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'm sure i'm missing something with this. feedapi installed along with mapper, using common syn parser. create a new feed and items are coming in fine. when i edit the feed and select map there are dropdowns in the edit mapping section but the elements that the mapper have offered to map to a custom field do not match the ones in the feed. all feeds from different sources have the same list; title:, description:, options->original_author:, options->timestamp:, options->gui:, options->tags:, and options:. i do have a few of these but there are others available in the feed (like just author) that are not available.
i assumed this module scanned through the feed and pulled out the available elements. is that correct?

capellicI am having a similar issue. I am seeing the following mapping elements:
options->original_author->name
options->original_author
options->tags
I am seeing two options in the drop-down box. The same two options appear in all three drop-downs. One field is of type video_cck_module. The other is of type content_module.
Am I also not supposed to see taxonomy fields? I am using Content Taxonomy Views and I am storing values in both CCK and in taxonomy, so I would think it would show up for mapping?

fluxline commentedi should have updated this before. i changed from common to simple parser and i was then able to see the other fields in the feed. as for your second issue, i don't know about Content Taxonomy Views, but i don't think mapper will map elements from a feed to taxonomy, only cck fields on a node.

alex_b commentedcommon_syndication parser doesn't expose raw feed item elements. Re assigning to FeedAPI. Not planned for 5.x, pushing to 6.x.
