This module is for Drupal 7.x.
Overview
The Advanced Aggregator module is designed to make Drupal's core Aggregator module (in version 7 and beyond) more useful, flexible, and scalable. In short, it makes Aggregator feeds "fieldable," adds additional Views integration for Aggregator feeds and items, checks and logs errors (bad HTTP status codes and parse errors) encountered when importing, adds helpful UI components to promote scalability, and provides an "upgrade path" for users who formerly depended on the Feeds module.
Usage Instructions
Just enable the module as you would normally and visit admin/config/services/aggregator. This module takes over that page and adds additional links and UI elements. If you have Views enabled, you'll also be able to access the feed URL log at admin/reports/aggregator_feed_log (although you can change this path via the Views UI).
History
In Drupal 6.x, the core Aggregator module was not very flexible. Many users turned to the Feeds module, which was able to treat both RSS feeds and their imported items as nodes, for flexibility. The Feeds module introduced the concept of pluggable fetchers, parsers, and processors, introduced flexibility, and allowed CCK fields to be attached to Feed nodes and imported items. The many options provided flexibility, but created confusion for some users.
