should i tell the new feeditems contenttype to be a feed contenttype?? but thats not logical

I just fixed a really serious bug in the 1.3 version. Please grab the next daily -dev build and try that. And please use the content-types what the FeedAPI creates.

so do i uninstall and reinstall or can i just override the module folder and update as per normal

How soon does this this new build come online??

Maybe u can upload to rapidshare :D

please do a reinstall and delete feedapi content-types as well.
you can fetch it from CVS too just now:

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d feedapi -r DRUPAL-6 contributions/modules/feedapi

You do not need to mess with cvs anymore, the latest dev build, which is currently available, contains the fix.

    * 0 new item(s) were saved. 31 existing item(s) were updated.
    * Feed [BBC UK] BBC World News has been created.

Same problem here with version 6.x-1.3.

The Feed Refresh states:

"0 new item(s) were saved. 100 existing item(s) were updated."

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling FeedAPI many times too with no sucess.

By the way, what does this mean on the feedapi 6.x-1.x-dev Nightly development snapshot page (http://drupal.org/node/228443) ?

" FeedAPI Aggregator has been removed. It could be continued as a separate project."

forget it mate, go back to 1.2......

trust me, i have banged my head long enough to try help bugtrack this !

Reverted back to feedapi-6.x-1.2 and all feeds items are saved.

I had to revert back to an old copy of a fresh database to to this.

I also had to re-imput over 800 Taxonomy terms, 1,400 feeds, and reassociate the 800 Taxonomy terms with 1,400 terms.

This re-imputting process would have taken me over 30 hours (probably more) to redue, but thank god I wrote an Excel program that does the whole thing for me in minutes.

A Brief Outline of the Procedures (with cron turned off)
(1) Mass Imported the Taxonomy csv files into the website using the Taxonomy CSV import module.
(2) Mass Imported the FeedAPI OPML CSV file(s) [.xml ] using the FeedAPI module.
(3) Mass Recreated the missing feed urls via an feedapi.csv database table upload.
(4) Mass Imported the new term_node file (term_node.csv) into the Database Table (used for Taxonomy / node association).

Did you use the cross-feed deduping option?
Can you give me the feed URL? It's possible that in some cases there are duplicates detected, but there isn't.

Who are you asking the questions to?

I donr't know what you are asking.

aron novak’s picture

Sam308: The question is general, it's good if you can answer also :)

There is a feedapi settings:
Duplicates:
Check for duplicates only within feed
Check for duplicates on all feeds

Which one have you used?

About the second question:
Have you experienced that strange status message ("0 new item(s) were saved. 100 existing item(s) were updated.") at all of the feeds or only at some feeds? What kind of feeds have you used? Can you share here some feed URLs from the site? How many feed urls did you have on the site approx?
Which contrib modules was installed?

Question 1:
There is a feedapi settings:
Duplicates:
Check for duplicates only within feed
Check for duplicates on all feeds

Which one have you used?

Answer 1: I used: Check for duplicates only within feed

Question 2: Have you experienced that strange status message ("0 new item(s) were saved. 100 existing item(s) were updated.") on all of the feeds or only at some feeds?

Answer 2: I experienced this status message ("0 new item(s) were saved. 100 existing item(s) were updated.") on all of the feeds with FeedAPI version 6.x-1.3.

Question 3: What kind of feeds have you used?
Answer 3: They were event related feeds from craigslist.org, backpage.com and many other sites.

Question 4: How many feed urls did you have on the site approx?
Answer 4: 1,403 feeds and over 800 associated Taxonomy terms.

Question 5: Which contrib modules were installed?
Answer 5: At the time, I was only using the following 3 contributed modules:
feedapi, taxonomy_csv (taxonomy_csv-6.x-1.5), and taxonomy_vtn (taxonomy_vtn-6.x-1.0-rc6)

I experienced the problems using Feedapi version 6.x-1.3. I had to revert back to feedapi version 6.x-1.2 to get all feeds to save properly.

Another thing:
I notice that the "FeedAPI Import OPML" routine will import the following feed properties:

TITLE attribute of OPML entries as feed title
TEXT attribute of OPML entries as feed description

but the "Export all feeds as OPML" routine will only export the text and xmlUrl, but not the title.

By the way:
what does this mean on the feedapi 6.x-1.x-dev Nightly development snapshot page (http://drupal.org/node/228443) ?

" FeedAPI Aggregator has been removed. It could be continued as a separate project."

thats confusing everyone that notice LOL its still an aggregator but apparently it will aggregate feeditems into a node each, rather than list the items in one node
