[nodebb-plugin-rss] RSS Feed plugin

Hero

Would it be possible to post the first entry in the RSS feed as a topic and then post the rest of the entries as replies?

julian

How would this look in RSS spec?

RSS: http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/question/28843883

This RSS displays the first entry as the question that was asked and the rest of the entries are the answers that were posted.

Any advice for a JS noob to customize this script to use the "category term" IDs in RSS as Topic Tags?

Sample RSS with categories/tags

Also, the ability to post the first entry in the RSS feed as a topic and then post the rest of the entries as replies would be great to generate content on a new forum. It will help increase search engine traffic and eventually active members.

I'll gladly donate $$ to whomever can help contribute to these requests. Thanks guys!

Jussst thought I would add this little snippet of code to the RSS plugin thread on this site. (so I can find it later)

On my RSS feed I like to include the source of where the link of the rss or 'where the rss feed article' came from (url). edit/change it how you like.

Add this extra line of code just after line 201 in index.js:

201:			content = toMarkdown(content);
202:			content += '\nSource: ' + entry.link + '\n'; <----- this line

It will add a

Source: http://www.rss.com/this/is/the/rss/link/here/page/story

to the bottom of every rss feed so the user can click to go to the page posted by the 'nodebb-plugin-rss' Plugin

Hey folks -- new here. Really liking NodeBB and this RSS plugin. I get an error when I add a Google News feed though. I've included that below. Any thoughts on how to go about fixing this? This is the feed I used:

https://news.google.com/?q=elections&output=rss

I've created an issue in github: https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-rss/issues/9

Pretty keen on this getting updated. My old way of adding link to content doesn't seem to wrk anymore

Seems it randomly works and then doesn't again. It's acting a bit weird

Any chance of an update @baris

EDIT: got the rss's working again but my entry.link doesn't appear to work anymore ..hmm

codejet

ok I fixed it , now upgraded and nothing works !

This post is deleted!

julian

Look like @baris fixed the linked issue already? Either way, perhaps he'll update you tomorrow

mudmanc4

Latest nodebb version this is stable for anyone?

pichalite

@mudmanc4 I have the plugin running fine on http://pichalite.com NodeBB v0.9.3

mudmanc4

Thanks @pichalite I must have something else borked up, adding this plugin causes 100% + CPU loads on a page refresh.

codejet

What would be cool in this and quite easy to implement would be the ability to configure your own timers for the feeds.

What you do think ?

Does not work on 1.0.1
Gives error "No new feed is returned" for any and every kind of feed.

Just for reference, @baris has fixed the No new feed is returned issue in the latest version.

Hi.. Some wordpress feeds are not showing the link to the original content ( ex: https://perdidonoteste.wordpress.com/feed/ )

The "error" No new feed is returned" only happens sometimes. ..

and getting this other error

@Leonardo-Galani What's your NodeBB version and what version of the plugin are you using?
