feeds not aggregated

This is strange, four things come to mind.

1. Go to the aggregation settings page

q=admin/settings/aggregation

make sure the Aggregation Feed Types drop down is set to "Aggregation Feed Types"

2. Make sure when you create a feed you choose the correct XML type (RSS, ATOM, RDF, etc)

3. Just double check the options you specified when creating the feed. Espcially those dealing with item aging.

4. Could the feeds contain data older than the aging you provided when creating the feed? Something like this would result in the items being aggregated and deleted on the same cron run.

Let me know if any of the above helped.

1. "Aggregation Feed Types" is the only one no other option and by default is selected.

2. All the feeds that I tried are RSS and RSS20 is chosen from the option

3. time to live is 0 (which is never expire)

4. no feeds with data older than the age I think setting zero can avoid that I also tried other options like 15. Also tried different news sources which normally generate new feeds every day.

One disparity that I see is the node name feed is defined by the feedapi module as well so I have to carefully choose between the two when going to create >> content. My first installation is feedapi and if the name feed is also a program node type name this might create some conflict-just guessing. Other than that I do not see why it is not working.

Well, this is strange. I never tried to install feedapi and the aggregation module side by side. The problem is definitely not related to the aggregation module as it's working on many sites.

Please check the watchdog logs, they should almost always have some useful log messages if the problem is from within the aggregation module itself.

There is no any error watchdog logs related to aggregator module. I will install and run aggregator module in a fresh install of durpal and see how it works.

I enabled aggregation in a fresh Drupal install but still can not aggregate feeds.

I am seeing the same behaviour: feeds remain empty (tried both RSS20 and RDF10). I can manually create feed items, parent node "fid" seems ok in aggregation_item, but even manually created items do not show up in feed. No feedapi installed. I am using the Domain suite. Could you please rule out a problem similar to the one described in http://drupal.org/node/227401 ? I don't see anything obvious in watchdog or httpd log. Anything else that I could do to track the problem? Thank you.

I'm also having the same issue. Aggregation module is the only "feed" module installed.
Still searching the internet for a solution.

Ditto. Aggregation is the only feed module installed on a fresh install of 6.3. I get occassional feeds that Aggregation simply refuses to read. Every other feed reader displays them fine- FireFox, Google Reader, even IE7. Here is the feed URL I am trying to pull in:

http://www.trulia.com/rss2/for_sale/Ashdown%2CAR%3BForeman%2CAR%3BHope%2...

This is just one feed of many that have not worked. I have several other feeds that work fine, but occassionally some just won't work. When I add this feed in Drupal, I get no errors. When I update manually, I get, "There are new items..." but the feed page shows 0 items.

This was my problem:

3. Just double check the options you specified when creating the feed. Espcially those dealing with item aging.

4. Could the feeds contain data older than the aging you provided when creating the feed? Something like this would result in the items being aggregated and deleted on the same cron run.

My feed contained items that were older then the delete time set in the admin. Guess I just wasn't paying attention! ;)

I did try aggregating from the only provided feed in this thread and it was successful.

Closing.

Please double check the feed options you have and re-open if the problem still persists.

The issue I ran into when having issues getting it to work seem pretty stupid, but likely worth mentioning anyway:

I thought the authentication section was for authenticating to the feed, not to my drupal site. So, I left that section blank. When setting to my drupal credentials, the feeds loaded up fairly easily.

Also, I had to manually set the Feed Types taxonomy to the feed content type before assigning. I'd imagine there's a way to do this within the module.

I'm having a similiar problem where are no feed items being created from the feed. I'm running a completely fresh install of Drupal 5.15. Here's what I've done.
--Install Drupal 5.15 on a server running PHP 5.25, cURL support enabled
--Install module image-5.x-1.9.tar.gz
--Activated image
--Install views-5.x-1.6.tar.gz
--Activated views
--Install aggregation-5.x-4.8.tar.gz
--Activated aggregation
--At ?q=admin/settings/aggregation, made sure the field "Aggregation feed types" was set to "Aggregation feed types"
--Created a new feed via Create content > Feed

Clicked "submit" to these settings.

I ran cron manually at Administer > Logs > Status Report

Got a message saying, "Cron ran successfully"

Went to administer > Content management to see what was added. No feed items were created.

Checked watchdog. Got no error messages for the cron.

Am I missing something?

In my case, the problem was with Step #1:

1. Go to the aggregation settings page

q=admin/settings/aggregation

make sure the Aggregation Feed Types drop down is set to "Aggregation Feed Types"

When visiting this page, after making sure that the "Aggregation Feed Types" vocabulary was properly associated with the Feed & Feed Item content types, "Aggregation Feed Types" appeared in the dropdown as if set as default. However, in looking through watchdog, I saw this:

For some reason, aggregation's vocabulary is not set.Try visiting aggregation's settings to set it!

So I went back to the settings page and simply re-selected "Aggregation Feed Types" then hit submit, re-ran cron, and voila, everything working as it should.

Not sure how the "Aggregation Feed Types" got so borked--maybe my fault or maybe the default value isn't stored initially until you physically visit the settings page and hit submit, but going through these steps did indeed fix the problem for me.
