In reply to: [RSS Post Importer] Brainstorming Thread – Make Suggestions here !Hi There! Very interesting plugin! I found it quite useful. Anyway I had to make some changes into it, and I am also finding some problems (bugs ?) that you may be interested in knowing:
Changes:
1) I wanted to reformat each post title into “rss title” plus the date. You provide some rudiments for reformatting the post itself, but not the title.
2) I wanted to change some characters on the rss content. For example whenever I get a dot “.” I would replace it for a dot + “
” … So maybe it would be nice to add five or six “original text” – “replacement” fields on the settings interface.
3) bug ? If I correctly understand, your plugin watches for older posts with the same title in order not to publish the same RSS post twice ? I got it imported twice anyways, even with the rss having the exact same title and link.
4) rss import timing … “once a day” … when ? The rss I am importing into my website as posts creates a new set of news everyday at 7 AM … and I have no control about that. It would be nice to establish a specific time of day, so the rss import can be triggered from that time, and later.
5) This is a nasty bug: I can see that the rss has new posts, but when I press SAVE AND IMPORT on your plugin, it keeps importing the OLD RSS, as if it was cached somehow. So no new posts, only the same old rss reposted.
That is it. I am yet trying to modify even more your plugin in order to “fix it” for me, but it would be nice if you could add / modify it, provided you find my input useful.
