Description
The first source that I entered worked fine but afterwords each additional source had every term in the feed catagory applied to each one even though they were not checked off upon feed creation.
#1
Can you explain this further?
#2
Well the module is set up to automatically pull terms from the sources and add it to a taxonomy group called feed categories. what is happening is that every single term the the taxonomy group is being assigned to the newly aggregated nodes. Even when they are not checked off to do so when you create the feed.
here is an example
http://www.pixel-vortex.com/content/transparent-desktop
there is only supposed to be 2 or 3 taxonomy terms assigned to it but it got every single term in the category.
#3
I'm pretty sure the problem is somewhere else. I tried this with as many scenarios that I can think of without problems.
In the feed that pulled in this item you linked me to, do you have "aggregate categories" checked?
If not (aggregate categories NOT checked), then only the checked categories should get attached to the newly created feed items. Make sure you have only the categories you desire checked.
If so (aggregate categories checked), then the only explanation is that all these tags were found for this item and naturally, the item was linked to them. This would be a natural behavior. If you don't want that to happen, uncheck "aggregate categories".
#4
I do have it checked. However the interesting thing is, these same articles dont get all those terms if they are the very first source I use as a feed. But once more then one source is added then it seems to give it every single term.
#5
In general the best way to go about this is to check this item inside the feed, are there category tags? If there are, weather it's the first feed or not, as long as "aggregate categories" is checked for the feed, the internal categories would get aggregated and attached to the item.
Notice that the internal categories are per item, not per feed, so an item might not get attached to a taxonomy while another could inside the same feed.
I need more information on this, the URL of the feed, access to the drupal installation, or you can attach the feed here for me to check.
