Adding custom fields to wp-o-matic

Reported by thebigkrumm | January 17th, 2010 @ 08:07 PM

Good evening!

I've been scratching my head all day long trying to figure out how to grab custom fields in my RSS feed and implement it through wp-o-matic; specifically I'd like to grab the "link" field [eg <link><![CDATA[http://idx.diversesolutions.com/search/2087/24/1476336]]> </link> and add it to my post in a specific location. How can I do this? I can't figure out where WP-o-Matic grabs the feed from which it gets the title and content. I would really like to be able to assign it to a PHP variable for further manipulation.

Thanks!

    hi thebigkrumm,
    I don't know if you're still wondering... In that feed you should be able to use the {permalink} tag in the "Options>>Custom post template" (be sure to turn on the check box). It can't be inserted into the middle of the {content} eaisily but can be formatted in any way before or after.
    Other fields can be parsed in simplepie (get_description, get_thumbnail, get_link etc.) by adding them to the // Template parse in wpomatic.php.

    Ex.: add {description} to the '$vars = array(' and
    add '$item->get_enclosure(0)->get_description()' to the '$replace = array('
    (same position in both arrays) & just use the {description} tag in "Options>>Custom post template".

    If I remember right it'll cause an error if the feed doesn't have the tag you targeted so I added a complete Template for specific domains like

    'if(strpos($feed->url, 'whateverdomain.com')) {' for the domain I want parsed differently and an else statement for the standard Template avoids any errors.

    Be nice if the "Custom post template" had a place for adding non standard tags to parse in a campaign but that would be a lot of work & I just fix what I need as I go. Maybe that's upcomming...

    Karl :-)
