SimpleXMLElement::xpath()

Hi davisnz,

Thanks for using our plugin.
Please use po [1] Full Text for your Get Images processor. If the problem still occurs, please post again here with the link to your RSS source, so that we can check it.

Best regards.

Glad that I could help :”)

You can watch the showcase video tutorial for WP Pipes in here to get a clearer image of how to make Pipes work for your benefit.

About your specific problem, I nominate the Cut Introtex Processor as a solution. Please click on the link below to view the field mapping:
Fields mapping for introtext with custom length.

The Words option for Cut introtext processor would decide the minimum number of words to be cut from po[2]html, the returned HTML string will be stored in po[3] introtext. You can use it for [di] content to post with a shorter content. Remember to set the value as YES for the Finish Sentence option. You should also check if the Remove option in Get Images processor is set to Yes, to ensure that there would be no duplicated images in your auto posting.

The “link to original source” question has been answered in this thread: Giving credit to source?. Please go there and read. If you still have question, please don’t hesitate to ask here again.

Best regards.

Hi davisnz,

Can you please export your pipe and upload it here for me to check? You can do it by clicking on the small arrow next to the <<Save>> button and choose “Export yo .pipe file“.

There are cases that require us to make heavy configuration with Parser Code and the likes before we could make Pipes fetch the content accurately, and it’s kind of hard to offer a solution when I have to go blind on the data construction on your source.
Or you can show me the link to your RSS Feed.

With best regards.

Hi davisnz,

I’m really sorry but while investigating you source, we’ve found out that their images was not displayed with image tags, but with a flash gallery, so it’s pretty hard to rip images from them with just standard processor in the free core of WP Pipes. Moreover it’s not just flash gallery that they used, sometimes the “images” are actually screenshot from a youtube clip.

Probably we would need the DOM processor for such a difficult case. If you really need it, please check out the Shop section on our website.

With best regards.

Well, I think it’s possible with some post if you use the Parser Code. But since the structure change from post to post, you would have to keep a monitor on you pipes and re-code it for posts with a different structure, and manually run the pipe again.

If you don’t mind doing it, I could cook up the Parser Code that would work for posts with flash gallery for you. I haven’t look at posts with Youtube thumbnail, so for now I really can’t promise.

Best regards.

Oh dear davisnz, I think I have good news for you.

I’ve tried this code on our Parser Code simulator and looks like it works for both youtube clips and gallery flash:
ginner|0|div|cover-wrap|0|1|

You can use it with another Get Fulltext and feed the result to a Get Images processor. Please inform me if it works for your Pipes system. I would be waiting for news from you.

With best regards.

Dear davisnz,

I mean you should:
– Call a Get Fulltext processor only to get your images. Please use the code I’ve given you for the Parser Code box of this processor. It would extract only featured images from the post in your RSS Source.
– Then use the fulltext field produced by the before-mentioned Get Fulltext processor as input for your Get Images processor.

Please view the screenshot in the link below fore more detail. I’ve marked the place for your Parser Code and the flow of data from field to field in there:

If you still have any question, please feel free to ask :”)

With best regards.
