Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I upgraded from alpha 12 to alpha 14 today.
When I tried to edit a Feed node, I discovered there was nothing in the URL field.
I downgraded back to alpha 12, and now the URL field has the data I entered before.

Kristi Wachter CreditAttribution: Kristi Wachter commentedI'm nearly positive I did.
Just to be sure, I just re-upgraded:
* removed feeds dir from sites/all/modules
* moved feeds-6.x-1.0-alpha14.tar.gz back into sites/all/modules and untarred it
* ran update.php
* tried editing a feed node
... and I'm getting the same issue. When I edit a feed node, the URL field is empty. (And if I try to save it, I get a validation error, which is great because it (a) alerted me to the problem and (b) kept me from saving my feed with no URL. [grin])
Just out of curiousity, I expanded the options on the update.php page and Feeds was not showing any available updates.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or fixes!

alex_b CreditAttribution: alex_b commentedYeah, sorry for sending you on a wrong lead :/
Are you using the simple pie parser? Did you make sure that you copied the simplepie.inc library back into the new feeds modules directory? If yes, can you tell me a little more about the importer configuration that is causing the problem?

Kristi Wachter CreditAttribution: Kristi Wachter commentedNo, I'm using Common Syndication Parser. Should I switch to Simplepie?
Here are my feed settings:
Basic:
* Attached to: Feed
* Refresh: every 30 min
* Import on create
Fetcher:
* HTTP Fetcher
Parser:
* Common Syndication Parser
Processor:
* Node processor
I'm grabbing Twitter tweets via search.twitter.com (ie http://search.twitter.com/search?q=alex_b+rocks), if that matters.
Thanks!

alex_b CreditAttribution: alex_b commentedHm. I've upgraded a bunch of Feeds sites from 12 to 14 and haven't run into this problem. Also: the structure of the db table hasn't changed in the meantime... If I where to debug personally I'd have a look at the feeds_source config field and see whether the key of the item that holds the URL matches with my importer configuration. For instance, if your importer uses FeedsHTTPFetcher, there should be a key 'FeedsHTTPFetcher' in the serialized array that sits in feeds_source.config.

Vacilando CreditAttribution: Vacilando commentedSame problem... I put a valid RSS feed into field "URL" of the feed item and save it, but when I edit it again, the feed URL field is empty!
(Feed settings same as Kristi Wachter's.)

Vacilando CreditAttribution: Vacilando commentedProblem remains even after upgrade to alpha15.
Comment #8
Vacilando CreditAttribution: Vacilando commentedFound something.
In table feeds_source there was just this:
feed 319585 b:0; b:0;While there should be something like
feed 319585 a:1:{s:16:"FeedsHTTPFetcher";a:1:{s:6:"source";s:86:"http://example.com/rss";}} http://example.com/rss b:0;So what I did was I deleted the feed item I had and created a new one. This one immediately accepted the RSS URL.
The problem was -- and this needs work -- that when I first created the feed item, I had done so before configuring feed settings.
I had saved the feed item without the feed URL field, then I edited feed settings and selected "Attach to content type" -> "Feed item", then I re-edited my feed item, the feed URL field was there, but when saving it would not hold the content.
