The idea is to use the filtering capabilities of the news_page module to promote feedparser nodes to the front page. So you would setup a news_page node as normal but you could ckeck off a checkbox to say that you want to use the news_page to find and promote feedparser nodes. The promotion happens at cron time and you can specify how frequent you want the job to look for nodes to promote.
Obviously requires the feedparser module :)
Patch attached.

nathanraft commentedWould you be able to post your news_page.module and install files? I can not seem to get this patched working properly.
Thanks!

nathanraft commentedNevermind I got it working.
Pretty neat but as you mentioned you had a specific need. For me I would really like the ability to use the news_page the orriginal way but with nodes. If you see it through to make a version that does only nodes as the code behind choosing between the types could get trickly then that would be great.

publishing commentedHello,
We are seeking a solution to display RSS feeds on our homepage, by category, and have been reviewing the News Page/Feedparse combination and seeking a bit of clarification
News Page is a content filtering module which requires an aggregator to function. Aggregators prior to feedparse(Aggregator/Aggregator2), aggregated content by category, but had no real filtering mechanism, thus the necessary combination of News Page/with the Agg & Agg2 aggregators. aggregators.
The aggregators, Feedparse seems to have a "tagging" capability which allows it to not only aggregator content, but also to "tag" content, as well.
??-- With the use of the aggregator, Feedparse, and its content "taggging" capability, is News Page and its "filtering" function still necessary? or can Feedparse be utilized on a standalone basis to filter and display content?
Thanks,

robert castelo commentedWouldn't Views be a better solution for this?
