Feed API + Emfield Screencast
- Pharmacology:
Here is a quick recipe that uses Drupal's Feed API, Feed Element Mapper, CCK and the Embedded Media Field to create independent embedded video nodes on your Drupal site by RSS. This is our first screencast and first contribution to the Drupal Dojo, hopefully you will find this interesting and try it out yourself. As usual, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi Sean, Is there a way to
Hi Sean,
Is there a way to map the title of the feed item to the url of the item itself? So, basically the site that is retrieving the feed items can link back to the sites in the feed with the anchor text of the title. At the moment, my default setup links back to the site with the text "original article" and I'd like to change this.
By the way, I can hear the audio in this video but can only see a blank screen. I'm not sure whether it's just my browser but thought I'd give you a heads up.
same here. i only have audio

Wow, I was having such a problem getting this to work until I saw your "remove items" and "refresh." A morning's worth of work solved in a few seconds of video.
Thanks!
Thank you. I am new to Drupal
Thank you. I am new to Drupal - the feed api in combination with CCK looks really interesting.
Thanks Sean for the video
Thanks Sean for the video easy to understand and very usefull.
I´m using the embeded media field to let my visitors post videos . I wonder if you can let me know how can I manage to insert the thumbnail of the emfield in the search results.
any situation let me know aca@argentina.com

Sean, thanks for this. I have a question though... this only pulls down the 12 displayed video's in blip - yet there are many more via pagination. How do you get it so the videos in pagination sets 2-N show up as well?
Glad to have found your site!

I love this, Sean. Thanks. Q:
I love this, Sean. Thanks.
Q: In your tutorial, you mentioned 'Remove Items' then 'Refresh' after creating the 'Map' of the URL to emvideo.
Is there another way to make that association without removing the items first? I want to preserve the existing node IDs and its contents.
Thanks again.
Hi , thanks for sohbet

Thank you for this tutorial. I want to create a node that has a video thumbnail and two links. One to my chat quicktime server and sohbet the other to my windows server. What's your advice?
Is it possible to incorp
Is it possible to incorp Lightbox 2 into this for the purpose of pulling rss photos? Would lightbox 2 require any additional configuration? Can it only be used with the 3 providers it lists?

Great Great Great vid,
one question..
If I embed a youtube vid the old way just creating a page and pasting the embed vid-the video does not 'click thru' to youtube which is the effect I want.
If I rss the content or embed a single url with Emfield, Mapper and feed, a video can be clicked through to youtube.com without the ability to prevent the clock thru.
Is it possible to disable the click thru option?
Yes thank you very much! But
Yes thank you very much! But one problem - i am new in Drupal. I have prosepoint version. And i do not really understand how to put this nodes with video to frontpage?

And sure i can make menu item that goes to feed-item/19 to show it like a page with videos - but frontpage? Give me advice please!
That's easy. Just set the
That's easy. Just set the correct address under admin>site config>site information>default front page.

When I follow these steps in
When I follow these steps in a clean install of drupal 6.12, it works. However, if I do exactly the same thing in my existing drupal sites, it doesn't work. Please suggest why this is happening.
I couldn't say without
I couldn't say without knowing the story on your existing sites. You would have to tell me what happens on your existing sites when you try it, where does it break, what results you get. Also check your versions on Drupal and the modules.
Sean, Back for another
Sean,
Back for another question.
Are you able to use the custom URL feature and have the videos display? I've tried a variety of combinations without success. They end up like feed items without the mapping to emfield.
Thanks,
Jerry
PS - What's the scoop on moving to the Media Module?
Which custom url feature? Do
Which custom url feature? Do you mean the one built in to core called "Path" where nodes can have custom urls set by users, or do you mean the custom url as a method for hotlinking hosted video files into emfield? I need more info to help you with either case.
Yeah pretty vague. Sorry
Yeah pretty vague. Sorry about that.
I am referring to the selection custom URL configuration as a provider in the embedded media field configuration.
I have selected allow content from custom URL and it does pull the feed and create nodes but without the actual video. Similar result as the section of your instruction before mapping is done.
I'm afraid that I couldn't
I'm afraid that I couldn't help you with that one. Once you step into the custom URL area of emfield, you are there because you are working with video providers that no one has a method for yet. Unfortunately it would be up to you to suss it out, and I would probably start by getting in touch directly with the people who publish the source of your RSS feed. Maybe they can tell you more about it that would lead to a solution.
I enjoyed the screencast, but
I enjoyed the screencast, but I can't get it working since it's not possible to find FeedAPI Node Views for Drupal 6.
Could you remake this screencast for D6 users?
Thanks.

Sean,
Your excellent instruction is providing great new content for my readers. Thanks.
I have an editing question. Is it possible to edit the bar below the emfield? The bar displays add comment, feed:whatever, original article.
My readers are constantly clicking on the Feed:whatever link which sends them to an access denied screen. I would like to kill the link or remove this from view, only I can't find where this can be done. Any ideas?
Thanks,

You could hide the link with
You could hide the link with CSS, since it's such a small operation. A little {display: none;} property would do it. On a heftier level, you should create custom theme tpl.php files to override the output of that node type and display the links however you like. Good luck.

Hi Sean, I'm trying to use feedapi to pull content from another drupal site, only nodes with some cck text fields, nothing fancy. I built a rss view on the source site with the nodes I want to share and then add the rss with feedapi on the target site, the problem is that I can't map the cck values into another cck fields.
How can I map content from other drupal sites?
Thanks
