RSS Import - picture link for each item

Friday 20 May 2011 3:56:23 am

Hi,

I need to define a RSS structure to be imported in eZ Publish where I want to be able to retrieve a picture URL for each feed item (article).

The RSS spec defines an <image> element that can only be used for the whole feed channel and not for each item.

I've read different strategies for implementing this in RSS but I don't think I can use any of these as an input for eZ Publish with the standard RSS Import feature.

The list of item fields that can be mapped to object attributes seems to be hard coded to:

• title
• link
• description
• author
• category
• comments
• guid
• pubdate

I can't find any valid way of doing this with standard methods, has anyone here already solved this and how ?

Thanks for your help,

Kevin

Thanks for your reply Alex ;-)

Not exactly the kind of answer I expected though (sure, there are ways to code it ourselves), but a SQLIimport handler could be a nice starting point if we don't want to start from scratch.

If anyone knows an existing extension capable of doing this, please let me know!
