I'm using CCK Tabs and I have feeds set on a separate tab. I don't know if this effects anything, I doubt it though.

1. When I add a feed, it gives me 10 items. As soon as I run cron.php, all the fields disappear. When a user views a feed attached to a node, it should display the lastest feeds since the last update. All feeds are removed and gives the user no feeds. Is this by design? I'm not sure if running cron manually effects this either. I also haven't been able to check if new feed items are added after the feed is updated.

2. All nodes with feeds are shown as "Updated" in admin/content/node and reorders nodes in views when sorted by updated date. Is there anyway to not have the entire node updated or just embed the feed into the node? More of a feature request I guess, but embedding and displaying rss feeds I think would be great. For updating nodes, the feeds module does just that.

http:// site . com/admin/settings/feed_field/test

NODE 13 [nodetitle] (nodetype) status=1 lastchange=1284496259 (Sep 14 at 4:30pm)
Current time (1284496600) - lastchange (1284496259) = 341 seconds. Update_frequency =
Cron frequency may be too low. If this was a real cron job, I would refresh this feed.
Then I would UPDATE {feed_field_settings} SET modified='1284496600' (Sep 14 at 4:36pm) WHERE nid=13 AND delta=0
Then I'd UPDATE {node} SET changed='1284496600' WHERE nid=13

It's a really great module, can't wait to see it's future development.

Am facing the same problem, were you able to find a work around this problem?

Nope, unfortunately. I've decided to hold off on this feature until there's a fix, or if it's an intended function, I'll stick with feeds api. CCK feeds just seem perfect for my situation. I'd like to display a company's feed in my website's company database. If I'm doing something wrong, I'll surely post if I find a solution.

You haven't set any update frequency.

I've noticed same behavior as 1 above. I set update time of 6 hours

Looks like all the feed items are deleted and then refreshed on every cron. I think I'm either going to change it so old items aren't deleted or remove the duplicate feed item checking code.

EDIT: seems to be working now after my change
