PHP Programmer to Help with Small WP Aggregator Tweak Needed - $$$

Discussion in 'Programming' started by muncle, Jul 27, 2008.

    I'm looking to hire a PHP programmer who would be able to help me with a little WP aggregator tweak.

    I have a WP blog using FeedWordPress. The particular RSS feed I'm using truncates the article and only shows initial few lines. I was wandering if it was possible to get the whole article, not just those few lines that the feed offers and would also like to have a Source link added at the end of the article that would be hyperlinked to the original article the content of which is displayed on my aggregated page. The link should have rel="nofollow" tag.

    Can anyone do that for me?

    Yup, I can do that for you, but I'll need to create another rss feed with what you need, if their rss feed is not complete, we need to make a new one with what you need. Please PM me your time frame and budget.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your response, guys. I sent you both PMs. In general, this is the scoop:

    I would like to aggregate entries from RSS feeds such as this one and have them posted on my blog:

    http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspx?q=harry+potter&go=&form=QBNR

    or this one:

    http://www.ezinearticles.com/rss/Book-Reviews-SciFi-Fantasy-Horror.xml

    or this one:

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rss/world.xml

    But as you can see - they pull relevant articles related to particular keyword phrase (which is what I need) from several sources, but they are always truncated in that particular feed. I would like to publish whole articles from linked page, not just a brief preview of a few sentences from the beginning.

    However I would like my front page of the blog to show truncated results, but each title should lead to its own page on the blog that displays full article, wit the source link at the bottom.

    I'm using feedwordpress to snap the entries from the feeds. If anyone can help me achieve that, please let me know ;)

    Just a question, wouldn't this be against copyright and open you up to possible legal problems?

    If you quote a source, how would that be against the law? Claiming somebody else's work as your own is plagiarism, but publishing news from news sources that provide them out to masses via RSS - I don't think so. Especially since you cite the source...

    but it looked like you were asking for a way to pull the whole article, not just the headline that is provided in the feed, that is a big difference

    did I misunderstand what you were asking for?

    Which part of "crediting the source" do you not understand?

    I understand what "crediting the source" means, but taking a news story verbatim from a news source and republishing is something that is protected by their copyright, and all the source crediting you want to do doesn't change their rights.

    do you think it does?

    This thread is not dedicated to discussing creative commons licenses. If have nothing of value to contribute, then quit breaking the rules of this board by hijacking my thread.

    ok, I thought it was on topic as it seemed that you were naive to the potential legal implications of your request, so it was appropriate to mention that concern, no need to get hostile, I apologize if you consider that a hijack of the thread, carry on, I am finished with this thread

    (I felt like it is being a responsible forum citizen to warn people and other people reading when what seemed like an innocent request may get them into legal trouble)
