Core module of the Tattler distribution.

Installation

This module is not supposed to work in a stand-alone mode and for most cases only makes sense as part of the Tattler (app) distribution. You can download the distribution at: http://tattlerapp.com/download

The User News module allows each member of your Drupal site to individually create and publish news articles, with each member having his/her own individual RSS feed. A block is also provided which collectively lists all the site's "Latest news articles."

If this sounds "familiar" to you, it'd probably be safe to say that you've been using Drupal enough to the point that you might be considered what some refer to as an expert (of course that's just my opinion, but nonetheless). The reason? This module's platform is based heavily on that of the Blog module which is one of the (optional) core modules that ships with every download of Drupal itself.

So... Why would such a module exist?

Great question.

Looks up terms from a taxonomy vocabulary in title and description of a feed item.

Usage

1. Create vocabulary, populate with terms to be looked up.
2. Set up FeedAPI feed content type. Enable FeedAPI as secondary parser.
3. In "Look-up vocabulary" select box, choose the vocabulary created in step 1.

At this point FeedAPI Tagger is fully configured, but you won't see any tags created yet. Typically, you would want to use Feed Element Mapper to map the terms detected by FeedAPI tagger to vocabulary terms.

4. Install Feed Element mapper.
5. Go to node/id/map of one of your feeds.
5. Map tags to vocabulary created in 1.

For requirements and installation instructions, refer to the included README.txt file.

For a guide to using Feeds in site builds or how to develop for Feeds, refer to the Feeds documentation.

Feeds is the successor module of FeedAPI and Feed Element Mapper. It aims for easier usage and better extensibility. Read more in Good bye FeedAPI, hello Feeds.

FeedAPI and related modules provide lots of ways to get feed data into Drupal, especially into nodes. This module provides a way to set default values in node fields on a per feed basis (instead of per content type -- but this is also broken, see issue #XXXXX), as well as filter values from a PHP snippet on a per feed basis.
