having challenges using feeds_import in D7 to pull in a blogger xml feed and creating nodes from it.
My wife has a blog here: http://leapsmart.blogspot.com. and a Drupal 7 site here: http://www.leapsmart.org/.
the URL for the Blogger feed is : http://leapsmart.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default . I have been able to use
Feed Aggregator to pull the 22 blog posts onto a page which I can display on the website. What I would RATHER
do, however, is use Feed Importer to create 22 nodes each with the blog posts’ repsective Title, Pub date,
Author, URI, Content included which I can then pull into a view. So - I have created a new content type
(leapsmart blog feed) and a new Feed Import. Where I’m getting really stuck is the mapping. I just can’t seem
to get D7 to meaningfully and properly parse the XML file it finds here:
http://leapsmart.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default … Any ideas on how to get these nodes created properly,
so I can then create a view and a menu link, would be EXTREMELY HELPFUL and APPRECIATED.
My email is jfreeman at gmail if you want to take this off of IRC. Thanks very much in advance.
