FeedAPI - SoC

This site is an archive only, here you can explore how FeedAPI was developed in summer of 2007. If you have question/support request, please go to the project page.

Here I collected the main barriers/things to do that prevent FeedAPI being a stable module.

Finally the install process become easier. You don't have to manually create the basic content-types. Of course if you'd like to create a more complex content-type, the possibility is still there.
The relevant ticket: http://drupal.org/node/164907

Again... :)
The release page.

I created a screencast about FeedAPI, you can check out the installation, the setup and some parts of usage:
feedapi.mpeg - 14 Mb (4 : 36) - VLC and MPlayer can play this video
feedapi.avi - 23 Mb (4 : 36) - only sound, it should be played by most of the video players
feedapi_commentary.avi - 34 Mb (4 : 36) - with audio commentary

At the release page you can download it immediately.
I do not want to describe here the same things as in the release notes and the README.txt
Yeah, there is a README.txt too. I promise that not the README.txt file is the most important change ;)

feedapi and feedapi_item is ready, next day I'll refactor feedapi_aggregator too.
I plan the beta release tomorrow.
If you want to check out the new concept, let's visit feedapi.novaak.net . Be sure to visit the content-type administration page and try to edit one.

Currently the module is under refactoring, the CVS and the devel version maybe work insanely. Stay tuned by the end of the transformation!
(concept: feed = node and there are no explicit feed processors, the nodeapi is the way how the processors can react to feed operations)
The FeedAPI's other parts will remain. I hope that this refactoring will cause simpler UI and better extensibility.
Stay tuned, I plan to finish the refactoring by the end of the week.

I spent the time from morning to midday to try out all the possible (and insane) processor configuration (I mean both items and feeds), I fixed a lots of issues related to this. And an issue of mass feed creating was also fixed.
btw. I tagged the files, so if you want the latest (greatest? :) ) version of the module, please use this CVS command:

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r DRUPAL-5 -d feedapi contributions/modules/feedapi

Todo: presets and continue the devel documentation.
Should I create a page in the Drupal handbook for the FeedAPI documentation or it's too early now?

It's out! Let's see release notes!
It contains processors for nodes and aggregator-mimics too.
