feeds 8.x-3.0-beta1

Custom source UI added; new plugin type "FeedsCustomSource" added; new permissions added for "own" feeds.

In this release, a UI for managing custom sources is added. You can now edit and delete custom sources that you typically add when using the CSV parser or when using one of the parser that are provided by Feeds extensible parsers. For that module a new release has also been made in order to make use of this new feature.

Custom source types

There is now also the concept of custom source types. This is a new plugin type in Feeds called "FeedsCustomSource". There are two types of custom sources in Feeds:

• Blank source, available for every parser;
• CSV source, available only for the CSV parser.

Blank sources are ignored by the parser, you can use these for tampering data (for example: with Feeds Tamper). See the documentation.
Feeds extensible parsers adds three more custom source types: XML Xpath, QueryPath XML and Json. Each one is only available for specific parsers.
There is a database update available that adds types to existing custom sources on feed types.

New permissions added for "own" feeds

Per feed type you can now set permissions for operations on own feeds. The following permissions are now available per feed type:

• View own feeds
• Edit own feeds
• Delete own feeds
• Delete own feed items
• Import own feeds
• Import own feeds in background
• Unlock own feeds
