Title: Looking for Programmer Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Looking for Programmer * [laosegui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laosegui/) * (@laosegui) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/) * Hello All, * I have need of either a plugin, or a stand alone web based application. I can pay some, but not huge sums of cash for this. * The person will need to know XML feeds and the structure of WordPress databases and of course, PHP. This should actually be a non-complex task (don’t all prospective clients say that?), but I don’t have the desire to learn the needed knowlege to do this. * If you are interested, please contact me at: contract AT laosegui.com and I will fill you in on the details of what I am looking for. * Thanks, * Lao Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-179881) * > I have need of either a plugin, or a stand alone web based application. * To do what exactly? * Thread Starter [laosegui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laosegui/) * (@laosegui) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-179884) * The need might be considered contorversial by some so I want to avoid saying it here for fear of stepping on toes. * However, to the best of my knowledge what I need is completely legal. There may already be a application out there that already does what I need for all I know, but I just haven’t been able to find it. * Anyone who has the skills I listed above can email me and I will be more than happy to fill them in on what I want. If they can do it, but don’t want too, that is fine. I won’t hold any hard feelings. 🙂 * Lao * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-179888) * No worries. In that case, make sure that you have completely checked the various plugin resources and have confirmed that what you’re looking for doesn’t already exist. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins#Plugins_by_category](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins#Plugins_by_category) * [http://dev.wp-plugins.org/](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/) * [http://www.wp-plugins.net/](http://www.wp-plugins.net/) * Thread Starter [laosegui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laosegui/) * (@laosegui) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-179908) * Thank you for the links. I checked them and I don’t see anything that does what I need it too.

Then folks with the necessary skill set can contact you ? * Thread Starter [laosegui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laosegui/) * (@laosegui) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-179919) * Okay, by popular demand, here is the scoop: * What I would like is the ability to automatically read various RSS feeds and have them put into the WordPress database as individual posts (Just the feed snipit, not the entire thing). * I would also like to assign what category those posts are put under (as well as whether or not people can post comments on them) and figure out a way where I can pick and choose the categories I want to have show up on my main blog page.( So I can have the RSS feeds on other pages that I would make static links to.) * I hope this makes sense. * Thanks, * Lao * [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * (@davidchait) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180052) * There are some re-blogger scripts around, and I’ve been thinking about adding such functionality to CG-FeedRead, but been hard to justify spending the time so far… * If you have any more particular details of how you’d expect to ‘interact’ with such a plugin, let me know. * -d * Thread Starter [laosegui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laosegui/) * (@laosegui) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180063) * Hi David, * Some of the things that I would like it to do would be: * A) Automated Retrieval of Feeds B) Ability to assign categories on a feed by feed basis C) Checking for duplicate entries D) Linking back to original source E) Ability to read several different types of ‘standard’ feeds * That pretty much is all I am looking for. 🙂 Of course, that is before I see it running, then I am sure that I would have other tweaks come to mind. * Lao * [Denis de Bernardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis-de-bernardy/) * (@denis-de-bernardy) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180195) * [http://www.auburnmedia.com/wordpress/?p=892](http://www.auburnmedia.com/wordpress/?p=892) * [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * (@davidchait) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180258) * So, you want new items on feeds picked up and auto-posted into a particular category pre-set based on the particular feed? (Just checking that I read that correctly…) * A (which is really auto-posting…), C, and D are all somewhat ‘basic’ features I’d need to build in anyway. Well, the auto-posting stuff is versus a managed/ admin-interface approach where you checkmark new items in your ‘subscribed’ feeds to be posted to your site — both approaches are useful, and relevant to different folks, so I’d probably do both in the end. * B is just a data assignment. * E is already in CG-Feedread — it handles most of the major feed formats pretty well (although still needs a lot more extensive testing against wide varieties of generated sources, as no two programs generate a given feed type identically… 😉 ). * -d * [thepope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepope/) * (@thepope) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180259) * I am about to udergo this same process and I’d like to throw my question at you. * If you are allowing PHP in the post, is the comment section secure? * right now I have PHP exec running to allow feedread in a post but I have comments turned off. How can I do this without the PHPexec plugin? * [ColdForged](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coldforged/) * (@coldforged) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-programmer/#post-180316) * I don’t know about PHP exec, but I assume it’s much the same as RunPHP. If that’s the case, the only content that is available for PHP evaluation is the post content. The comments are not evaluated.
