I am importing an extremely simple feed - title | description | georss:point.....is it really the case that one simple data cannot be extracted and mapped to an appropriate target? The module works great but I can't believe there is no way to make use of that common data....

Has anyone been able to make this work or have I missed something scraping through these issue boards....

Thanks in advance.

Do you use common syndication or simplepie parser? Can you post (a sample of) the feed?

I have tried both. No matter what settings I choose the is never visible to the parser or processor.

The feed looks like this -

<item><title><![CDATA[Example Title]]></title><description><![CDATA[Example Description]]></description><link>http://examplelink.com/example</link><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:31:55 EST</pubDate><guid>http://example.com/date</guid><georss:point>39.2943 -76.6143</georss:point></item>

thanks

alex-

I am hoping - based on your first response that I have in fact simply over looked something. This data is critical to the project and is really at a stand still unless I can figure out how to do something meaningful with the georss point.

Hoping someone has some insight - or experience - here....

Thanks again -

Ok I finally figured it out - for everyone's information - the latest version of SimplePie has a regression and will not work - use version 1.13. Now.....to figure out why I can't actually map the data I can finally see to a useful location...

Title: No georss : point import.....really? » SimplePie > 1.13 does not parse GeoRSS

#4 - did you open/find an issue on http://github.com/rmccue/simplepie/issues ?

Yes, after much investigation that is where I found it - not related directly to Drupal but noted as a regression related specifically to that tag/data. I posted here just for FYI purposes in case anyone else picked up this module and did what I did which was use the latest .inc file. If I have a moment I will try and find the specific link again and post it for info purposes.....

BUT-you changed the title of the post incorrectly - I said that you SHOULD use Version 1.13 and NOT 1.2....

Thanks-

Care to post a link to the specific issue?

This is where it started - http://github.com/rmccue/simplepie/issuesearch?state=open&q=georss#issue/53

As I said - not directly related - but the result was the same. 1.2 does not work (at least for me) 1.13 does.

Hello!

I am trying to use the Location Feeds mapper. It is exactly what I was looking for. I am importing images from Flickr that have a tags like this:

    <woe:woeid>55805688</woe:woeid>
  </entry>

However, when I go to Map it on the Feeds config page, I see there is a new Target field that I presume I need to use called: location module:locations georss:point , but there is no Source field with GEORSS ... Which SOURCE field do I use to map this??

I read above that the simplepie parser should pick these up, but they are not. I tried downloading 1.13. I don't have the georss source fields available in the mapping drop down...

Any help would e greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Doesn't anyone have any ideas on the questions I asked above???

I actually ended up going to back to FeedAPI and using the FeedAPI_mapper module to directly map elements.
