Description

The feed title is currently keyed as UNIQUE. Does it have to be? I'm aggregating a lot of feeds and the moment and I'm finding edge cases where the title of the feed is a duplicate but the URL is unique....

As an example, Gene Expression (http://www.scienceblogs.com/gnxp/ and http://www.gnxp.com/blog/) - same title, slightly different content.

Yes the titles can be changed manually but it'd be nice to be able to call the save_feed function from elsewhere in Drupal (to, say, read in an OPML file or sync with Bloglines etc. etc.)

At present the database tables are based on the Drupal Core system, which has enforced these rules.

I'll look at removing this limitation soon.

Fixed in CVS. Be sure to run update.php to alter the dbase table to remove the restriction.
