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.
Known issues, next steps
Thu, 09/13/2007 - 09:48 — Aron NovakHere I collected the main barriers/things to do that prevent FeedAPI being a stable module.
Content-types: this is not the users' duty anymore
Tue, 09/04/2007 - 06:45 — Aron Novak
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.

FeedAPI screencast
Sun, 08/12/2007 - 20:15 — Aron NovakI 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
Beta release is out
Fri, 08/03/2007 - 20:39 — Aron Novak
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 ;)
Refactoring is almost done
Thu, 08/02/2007 - 20:50 — Aron Novak
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.
Under refactoring
Wed, 08/01/2007 - 13:47 — Aron Novak
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.
Insane processor configurations
Thu, 07/26/2007 - 09:31 — Aron Novak
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? Alpha release
Tue, 07/24/2007 - 19:06 — Aron Novak
It's out! Let's see release notes!
It contains processors for nodes and aggregator-mimics too.
