As installed on my box I can add articles from feeds into a Channel, but not the hole feed. So (If I have this right) I need to select all the articles manually before they appear in a Channel. I can't just say that anything that arrives through this feed should appear in a particular channel.

Can this be done?

Feel free to point me in the right direction :-)

Unfortunately you can't add the whole feed. There are no immediate plans to implement this feature.

PS

This request is essentially the same as

"There are no immediate plans to implement this feature."

Guess I have to implement it myself then :-) Where is that PHP manual again?

Capability is already there in Drupal core to do what you want.

Add a taxonomy vocabulary called 'Channels' and then add terms to that vocabulary. Now enable the 'Channels' vocabulary for Feeds and there you have the ability to do what you want.

The problem is it won't be the same as MN's 'Channels'. I'm not sure why MN folks didn't just use the taxonomy module for this. Perhaps alex_b can elaborate.

e.g.

Channels->Blogs

Because Feed items' are flat database records (using Data module), not nodes.

So do you have suggestions on how to go around implementing this? Basically, the way I was expecting this to work was to be able to map feeds to channels (many to one) and then add tags to my channels so that new articles would inherit those tags automatically.

I saw channels a bit like "folders" are in my current RSS reader (liferea) which allows me to put some feeds in "world news", "tech news", "friends blogs" and so on. Is this how this should work?

Thanks for the eventual feedback...

You could enable Channel tags for the feed content type and then inherit tags from a feed to feed items. Related issue in Feeds: #632920: Inherit properties from parent feed node (taxonomy, author, OG, language) (not exactly what you need here as Managing News uses the Data processor, not the Node processor for storing items).

This should be possible now by tagging a feed. All feed items will be assigned that tag when they are imported. You can then use that tag to create a channel.
