RSS parser script [NodeBB]

@jac thanks. I think I’ve found a way to get the description of the YouTube video from the XML structure in the URL, but this may cause issues with other URLs that are in fact RSS and atom compliant.

I’ll look at this a bit more tomorrow.

Many thanks mate, looking forward to its release, it’ll really make a great difference importing match interviews, highlights etc.

[JAC]

@jac will this be published on the node forum too?

[phenomlab]

@jac Possibly. Ideally as a plugin though if that does happen

Fantastic! Can’t wait it will be a fantastic addition!

[JAC]

Does this plugin currently work fine but you’re trying to develop it to pull in descriptions otherwise it would be bad for SEO etc?

Is that right .

I’m looking forward to its release as you know .

[phenomlab]

@jac Yes, pretty much that. The only part left to develop is the feed you provided me. It’s structured differently meaning I have to fetch the data from a large array, and it takes time to identify which array key holds the specific string you want.

For other RSS and ATOM feeds it’ll work out of the box. However, it (currently) requires PHP and MySQL (as it was ported from Flarum) and ideally should be moved to native NodeJS and MongoDB. Sadly, work commitments mean I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to update all of this so inevitably, the release has been delayed.

Thanks for the update Mark, all sounds very interesting and of course promising, and I eagerly await it’s release .
