[nodebb-plugin-rss] RSS Feed plugin

_axe

hey, i've installed the plugin on my nodebb v1.0.3 and reloaded and restarted the forum, but it's not showing up in my Plugins list. help?

Edit: OK, i downgraded to 0.3.8 and now it shows. bug, maybe?

Edit Edit: Any way to "force" refresh the feed to test it?

@_axe v0.3.11 has a typo that's why it's not registering on activation. Sent a PR. You can wait for new version or upgrade to v0.3.11, make the change manually and reload.

Hi!
First things first, thank you for this awesome plugin! It's a really cool feature that I could add to my forum.

I'm running it on NodeBB 1.1.2, but sometimes the logs are displaying this:

[31merror[39m: [[nodebb-plugin-rss:error]] Error pulling feed http://xxxxxx.xx/feed connect ECONNREFUSED 98.137.200.255:443

This IP looks like it's from yahoo, and I've read that you're using yahoo api, did they changed something?
Do you know how can I fix this?

Thank you!

Hi, this is a really nice plugin. I have a question or a little nag, though. Actually it's really specific so if there was a way I could just fix it for myself I'd be happy. (I'm way too novice to try to fork your code though.)

When you use the RSS plugin to pull in posts to your NodeBB from Steam community pages there is a peculiar problem with parsing images.

For an example:

 [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=790302505](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=790302505)

That is what it posts instead of an image or even a clickable link to the image. I don't know why it's spitting that out. Steam looks like it uses BBcode but that's not what that is. That looks more like making a hyperlink on Reddit.

Is there anything I can do about this? I'd like it to just go ahead and parse the image. I would settle for a link. Thanks for the great plugin in any case though!

<baris>

The plugin turns html into markdown so that's why it appears as [](), that is a markdown link. Like this http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=790302505 It appears the file is 404.

@baris Aah! I installed nodebb-plugin-markdown and it made that ugly spew transform into links. Well, there is my wish granted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It just wasn't clicking for me. And thanks again for the lovely plugin!

Seems like it stopped to work with 1.4.0

@baris hi, have you seen that problem?

Since I've updated to [email protected], and updated the RSS module, I can't add RSS feeds : 0_1506692901962_b5fb6407-e67a-48ad-9423-8ccaf70af60b-image.png

<baris>

I will take a look.

Published 1.1.9 which is compatible with NodeBB 1.6.0+

ffmad

@baris thanks a lot!

Seems broke in v1.7.3. Cant see it in admin panel. Not sure where i should look to debug. @baris

<baris>

@niacin Works for me, make sure it is activated and you ran ./nodebb build, check server and browser logs if it is still not working.

@baris There are a lot of data put into the database when creating posts for every rss entry. What is the cleanup routine and is it possible to use this plugin as a viewer only and skip the creation on posts? I would like to have a plugin that merges multiple RSS feeds into one and sort it after date. Then add it to a widget as a joint news feed.

I guess the topic ID will go nuts after a while. The admin part is great but it would be nice with a skip add to post feat. Ore is there any other plugins out there that does this already???
