Hi

I don't think the external feeds will do what you want. The external feeds allow you to specify a different feed URL that is managing your blog feed (like feedburner) and then when someone access your internal blog feed it will redirect them to your external feed.

I don't think it would be easy to do what you are thinking about. There is a plugin called Feed Importer which you will find if you search the forums. You would need to set this up to read your lifestream feeds on a regular basis (an i am not sure it does this out of the box) and it would then create posts for your based on those feeds. That would be a pretty cool thing to get set up :)

Or you could just take the easy way out like I did and use a service like Friendfeed and write a plugin to embed your friendfeed stream into a blog post:

http://www.leeturner.org/b2evolution-plugins.php/friendfeed-plugin-for-b2evolution

Note that this doesn't create posts for you based on your life stream or anything fancy like that. It just embeds your stream into a post like you can see here:

http://www.leeturner.org/lifestream.php

I hope all that makes sense :)

Well, that's why I ask, I did imagine that the external feeds do not work that way, and as there was not so much documentation... I asked! :D

Meanwhile I learn to do it, I spent a few hours and I did a very simple lifestream (aka feed aggregator) with the simplepie (www.simplepie.org) But I wanna achive a different thing (I guess you get what I wanted to do)

Yes, I did search through the forums, but I saw that this plugin you talk about (http://forums.b2evolution.net//viewtopic.php?t=18175&highlight=feed+importer) needs a license, and I cannot afford it! :S

Yes, Im aware of that option, but I wanna run my very own lifestream in my server (I dont like third parties services!)

It did had sense! I wonder why Im gonna solve this, I hope to be inspired ! :D (but of course, I listen suggestions! ;-) Thanks a lot pal! :D

Hi

I didn't actually realise there was a pro version of the plugin. It is a shame that isn't an option for you as it looks like it will do exactly what you are looking for:

Scheduled import. Automatically checks feeds for new entries and creates new posts

Good luck anyway :)
