I want http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/story and http:/ozpolitics.info/story and http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=nnn and http:/ozpolitics.info/?p=nnn all to work — old and new alike. * Essentially, in the new world, I would want to map http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/ story –> http:/ozpolitics.info/story; and http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=nnn – > http:/ozpolitics.info/?p=nnn (and so on). * I imagine I can do the mapping in the .htaccess file. My problem is that I do not know how. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Need a custom blog aggregator – willing to pay!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-blog-aggregator-willing-to-pay/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-blog-aggregator-willing-to-pay/#post-526819) * [WordPress plugin: aggregated blog feeds](http://www.ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=87) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator (upgrade advice)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-upgrade-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-upgrade-advice/#post-503070) * 0.6.0 (pre-release #2) out today * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423049) * Updated to version 0.5.0 (alpha). This release has three key changes. * First, I am now fetching feeds using the Snoopy PHP class that comes with WordPress. * Second, I have changed the input method for multiple URLS from a comma separated list to a white-space separated list. * Third, I have introduced an errors page (in the dashboard) that lists the most recent feed errors, including for malformed feeds. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [RSS Aggregator plugin suggestion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-aggregator-plugin-suggestion/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-aggregator-plugin-suggestion/#post-463710) * In what way did they not work?

I have found a way of getting the relative addresses of images wihout the need to modify the database. So I will not need to go to 0.5.0 just yet. * The problem with MagpieRSS in WordPress 2.0 is that it does not handle UTF-8 well. (Also, there is a different [incompatible] version of MagpieRSS in WordPress 2.1). * In terms of the $content = @file_get_contents($this->url) I have gone back to using the cURL library. We will see how it goes. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423032) * I am working on improving the aggregator so that it can import images. The first cut is in version 0.4.9. It works for images with full addresses. However, to get it working with images with relative addresses, I will need to redo the database. So expect a version 0.5.0 in about two or three weeks time. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423030) * Just updated to version 0.4.7 – blogspot had a new ATOM format that I was not parsing correctly – feed address is in the format: [http://site-name.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full](http://site-name.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423029) * Update to version 0.4.3 – thanks for the suggestions for improvement. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423028) * Updated to version 0.4.0 * Reverted to the old feed reader – there were problems with MagpieRSS in WordPress with international characters. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Feed in a page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-in-a-page/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-in-a-page/#post-428527) * Or you could try [BDP RSS Aggregator](http://www.ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=87) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – update advice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/) * Thread Starter [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-update-advice/#post-423004) * Updated to version 0.3.2 – hopefully all the glitches have now been addressed. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [RSS introduction?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-introduction/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-introduction/#post-423432) * I take my rss feed and place it on my site (albeit aggregated with other sire feeds) using the [BDP RSS Aggregator](http://www.ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=87) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator – can’t get it started on new site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-cant-get-it-started-on-new-site/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-cant-get-it-started-on-new-site/#post-420523) * (1) it could be that you don’t have internet access from your server. * (2) You could try the latest version – as it accesses the internet in a different( more friendly) way. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [BDP RSS Aggregator problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-problem/) * [bdp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/) * (@bdp) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bdp-rss-aggregator-problem/#post-314099) * Most likely, you get the message because your version of PHP does not have multibyte language support enabled … ask your web host to do it, or have a look at [http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/ref.mbstring.php](http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/ref.mbstring.php) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 29 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdp/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
