Issue Summary

Thanks for all of the work on this module. I really enjoy using it with mobile apps for the blogging platform Tumblr to post mobile content while pulling the images into my Drupal sites.

Anyways, I just had a couple of ideas to see if anyone else might be interested in these features.

Feature Request:

1.) create a master "Feeds Content Grabber" module project

2.) proposed sub-modules for project:

  • "Feeds Emfield Grabber" (to pull embed code or video url and store in an Embedded Media Field and/or a text field according to class, id and/or HTML element)
  • Feeds Image Grabber (created as a submodule of the proposed "Feeds Content Grabber" project

*** Revised ***

Feature Request:

1.) create a master "Feeds Content Grabber" module project

2.) proposed sub-modules for project:

  • Feeds Emfield Grabber (to pull embed code or video url and store in an Embedded Media Field and/or a text field according to class, id and/or HTML element)
  • Feeds Audio Grabber (grabs mp3, ogg, aac and other audio files)
  • Feeds Video Grabber (grabs mp4, ogv, webm and other video files)
  • Feeds Image Grabber (created as a submodule of the proposed "Feeds Content Grabber" project)

The ultimate goal would be to make it simple for clients to post any Media to Drupal sites with their mobile phones using a mobile app and service like Tumblr (and to be able to grab the media files to host locally).

If it helps, the Mobile Media Blog module at http://drupal.org/project/mmb currently offers features similar to this and allows you to post media to your Drupal site via email or text message.

I will go ahead and post something similar in the Mobile Media Blog issue queue to see if there is any interest there as well.

Actually, it looks like the Feed Element Mapper project might be good for this http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_mapper

They are currently looking for a new maintainer.

Version:6.x-1.x-dev» 7.x-1.x-dev

feedapi_mapper turned into Feeds. :-)

Sure would love to see a generalized tag scraper API for Drupal.

It would definitely be nice to extend this to work for any file type, however maybe that is a 2.0 task.

My personal primary goal is to get a stable 1.0 version out first (based on the current code).
(That doesn't mean someone else can't work on a better 2.0 solution :))

Also, for more advanced parsing options for feeds check out http://drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser
