Hello, I have looked through the documentation, but hope you can bear with me as I am still a bit confused as to how to set this up. I have 2 content types
1) feed - to add feeds
2)feed item - I created to turn feed items into nodes

What FeedAPI settings do I use for each to get things rolling? I am running PHP 5. Could you list what I should enable or not for each content type? that would be great. I am new to this, so your help would be wonderful. I am a bit confused over which content type is the parser and which should be the processor. I have enabled "feed item" to be the content used by the "Feed" content type.

-Is a Feed Content Type
-Default Settings
-Parser Settings
-Processor Settings

It was confusing to me too.

  • You either need the PHP5 XML parser and/or the SimplePie parser module active. So turn on at least one of them.
  • Next edit your FEED ITEM and select either of the two parsers in the Parser settings fieldset
  • Then turn to your FEED and enter the URL of the feed you want to get and choose your FEED ITEM contenttype in the Processors fieldset.
  • Now you can MAP the feed elements if you have the feed element mapper installed.

Hope that gets you off the ground.

Hello, I have run into a problem that I cannot find addressed anywhere...

My feed is not pulling in the entire content. I have been trying to set up a craigslist feed for real estate. The feed stops after the block of content and just before the "read more" link. I tried loading the feed with the direct link to the search results but I get the same result.

I have tried un-restricting all html tags but it did not change the result.

Can anyone tell me how to pull in the full listing feed from a site. I want to be able to map the listings address which is a part of the "read more". I will then use this in a block or as points on a map.
