Is it possible to automatically assign a taxonomy term based on feed source? I have over 30 different feeds and would like to use views to slice up the data based on the taxonomy term that I provided. Note, I don't mean the category defined in the feed itself.

Example:

Feed A -> tags term A in feed-item (Terms A&B would be part of the same Vocabulary)
Feed B -> tags term B in feed-item

Otherwise, I think I would have to setup multiple cck definitions per feed source and this seems pretty cumbersome. I think that would be 60 CCK definitions and 30 feed importer definitions as opposed to just 2 cck definitions and 1 feed importer definition.

Thoughts?

Hey, did you ever get this to work? I'm having trouble assigning taxonomy by source. I can do it by author, but it just doesn't seem to "take" for the source.

Assuming you have a separate import per feed, you could set up a dummy field (one not expected in the source feed) and use Feeds Tamper to set it to a different value in each import.

For example: if you had three imports, scraping from BBC News, Yahoo and MSN, you could set up a field in each one called "Source feed" mapped to your "source" taxonomy field. In the BBC import rewrite this to "BBC", in Yahoo's import rewrite it to "Yahoo", etc.

I think if you're scraping from a remote field or URL, Feeds Tamper will provide you with a specific dummy field, "Blank Source" or something?
