Bill,

One of the additions to agg2 I've made so far is a aggregator2_enclosure module.  Since podcasts include an <enclosure> or <link rel="enclosure"> in each RSS/Atom item, I made agg2_enclosure.module check the mime_type of the enclosure and either create an audio/video node depending on the type and they have a relational table linking them to the agg2_item. I probably should have used the node relativity module but just thought it'd be easier to do it myself, but integration with another module of that would allow for "linking" with the agg2_item which would allow cascading deletes using hook_nodeapi, etc.  My module is not nearly dynamic as it should be but could be a starting point.

I assume you know that agg2 items come in as "nodes" of type aggregator2_item.  What kind of functionality did you have planned to import nodes from feeds?

Sometime this week I'll be posting all this work to my sandbox (robroy) and will post here once I have done so.

Hello, Rob,

I saw this post on the Drupal development list, and I was curious because we were just about to start adding some functionality into agg2 -- literally, we are going to start coding on Monday -- some of the finctionality we are planning on adding includes the ability to import feeds as nodes -- basically, we are looking to develop some functionality within agg2 that allows people to move content between sites using rss feeds. We are planning on releasing all code we develop back to the community.

In the interest of not duplicating effort, would you be willing to talk about the functionality you added? If we are working on adding functionalithy that is similar/comparable, would you want to have a conversation about how we can help each other out?

Thanks,

Bill

I was thinking the same thing.  Great idea on centralizing feed parsing.  I'm really excited about some additions I've made to aggregator2 and tagadelic and I'll be sharing those soon.

username "budda" was doing a new project -- check cvs.drupal.org for  
aggregator_node or something like that. It uses the core aggregator  
to manage all feeds etc., and then just links them to node types.  
It's an interesting approach.
    

There is also *still* node aggregator. It works for 4.6 and we are getting it 
ready for 4.7. 
Budda and I decided to team up and develop a central, general 
feedparser.module API. 

I would love to see more people involved, because we would like to make this 
THE central feed parsing library over time.
