Description

I have installed SimpleFeed onto the site http://spoken.co.nz. I intend this to be a podcast aggregator where users can listen to podcasts using a built in mp3 player or subscribe to various feeds directly from the site. It seems as though SimpleFeed reads the feeds OK and parses the enclosure. What I can't figure out how to do is customise the view that gets displayed on the feed item. I would like to show a player and also a download link similar to http://odeo.com. I'm very new to Drupal and I can't seem to find out where I should be looking. Any pointers would be great.

PS: This looks like this will be a great module. better than anything else I have seen to date.

Hi. I am thinking how to patch the simple module to work with the video CCK module and parse the videos.

I am very new on this, but i have checked that the url in a youtube rss is the link to the video that i use in the Video CCK module.
It is easy to create a new cck content to the simplefeed_item called video. At this point i only need to add a code line in the simplefeed module to copy the url into the field_video.
I have never made something like that so i am not sure if that is possible.
I managed to find the code in the simplefeed_item.module but i am not sure what to do now. I only managed to get the first letter of the url copy inside the video_field, the h, but nothing more.

Please tell me if is it possible to do something like that.
Thanks

Enclosure support would be great, considering simplepie will handle it already.... maybe in the meantime we can do something with googtube module that turns links to youtube pages into embedded code... all you would have to do is pass the url variable to the node.. check out googtube module for more info. I would be very interested in this if someone managed to get this working.

cheers
tim
