Yahoo Pipe Tutorial- Convert RSS summary to RSS full feed

The feeds at the major sites are stuffing their adsense and banner BS in - surely to thwart our efforts ... however a regex to strip that out would be deliscious ...
 
Here is a link to an AP News feed I just created. This Pipe will strip any script tags, a href links, and div tags. So the output will be pure text with no ads. If you are having trouble with your own feeds, use this as an example.

Code:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=9080e5040c92ecd1589e881fe77770eb

Something may have changed this. This pipe now just posts links with article titles.

When I try to use feedwordpress with the rss feed from pipes it keeps posting every single post from the feed instead of 1 at a time. Does anyone know how to get it to post 1 post at a time?

I noticed that result in some of the pipes being given as examples here.

I think you have to add a truncate function to the output somewhere along the line. But then, it seems to me that that would discard the rest of the it.

Maybe there is a way to add a character between the items of the feed that your blogging software can recognize to split up into separate posts?

Just a thought. Maybe someone more experienced can better describe the process.

This is a copy and paste from another site

http://www.sites.wooey.com/2010/01/yahoo-pipes-tutorial-for-full-feed.html

round of applause for this jackass,

I personally would have liked it to be kept to the more enterprising that are able to be inventive enough to find it themselves.

Oh well
 
I have been looking at this problem of not posting full RSS feeds. WizardRSS is another alternative to the problem.

WizardRSS - pulls full RSS feeds not just snippets.
In order to pull the full feed A user will prepend the feed URL with http://www.wizardrss.com/feed/.
Explanation: if an RSS feed URL is http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories, for example Replace the http:// with http://www.wizardrss.com/feed/ so that it will get the full RSS feeds. The resulting URL will be: http://www.wizardrss.com/feed/rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories and it should be displaying the full RSS feeds. This is from http://www.wizardrss.com/developers.php and works beautifully.

It might be nice however to be able to pull only items in the feeds relating to specific keywords. I would think Yahoo Pipes would be good for that.

Hope this helps,

ah, fine method. but this method are not really helpful. some pipes still have trimmed post. i think this method works wonderfully with xml feeds not atoms. i tried with atom and i can't parse the feed like G read er. only post links. i can't identify the probs but thanks anyway.
will work on this later.
 
Any way to use wizardrss and autoblogged to pull the images too??
 
I am having an issue using a Yahoo! pipes feed with Autoblogged.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=ca71ab0974418d27b0ba50e4f4316ebd&_render=rss

The feed is complete, but Autoblogged still only pulls the the excerpt.

I have also tried this feed with Feedwordpress, and it pulls the entire article, but I need the features of Autoblogged.

Anyone have an idea as to what the issue may be?
 
Here is my frist pipe

This is an awesome tutorial. I'll mess around with it a bit and hopefully I can get some of my auto-blogs looking better. Thanks for sharing!
 
Very nice, I didn't know about this :)

I'd also suggest the regex rules '<script[^>]*>.*?</script>' to replace script tags and maybe '<[/]?div[^>]*>' to replace <div> tags.

But I'm actually unable to get the Regex module working anyway.
Step 10
...To the right of that, change the dropdown for "results to" to item.description. This is where the full content is swapped with the summary on your original RSS feed.

Step 11
...Select item.description.content in the first box. This is the item that we are editing. Paste into the "replace" box the following
Minor correction, but I think if we are assigning results to item.description, we should be looking in item.description for the regex as well, not item.description.content.

Is anyone able to actually get the Regex Module working properly?

EDIT: Nevermind - 'item.description.content' is correct, however I had to check 'g' for global match.
