Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

I'm using feedparser, but I'm open to anything else if its incapable of this. I want to bring in feeds and convert them to nodes (this is working).

But I want different feeds to be in different vocabs: Feed 1 should be automatically in vocab 1, feed 2 in vocab 2, etc.

The end result will be several feeds broken out into views, then displayed in the panelblock module in the tabs format.

The "feed nodes into vocab" issue is seemingly the only kink in this setup I have encountered.

Thanks in advance.

Goto

Administer/ContentManagement/Categories

Edit the Vocabularies you would like to be able to associate with one or more of your feeds, and under "Types" enable the "News Feed" content type.

Then Goto

Administer/ContentManagement/News Aggregator

Edit your individual news feeds and you will now see fields to enter your required Taxonomy 'Term' for the enabled vocabularies.

For example http://test.lace.me.uk/?q=taxonomy/term/5 (the taxonomy block "Cancer Topics" is on the left and if you select "Treatment" then "Gene Therapy" you will see content from a different news feed)

In my case they are going to different terms in the same vocab. But there is nothing stopping you allocating them to terms in different vocabs.

Thanks for the info, I had actually already explored that. I've set the vocabs to either all the content types or just the aggregator-item content type. In both cases, going into the feed settings gives me this option:

You can automatically use tags defined in this feed to categories your nodes as they are created. To do this you need to create a vocabulary and assign it to the aggregator-item content-type.

I assume this is where the option to assign a vocab to a feed would be, but all I get is the error message.

I'm wondering if it is a 5.x module problem. The feedparser module page states there are problems with 5.x and to not post bugs for that version. I was hoping this was an old message, but possibly not.

Its not a big deal to do a fresh install and see if it fixes the problem, but I'd like to see if I'm just missing something first.

When editing the individual News Feed sources ignore the section about categories at the bottom, it's not just broken it is also redundant.

Instead, look higher up in the source edit screen (possible just before the "Advanced" setting heading) for Category entries that you have allocated to the feedparser's node type (as per my previous post). Then just add the term into the visible categories input field that you wish to allcocate the feed to.

I believe I'm looking in the right place, as I've scoured the entire settings page with no luck. I've uploaded a screenshot to:

http://www.wrestlespace.com/sandbox/screenshot.jpg

I tried a fresh install of the feedparser module, deleted all the categories, and started from fresh. Nothing changed.

I'm still thinking it may be a problem with the 5.x module, as I looked in the versions and there are two 5.x versions, and both have disclaimers stating they are not finished, the latest one being in May.

The only problem with this theory is that it seems it is working for other members, including Mr. Bryan who is trying to help me.

A little more info, this is just a sandbox site, I have a few other modules installed (panels, panelsblock, drupalit, and jstools) but they don't appear to be affecting the feedparser.

Thanks.
