Yahoo Pipe Tutorial- Convert RSS summary to RSS full feed

Damn man... Thanks a million for laying this all out on a silver plate!
I wanted to learn Yahoo Pipes for a long time but didn't feel like digging through the FAQ.

Anyway, Yahoo Pipes can be a really powerful tool for autobloggers and black hatters.

Thanks again.
 
managed with wizard rss and wprobot...but am not sure how to disable the links from the original article though
 
hmm.. why doesnt it grab <iframe> code? .. any solution to this or maybet other RSS importers (that import full content with images and all whats on the page)
thanks,
 
It has been several months that I try to follow this very good howto.

But i really can't find the correct "cutcontent from" to have full article in my feed.

Here is the website's feed i try to scrapp : avaxhome.ws/rss.xml

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks anyway for the time you took to write down this wonderful post/
 
Hi Sean
I was really pondering around with no help at all until i found your tutorial.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are instances when feed does not work correctly in version V1 of Yahoo pipes, but just changing the version to V2, it works.

I got the feed working the way it should be, but the regex module is not stripping the feed of its links.

Furthermore, i want to remove some text, such as some lines after title, like on date ------ by -------.
Is it possible too?
Please help me out on this one Sean.
 
How did you upgrade to v2. I clicked the upgrade to v2 button and then when it restarted it still says "This is running the v1 engine" .


Also I followed the steps given at the beginning of this thread and when I try to fetch info from the feed it returns "zero" results. I'm using WP-o-Matic.

If anyone has any idea, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Here's a pipe for articles*base and it grabs an image from flickr to go with it. I made it a long time ago. You need to put in the rss url and save it. It doesn't take the links out though. If you want to take links out put: <a href*.*> and </a> on two separate lines in the regex and replace with nothing. There's probably an easier way to do it, but it works for me.

Hey fantastic tutorial, Im surely going to try it out once I get home (usually just can glance throught threads while in office)..but your tut seems awesome. I tried Pipes but could never realy understand its significance.
 
Awesome job mate - thanks. I am hoping you can maybe help me - you mention using rexexp to remove the links in the feed you create ...

I want to replace the value in all the href tags in the article body generated in the feed with my own affiliate url - ie. replace "oldurl" with "newurl" in href="oldurl"
So I tried this :
href=[\"\'](http:\/\/|\.\/|\/)?\w+(\.\w+)*(\/\w+(\.\w+)?)*(\/|\?\w*=\w*(&\w*=\w*)*)?[\"\']

replaced with
href="myaffiliatelink"

but I can't see anything happening when I view the final output as an rss feed.

Can you perhaps give me a pointer here?
 
I would love to use this to my advantage, but I haven't got a clue on how to locate the unique markers.

Where can I start learning this so I can atleast recognize them? Is there any documentation about this?

Maybe someone here can compile a list of the most common markers, this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Awesome tutorial, I've been following it, got the feeds right (from TMZ)

This is my working feed from yahoo pipes

Code:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=7aed0351dcd2799044bac4a00dccbbb2&_render=rss

But when I put them on WP-o-Matic and click fetch, it wouldn't fetch anything at all, any idea why? Let me know, thanks!

There is a problem with WP-O-Matic... took me weeks to solve this but here you go... this will allow you to pull the feed when you hit "fetch"

There is a bug in Wordpress-o-Matic? here is how to fix it.

1. logon to Cpanel
2. click on PHPMYADMIN
3. On the left hand column find the database assigned to the blog you are currently working on.
4. Click on that database number
5. find? wp_wpo_campaign_feed
6. check the box by the title wp_wpo_campaign_feed
7. click on ?browse? (it is the icon in the first column)
8. click on the ?pen? icon to edit
9. look for &amp:_render=rss
10. take the ?amp:? out of the URL for each feed.
11. click go.
12. now go back to wordpress-o-matic and click FETCH IT NOW for each feed and it should work.

Seriously
 
Man! :D Tonnes of thanks for this tut. I know theres a Thanks button always but thats not enough to express my feelings. lol. This just enabled me to do much organised Autoblogging! :D :cheerlead :rofl:

- You stole that script from fivefilters.org
- You didn't mention their name
- Your trying to make profit of his script, you should support him so he can improve it
- You can't spell 'partial'
