Description
I follow the instructions to, "Next add RSS feeds by creating a Feed node for each RSS feed." I go to, Create Content, Feed, add a title, add the rss feed, "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=us&q=triathlon&ie=UTF-8&nolr=1&output=rss" and save it.
Here's the error I get:
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /path_to_site/sites/all/modules/feedapi/feedapi.module on line 1276.
Now there are two content types of "Feed". One is created by Feedapi_node and one created using feedapi. The one using feedapi_node has no place to enter a url for a feed.
Any ideas?
I think I'm getting closer...

#1
I've rebuilt it three times and getting the same error following your instructions explicitly. Any ideas?
#2
Have you tried a different RSS feed not from Google? To my recollection, FeedAPI doesn't parse google news feeds. I don't know if the problem is with Google for using a non-standard format or if it's a quirky bug in FeedAPI.
#3
yes, I did try different feeds. I even tried just installing feedapi and adding feeds before installing memetracker because feedapi took the feeds fine, without error, then.
Than I would go back and edit the necessary settings after installing memetracker. When I did, it threw the same error.
#4
Huh, weird. So you can confirm that FeedAPI is downloading feed items and creating nodes? Are you using simplepie? This doesn't sound like a memetracker error since the error being thrown is in the feedapi.module
#5
I did some more testing and am using FeedAPI 6.x-1.3. It turns out I am receiving that error without/before adding memetracker.
I am not alone in this either - http://drupal.org/node/311814 - though my aggregator works fine using the same rss feed.
What version of feed api do you use? Thanks.
#6
I'm using FeedAPI 6.x-1.3 with the FeedAPI, FeedAPI Node, and SimplePie Parser modules enabled. Re-reading your original issue -- did you create a different node type for feed items? There should be two node types for FeedAPI -- Feed, which holds the feeds, and Feed Item, which FeedAPI uses to create nodes for each item that comes through a feed.
#7
Yes I did. So I went back and added the requirements one by one. First Feed API & Feed API node. Then I tried to add a feed, that where it threw an error, before adding memetracker or machinelearning.
So, I assume I need FeedAPI working before your module will work. That's why I started the issue on http://drupal.org/node/311814
Thanks.
