day or something.

So here's how it looks: it enters the most recent item from the feed but then throws an error that stops looping through the feed items.

just a sec.. let me try to just get 1 item from the feed and see what happens...

weird.

when I post it directly (rather than send to draft) with one item it posts it without error

when I post it directly (not draft) with 10 items it posts the first item and then throws the error. even though I have selected the checkbox- to not import duplicates- it still posts the first item (appending "-1" to the end of the permalink= standard b2e)

when I send it to draft (rather than posting it directly) it throws the error no matter how many posts

whether or not I select the checkbox- post only new items- doesn't affect this.

Can you give a link to the feed you're importing?

Also try the following in v0.3 , change

$this->msg( $this->T_('New post created:').' <a href="'.$edited_Item->get_permanent_url().'" target="_blank">#'.$ID.'</a>', 'success' );

to

$this->msg( $this->T_('New post created:').' #'.$ID, 'success' );

Thanks for debugging the plugin ;)

EUREKA! it works!

It did throw these messages...

* The post #971 already exists in DB, skipping...
* The post #971 already exists in DB, skipping...
* The post #972 already exists in DB, skipping...

looks to me like it might be starting over at the first post's number each time it loops through the feeds.

I was able to import my delicious bookmarks AND my flickr photos directly into my b2evo installation. The flickr feed even posted the description I had written.

If you visit my blog you won't see it now- I imported them as drafts so I can clean them up a bit.

THANKS.

The manual entry isn't so bad but it would be nice for it to remember previous feeds that were imported. It would seem to me that keeping track of feeds would be a next-step towards automating them anyway. Can I put my skills to work and help you with this?

This is already done, I haven't upload the current version yet. If you can write a good Readme for this plugin in native English I would really appreciate it.

So what did you do to get it working? Or did you just replace the code in my last post?

I made the two simple chnages you mentioned in the last couple posts. the first one didn't seem to do anything to help but I kept it in along with the second change and it worked just fine.

great job, this is exactly what I was looking for too... excellent !!

please keep on the good work !

Heads up: I was trying to use a feed url that seems to be longer than allowed. The result is an error claiming there is no feed found. Is there a way around that?

Hi mattoo,

v0.2 is the latest stable version for now.

I'm working on Feed Importer 1.0 Pro (paid version), it will include all "blue" features from the first post.

ok thanks for this prompt reply !

I'd be very interrested in this "full" version, do you have a schedule release date ?

thanks !

It's already done, I just need to finish docs, and registration functions. I'll try to finish by 07/31.

I'll make a post in this thread once the plugin is available.

okay great, thank you and ... awaiting for news ^^

I have the importer working...but some of the functionality that you're discussing here as in the older version doesn't seem to exist in the version I downloaded. I can only specify a feed...and topic... The import works but in some cases I get about a gadzillion posts (which I don't want or need) and no ability to have them go to draft status (which I will need to make minor formatting issues.)

So is there a later version than the one I have that ya'll are working on?

All features you've listed are included in PRO version which should be available by the end of the month.

The latest released version is 0.2, it won't be updated or extended with new features.

I'll be waiting for the release. THANKS!

what do you know about [url=http://simplepie.org/]SimplePie PHP RSS[/url]? It has some features might be worth cribbing.

This plugin uses SimplePie to parse XML feeds

sweet!

then i can check that off my to-learn list.

Ok I need this.
Is suppose this is the ideal way to make 1 blog from 5 b2evo installs ?

Easily :)

Cool. Will use this for the "Planet" blog I'm planning. ^_^

i bought a multi domain license, how do I redeem the goods? :D

Thanks you.
I'll send the plugin on your email shortly.

Invaluable plugin. Lottsa potential.

Speedy customer service, too. Thanks!

Are there any free plug in's that will do this?? My wordpress blog has this built in and I can find free mods to do this for all my other script, phpbb,vbulletin etc..

No offense but the blog script is free and now I have to pay $40 for a plug in?

I am new to this particular script and I was strongly considering using these for 3 different blogs I own but I am having second thoughts now if this is any indication.

I do appreciate the hard work that goes into writing these scripts but I just cannot understand getting the main blog script fee and but having to pay for a simple plug in..

If anyone knows any free script I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Have you ever heard about paid Wordpress plugins and themes?

You're not forced to buy anything.

Will this export to txt file? It looks like all it does is export to .b2e?

It also exports in XML and CSV formats.
You can test it in [url=http://demo.sonorth.com/admin.php?ctrl=tools&tab=plug_ID_14&login=admin&pwd=demopass]demo[/url]

OK I bought it now how do I get it?

Thank you for ordering the plugin.

Please check the email linked to your PayPal account.

I got it and was able to export - but there are no categories? Is there anyway to change the parameters so I can pull categories as well? Is there no way to work with the data before the export so I can pull what I want?

The plugin doesn't export category information on purpose. It's done this way so you can later import the posts into any category or blog.

I'm going to add category and blog structure export/import feature in next releases.

This makes it worthless for me - I have over 5000 posts to export. There is no way I can go through and manually add categories to them. That should have been disclosed before.

What exactly are you trying to do?
Do you want to export all posts and categories and import them in another b2evolution install?
Or do you want to export posts from selected categories?

Honestly I am trying to get all of my posts, categories, comments, etc out of B2E. I need it all. I purchased yours because it seems to be the only thing available (that works) to get it all but it doesn't.

How do you want to format the exported information? It's not a problem to export categories and blogs to CSV or XML file, but I doubt you can use is later.

All information is stored in the database. You can dump the database.

Hi, great plugin, I just tested it. I am looking for a Gregarius replacement (no longer maintained: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gregarius/ ).

My question: Is it possible to import several feeds at once, for example via an opml-file?

No, it's not possible to import several feeds at once. I'll add this option in todo list.

As a workaround you can combine several feeds with a third party service like [url=http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/]Yahoo pipes[/url], and use that feed in the importer.

It looks very useful, but the cost of a plugin is quite high, sorry

I offer you 10 dollars. This is what I have for now.

It's not a flea market :)
You can use a free version of this plugin for basic things.
