Hey guys! I have a site that I am developing SuperHotTopics.com that I want to have articles automatically generated from RSS feeds. I have narrowed it down to a couple components. YOS News Crawler Article-Generator Have any of you used either one of these components? Which one do you guys recommend? ???
I toyed with article generator a bit, seemed like a good plugin however you'd really need to narrow in on a niche to use something like this well.
I've toyed with article generator. Along with jos replace it could be quite powerful. Shame you can't import in 1000's of similes and tell it to replace certain words to avoid duplicate content issues.
i've this trouble early but now my trouble was solved by using the nice php script from an expert of joomla, maybe you can try to contact him at globaltor dot com good luck
A problem that would come up would be the formatting of different articles. Sometimes the crawler can't distinguish between the title and the content. But other than that, Article-Generator seems to be pretty good imo. I've used it for a few sites, and i'm pretty satisfied with it, except for the occasional bugged article.
Yeah jaiganesh156 has a good point. You need to make sure the sources you let the article generator pull from are reliable sources, and don't contain any warez links or things of that nature.
