Is there some way to hide all topics within a category from all feeds (recent, popular, new, the digest)?
I need the topics to be accessible (and usable) to all users directly, but not searchable or showing up at random.
[nodebb-plugin-rss] RSS Feed plugin
-
This NodeBB plugin pulls RSS feeds and creates topics in predefined categories.
https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-rss
To customise options for the parser, please consult the "RSS" page in the administration panel, under the "Plugins" heading.
Installation
npm install nodebb-plugin-rssUsage
- Click 'Add Feed'
- Enter the RSS feed you want to pull
- Select the category you want to post to
- Enter tags if you want to tag the posted topics
- Type in the username you want to post as
- Select the interval to query the RSS feed
- Select the timestamp to use for the topic
- Click Save.

Damn! Superb work. Does this work with 0.2.0?
I'll test this out tonight... -
Yes it does work with 0.2.0, should work with previous versions too.
-
I've warned @baris about the hazards of parsing RSS feeds, but of course, caveat emptor. Broken RSS feeds will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
If a feed isn't being pulled in correctly, please let us know here!
-
Depends on the source. Right?
-
Yep. Some feeds break standard and can't always be parsed correctly
-
Just want to make sure I've done this correctly because not working so far.
I pasted this "http://www.reign-of-chaos.co.uk/index.php?forums/general-discussion.16/index.rss" into the feed url then set the other options as required but nothing gets posted into the relevant cat, so what did I break this time?? -
Just tested on my environment with your feed url and it worked :
After enabling the plugin I restarted my nodebb. I used the exact url you posted and set the user to myself. Used an interval of 1 minute.
-
umm thats what I did, set it to 1 min but nothing v strange.
-
I have put the user as anonymous and restarted and done test posts on feed forum but still nothing do you think its a issue from the feed forum?
-
it would appear you need to use a proper member name also it dose not show in new posts icon so nobody knows there are new posts from the rss feed.
-
Yeah it has to be a registered member name, I will take a look why it doesn't show in unread messages.

Defiantly not registering the feed posts, had 7 post come through but nonew posts showing.
-
Well the posts right now won't show up under /unread for the person who is posting the feed. So if you put your own username in the plugin it will post as you and you won't get it under /unread. Other users should see it there though.

It's very nice plugin.
Some article did not link back to original post but some did.
I tested on Thai Language RSS
http://www.ifreedo.com/category/4/ข-าวไทย-thailand-news
Tested on Lao Language RSS
http://www.ifreedo.com/category/3/ข-าวลาว-laos-news
I put 3 news sources into same Category
Oh btw, if we have prefix on each news, it might be helpful for our readers to identify the news sources.
Thanks

@amerilao nice, a Thai forum! any chance you'd be translating a language pack for Thai / Laos?
-
Hi there, after upgrading to 0.3.0, it seems like
The category field cannot be selected.
-
Works for me on latest. Did you clear cache? Any errors in the browser console?
-
Tried on mobile firefox
Will check the browser error later
-
@baris I just tried with chrome, it did not show any error, i simply have no choice when it come to the selection.
