I'm very new to Drupal. I'd read some info about it and decided to build a portal on it.
Now I need to create a centralized newsline. For that I gather content (news, articles, etc...) from several sites.
I'm playing with Rss Aggregator and found it stores gathered content into it's own format.
Is it possible to hybridize aggregator with flexinode or at least with usual story? So that this module would produce objects of standard type with standard behavior. I want to control content with workflow - moderational policy, to see feed content in my newsline, also I want my users could write comments to this content.
The next. Can I transmit taxonomy information via rss feed? So if author of some site marked an article with terms "A" and "B", how can I get this information?
As far as I know, RSS 2.0 allows to transmit category info with special tags like this:
1765
Does Drupal rss aggregator support this feature? What about multiple categories? Of course, all sites in this ring must have the same taxonomy. Is it possible to share taxonomy with several drupal instances places on different hosts? May be there's some standard way to publish taxonomy on the net?
I googled a little and found XML Topic Maps and Web Ontology Language. Do you know what status do they have? What about their support in Drupal and other tools?
I've been running a Drupal site for several weeks, creating a massive amount of new content daily. However, when I check the search engines, the pages indexed are all from non-Drupal sites I'd created and abandoned long ago. Googlebot and yahoo and other spiders regularly index my site. I use gsitemap to submit Google update sitemaps on an hourly basis. I've made sure Google and Yahoo can index my site. But it is as if my site doesn't exist and only the 'ghost' sites are recognized.
Now I'm having a problem with feeds (all of them), for example, when I access /taxonomy/term/20/0/feed , the xml output is generated but as an empty line is inserted before the first xml tag ( <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ) then the browser shows an error, telling that the document must start at first line, or something like that...
I am running a 4.5 site and have noticed that despite the fact that a cronjob is performed once per hour, the search is not turning up results for terms that are confirmed to be in posts.
I know there was a search.module rewrite within the past 1.5 years or so (i forget when). Is the search indexing in 4.5 suspect and has it been addressed in subsequent versions?
