Directing feeds into Categories and missing body

davidX

This discussion is related to the Magpie Feeds addon.

Hello,

How would I direct feeds into a certain category names "News"? Also, it seems everything is working except for importing the body of a feed. Maybe a future feature would be to be able select the category you want the feed to populate to. Nice work btw!

Why is the body missing? In the code, the title is concatenated to 'temporary body'! What's up with that? Also, the delete does not delete the active feeds. In fact, if you completely remove the plugin and reinstall it, the former feeds are still there because they haven't been deleted from config.php.

The 'temporary body' error makes this useless for me. I am trying to feed code red dogs (shelter dogs who are about to be destroyed.) from facebook pages into a vanilla forum. This would only work if the body of the feeds displayed and they could be directed into the proper categories. If these 2 issues are solved, this plugin could (and would) help to save many lives. It would allow many rescue efforts in many parts of the world to be easily viewed and discussed in one place.

I fixed the "temporary body' error on mine.

in class.magpiefeeds.plugin.php

Find where it says:

     $StoryBody = $Item['title']."temporary body";

Replace it with:

     $StoryBody = $Item['description'];

Actually, I decided I wanted the link to the article above the body, so I changed it to this:

Replace this line:
$StoryBody = $Item['title']."temporary body";

With this line:
$StoryBody = $Item['link']."<br>".$Item['description'];

The idea of this is really good, but unfortunately in it's present state, it's quite defunct. The formatting of the imported posts are also wacky.
