I seem to be having an issue with the use of a logo for tagging the feed.

Back in the Aggregator2 days, I had things set up, so feeds had their own logo published each time new content was sucked into drupal. i.e:

TITLE of Post
LOGO
Meta Information like author, etc
--
Story

However, despite setting the direct URL to my feed logo, it refuses to show up when I leech the data. I have fiddled with this for a day or so, and it's really frustrating, because there is nearly no documentation for leech, or any of aggregator2 replacements for 5.1.

My question is: does this feature work, and if so, how do I get it to do so? Does the logo need to be a directory relative URL, or a full URL? This is a pretty critical issue for me, as the format & flavor of the site sort of depends on the instant visual this feature gives.

Is there anything I am missing? I have started from scratch numerous times, trying to solve this, following the Readme to the letter, to no avail. If you need any information from me, feel free to ask. I will give you whatever you need from my side of the fence, if it will help rectify the issue.

TIA. =)

Have a look at the DB, can you find the correct URL to your logo in the leech_news_feed table?

Yes indeed, its there. (in the DB) But for some reason just wont show up. As I said, any other info you need, let me know.

Version info:
Drupal 5.1
MySQL 5.0.37
PHP 5.2.1

yep, no logo shown here too.. seems leech recognizes the logo path when i add my feeds, but then the logo does not appear anywhere.

I'm on Drupal 4.7 with latest version of leech, and using stories as leech nodes and pages as leech feeds.

Any hint apreciated! thx

The logo URL is loaded alongside with other data into the $node->leech_news object. It is not used on the standard presentation of a leech node.

Try adding this to your node.tpl.php:

if ($node->leech_news->logo) {
  print '<img src="'.$node->leech_news->logo.'" />;
}
