No link back to original article.

Please download the new release and let me know if it solves the problem.

When creating a feed, there's one drop down that points to the feed type you're aggregating from. This should be fixed at RSS20 if you're aggregating from RSS 2.0, it seems you mistakingly understood that this is where the items will go under, which is not the case.

As to the terms you'd like to assign your aggregated items to, you need to create vocabularies for your "Feed Items", then you will get more drop downs to assign your aggregated items to when creating feeds. This is probably where you should have added "Target" in. Hope this clears things up. Let me know if you face any problems.

Hi all,

I'm posting my question here instead of creating a new support request. The title of this request pretty much matches my issue.

I installed aggregation and everything seems to be working fine. I've setup about ten feeds, all of which are aggregating correctly.

My problem is that the node titles in the teasers do not link directly to the original articles even though I have checked "Link items to URLs". My understanding is that that selecting this checkbox would convert the destination link of all teaser titles and 'read more' hyperlinks to the original article.
Am I mistaken?

I have also enabled the "aggregation views" module and was expecting to see an option of adding a field with the feed item title linked to the original article. No such luck.

Please advice on the two issues I'm facing:
1) Node titles and 'read more' links in the teaser do not link to original article
2) Aggregation views does not have a field for seamlessly linking back to the original article (short of creating a list view and then modifying the template).

Thank you,
Peter

Actually, clicking "read more" or the node title still points to the article's page, nothing changes here by checking "Link items to URLs".

What does change is that you should find a new hyper link Inside the article's full page view called "original article" that points to the original URL. If you don't see it, then either the feed is lacking original urls, which is unlikely but possible, or the links are not printed out in the theming layer, which is also possible.

As to the aggregation views, this is not yet released, we need to test it a little more. So I really don't know how functional it is. I'll take care to keep a lookout on the issue you raised below when working on it. Let me know if I've answered your questions or if you have anything else in mind.

thanks for the precision about the way it works with the 'link to original' box checked.
i am wondering if i can have the link appears also directly on the teaser?

thanks,

You can have link directly on teasers, but it requires hack.

Change:

function aggregation_link($type, $node = NULL, $teaser = FALSE)
{
	$links = array();
	if (!$teaser && $type == 'node' && $node->type == 'aggregation_item')
		if ($node->link_to_original_url == 'yes' && valid_url($node->url, TRUE))
			$links[] = array(
				'href' => $node->url,
				'title' => t('Original article'),
				'attributes' => array('class' => 'aggregation-link')
			);

	return $links;
} 

to:

function aggregation_link($type, $node = NULL, $teaser = FALSE)
{
	$links = array();
	if ($type == 'node' && $node->type == 'aggregation_item')
		if ($node->link_to_original_url == 'yes' && valid_url($node->url, TRUE))
			$links[] = array(
				'href' => $node->url,
				'title' => t('Original article'),
				'attributes' => array('class' => 'aggregation-link')
			);

	return $links;
} 

There are plans to add additional checkboxes in configuration page for this but we need some more time to finish rewriting the module.

niiiiice!
thanks a lot
i will try this hack as soon the kids will be sleeping

working like a charm :)
