Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I installed feedapi and feedapi-mapper for a website I'm working on. I created a new content type called "Blog feed" for users to use to aggregate their external blogs into the Drupal site I'm building.
However, when I test adding a new "Blog feed", all feed items are created as story nodes, not blog nodes. I'm also using feedapi_inherit if that matters. I've tried setting the weight for the two processors different ways and nothing changes.
Other settings:
I'm using simplepie.
I've enabled Feedapi nod views but not Feedapi aggregator
I ran the simpletest for simplepie and all the test passed.
Any idea what the problem is?

simillibus commentedhaving the same issue, tho I'm not using feedapi-mapper.
All feed items are created as Story nodes, even tho I've set it for other node types (I've tried several, it always creates Story nodes instead).

aron novakCan you attach here the variable table of your Drupal installation? It'd be helpful to see the whole content-type settings.
Did you set up the content-type with "Refresh on feed creation" option? If yes, please try out without this option. It's a possible troublemaker.

kyle_mathews commentedMy feed content-type was originally set up with the "Refresh on feed creation" option but thinking that might be a problem, I disabled it without any effect.
Attached is the output from my variable table.

xerexes commentedSorry - I'm using the D.6 version not D.5 so scratch my comment.

aron novakWell, there is nothing wrong with the variable table. Two more things:
- please check out feedapi table / settings field to make sure that the content-type is set to blog.
- can you try it out with the dev package?

kyle_mathews commentedI tried the dev package and it worked! So something is wrong in the 1.0 version. I've attached a diff between the 1.0 feedapi.module and the dev version. Hopefully that'll help. Thanks Aron for your help debugging.

aron novakWell, that's great to hear! Here is why i have to release FeedAPI 1.1 soon! :) I mark this fixed, because the currently there is a workaround (upgrade) and the most recent version of FeedAPI (the -dev) works ok.
