Job for PHP/SQL programmer: new module for filtering of news feeds

spawinter - May 5, 2009 - 22:44

Hello,

We need to extend the functionality of Drupal Core module called “Aggregator”. Let me just cite some text from here http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/aggregator:
“SITE ADMINISTRATORS can add, edit, and delete feeds … SITE ADMINISTRATORS can also tag individual feeds with categories, offering selective grouping of some feeds into separate displays.”

Now, we would like to extend this functionality by allowing registered VISITORS (not only admins) to have the same permissions. So there would be some kind of huge user contributed feed database and what is the most important, each visitor MUST have an option to set its own keywords for filtering, so he or she would only see the news ITEMS relevant to their interest!

To my knowledge there already exists a module for RSS news filtering:
http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_itemfilter
However only ADMINS can set up new feeds and it lacks a possibility to allow registered visitors to contribute new feeds. Another thing is that this module works only with FeedAPI module which is not a Drupal core module (at least not yet). Anyway, we can discuss pros and cons of extending this already available module.

For our project, there is no time limit, no deadlines, however:
- Module must be well written so that it would be compatible with the future Drupal core versions as much as possible.
- Must well integrate with other often used modules eg. Views, CCK etc.
These points are very important and successful candidate will have to prove the presence of necessary skills and experience for that.

Budget of the project is open for the discussion.

We have tried to discuss some concepts here too:

Sincerely,
Ateam ;)

The News Page module may be useful - keyword filtered feed items are nodes, so integrates with Views.
