Porting old autotaxonomy module for leech

I just found a bunch of these in my watchdog log:

<code>Message error passing on terms to node - error saving new term

It doesn't provide any more info on why/how it's failing, though...

what are the categories your feed and your feed item node types are associated with?

It's now storing the categories I've added to the Feed node to each Item node added. But, it's not inheriting the categories that are set on the original blog post. So, I add a Feed node for my blog, add it to keywords "calgary" and "education" - all Item nodes added for blog posts aggregated from that source all have "calgary" and "education" - but not the categories included in the RSS feed for those items.

In aggregator2 that feature was called autotaxonomy

Very use full and power full feature, many sites used that extensively. Basically it was creating new taxonomes based on "category" found in incoming feeds. Are there any hopes to port that into leech module?

BTW thanx for good work dev seed !

It would be great to have this function in he leech module. I tried the yahoo term extractor service and i'm not convinced it will do the job as 9/10 times it does not seem to select the important terms for a story.

For the site I'm planning to build it would be more useful if the service could simply grabb the categories that people added to their posts themselves.

I'm willing to donate some money for this functionnality and to test it as well, anyone interested in having a look at this?

Thanks

Well I lauched a call for a bounty here :

If anyone is interested, like the maintainer of this module, it would be great to get this rolling quite soon!

I think this would be pretty useful for advanced technorati-like aggregators!

The component is leech, as leech_news is part of leech as of 1.2.

Extracting category tags from within the RSS/Atom feed and assigning them to a taxonomy item is a feature of Feedparser also. I've tried every aggregation method available in Drupal and each has its shortcomings. Autotaxonomy is an obvious one for Leech, which otherwise is an excellent module. Most feed sources contain category tags in each item, so to me it would seem an essential option to be able to use them in any mature aggregator module.

Yahoo term extraction is useful but not the same thing. Most blog authors use category tags to help others identify likely content. A good news aggregator needs to be able to pass these tags to a taxonomy.

Is leech_feed_taxonomy not doing what you expect it to do?

I've had no luck with getting del.icio.us feed tags to come in using leech_feed_taxonomy... anybody else make progress bringing in rss tags/categories with a drupal feed aggregator, particularly leech? here's my description of the issue

THANKS!

leech_taxonomy module creates terms from embedded feed item tags.

There are issues like: http://drupal.org/node/171938 - please open additional issues if there are other problems with leech_taxonomy.

This issue is closed.

I enabled the module and it seems I cannot select any activ vocab to put the terms into... is there any HOWTO on how to setup autotaxonmy or leech?
Thanks

I installed the module and it seems that it won't let you select a vocab that is already created, you seem to need to create a new one to be able to put terms in it. I also tried to grab some tags from a leeched drupal blog and no tags were added to the vocab, so this module does not seem to work. Is there anything special I need to do for it to start grabbing tags?

Thanks
