A Feeds parser plugin that extracts the title and content of a webpage using a PHP port of Readability.

Readability was originally developed as a Javascript bookmarklet to ease online reading by automatically extracting the content and title of a webpage, stripping out sidebars, advertisements, and other navigational cruft. The algorithm is now commonly found built in to the Safari web browser -- just look for the "Reader" icon that appears in the location bar when you browse to an article on a news site for an example of this in action.

This parser plugin provides three mapping sources for your Feeds importer: title, content, and image. Try using this plugin in combination with Feeds Self Node Processor and FileField Sources to automatically fetch the remote article's image to an image field on your target node.

To install, first install and enable Libraries >= 2.0, and download and copy Readability.php and JSLikeHTMLElement.php from here into sites/all/libraries/php-readability.
