Drupal RSS Feed parsing - For Podcasts
Fri, 01/01/2010 - 8:13pm
I have been rethinking my podcasts page on CatholicTuner.com. I believe I am going about it the wrong way?
I currently have a Content Type specific for Podcasts with fields for the logo, RSS fees, Title, Description and so on. That means that a user must enter all of the info into a node which then gets propagated to a Views page.
I don't know why I never thought of this, but I could just use the Aggregator built into Drupal to import all of this information right from the RSS feed. The problem I am having is how to parse the <image> element from the XML file while holds the url to the image logo of the feed.
If the feed has iTunes elements, can those be imported?

Using the Feeds module, you might be able to set all of this to import automatically... however you'd have to write custom importers (at least, for now) to parse the iTunes tags, as well as the image.
