Hi,

I test the plug-in and it work great expect small problem, when the username is not in English, the plug-in cannot create the users because the user filter and nicename filter will return empty string !!!

please can you fix this bug or let me know where to modify?

I suggest to create the username using the Host url + random string like the random password !

another thing i did not test it really, but did the plug-in support naming conflict ?
for example, when John username found in x.com and y.com, with different email, does the plug-in create John1 ?? or reuse the current John account ??

Regards, keep up the good work 😉

devmohsh,

Thanks for alerting me to this issue. Could you provide me with the URL for one or more feeds where you are encountering usernames that cause this problem? I will be glad to work on a fix, which can be incorporated into the next public release of FeedWordPress, but it will go much easier if I have some URLs of example feeds to work with, and test my solution against.

Thanks,
-C

sorry for my late 🙂

there is some URLs from wordpress.com and blogger.com
http://ibashar.wordpress.com/feed/
http://mne7.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

these is a special case where the Arabic user contain “-” so the plug-in will generate a user witch name “-” only !!
http://www.shbbk.com/wp-admin/admin.php?link_id=6&page=feedwordpress/feeds-page.php

i try the Unsubscribe feature and choose :Delete this syndicated link and all the posts that were syndicated from it
but nothing deleted !!

i don not know if it always happened or only for the arabic and other UTF-8 charset

🙂 thx alot

I found some other bugs 🙂

the first one, when you have a big number of feeds, the sync process will crash because of the memory usage, so you must free the memory resource after every feed finished

the second problem is than we can add the feed many time, it will be more easy if you add a check to remove the duplication

thx alot

I have the memory problem as well. I have noticed that I have to turn off some of the plugins before running FeedWordPress.

I detect a new bug

if we register a feed from wordpress blogs and it work in some type of permalinks, then the authors change the permalinks settings from their blog, the plug-in will generate an error and cannot parse the XML file

for example
i get this post
http://www.bourb.org/2010/07/23/my-gaza/

after that i change the permalinks to work like
http://www.bourb.org/?p=857

if i delete the sync post and update the feed again it will not import it never read the rss feed

the second problem is that you did not save the guid from the rss and only take the permalink, so if the plug-in read the rss file it will generate a new posts from the same original posts, is not it ?

hi,
For the problem user name, Submit the feed adress in feedburner goole and open it , when go optimize/SmartCast and edit Podcast author in english name.

I hope your problem is resolved

hi norozzad

this is not the best way, we can simply go to the authors page in the feed settings and map the UTF-8 name to a new english one, then we can change the nickname to the UTF-8 so every thing will be ok without using a 3rd party.

but i add this here to be done Automatically by the script not manually every time 🙂
