Creating a content type of 'Feed' does not work, however Feed (Lightweight items) does. When submitting the form to create the Feed content type, I get forwarded to the page as if it worked, however when I edit it, the 'Feed URL' field is empty.

I am experiencing the same issue on a clean Drupal 5.10 install

What processor do you use?

I'm having the same problem. It creates a node that you can see if you go into "content" but the url is not saved and nothing is generated. It doesn't even show up in the feed list and I'm not even seeing the refresh/delete menu items anymore.

This was on a fresh install of Drupal 5.10 and I haven't enabled other modules yet. I even tried one where I used the feedapi 1.2 version and that doesn't work either now.

Using SimplePie.

(I decided to try a fresh Drupal 5 install since I was having this same issue with the FeedAPI in Drupal 6, although I have it running successfully on both 5 and 6 sites I installed a few months ago. ????)

Same issue. Empty 'Feed URL' line.

Changing the weight of SimplePie Parser to -15, under Content Types --> Feed,
seems to have fixed problem. No idea why.

This issue is fixed in the latest -dev package. I'll make a new release soon.
It was because the feedapi default content-type was totally faulty.

Thanks, Aron. Will give it a try. :)

I had the same problem avobe. I have just installed 5.x-1.x-dev and the problem persists: the feed url is not stored and, thus, no feeds can be added.

I am using:

Common syndication parser
FeedAPI Inherit
FeedAPI
FeedAPI Node

Have you installed the -dev on a clean new site or just replace the files?
You should install it on a new site, or at least delete the content-types and uninstall all Feedapi module

Yes, I have this problem as well and it's driving me crazy. It seems that as long as Drupal can access a feed the very second I add it into the system, then it loads all the items and retains the URL in the 'Feed URL' field. Otherwise, it says 'Feed Added' but does not collect any feed items, and it trashes the URL. It's very frustrating. Occasionally if I come back at some later point and either (a) input the feed url again or (b) delete the entry for the feed altogether, and then add it again, I MIGHT just get lucky, and the feed loads. Otherwise it's just days of trying! Please keep us posted as to when this will be fixed. We are using 5.10 and it's a squeaky clean new build, just for this purpose!

What's the best course of action for someone with a thousand or so feed items they would like to keep?

Reloading an old database (prior to 1.3) and adding all the changes between would take quite some time

Therefore I feel the best option is to export nodes, delete content type(s), import nodes

Is http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi a good option for this or would someone like to recommend something else?

Thanks

#8: Aron Novak: I had only overwritten files and run update.php. After uninstalling the module and installing it again it started to work as expected. Thank you
