It would be useful to add to the Feeds home page, a link to the Contributed plugin modules page, where many enhancements and solutions can be found.

Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-2.x-dev
Issue summary: View changes

I suggest that the project's page gets updated. The Background and Upgrade from FeedAPI sections don't seem necessary any more. Below is my suggestion for the project's page:

Import or aggregate data as nodes, users, taxonomy terms or simple database records.

Features

  • One-off imports and periodic aggregation of content
  • Import or aggregate RSS/Atom feeds
  • Import or aggregate CSV files
  • Import or aggregate OPML files
  • PubSubHubbub support
  • Create nodes, users, taxonomy terms or simple database records from import
  • Extensible to import any other kind of content
  • Granular mapping of input elements to Drupal content elements
  • Exportable configurations
  • Batched import for large files

Installation

Install as any other Drupal module.

Documentation

You can enable any of the two included feature modules (features_import and features_news) to get a quick glimpse of what Feeds can do (you will need to have Features installed first). Also, read the documentation on how to start with your own imports. There are several screencasts available online both free and paid that you could use as well.

Modules that extend Feeds

For a better reference of contributed modules for Feeds, read the corresponding page of the documentation or use drupal.org's search.

Drupal 8 port

I'm fine with most changes. In the "Installation" part it might be useful to mention that the Feeds Admin UI module need to be enabled to create and configure importers.

This could use a review from twistor as well, so assigning this issue to him. I've no access rights to edit the project page. I guess I should consult febbraro for that. I have seen other issues that requested changes to the project page. So far I solved these issues by adding the requested notes to a release or to create a change record.

Updated issue title, so twistor may notice this issue.
