FTR read Feed Creator feed

Full-Text RSS
1

(I’m sure someone has already asked this…)

I want to:

  1. Use Feed Creator to create a feed from a web page, then…
  2. Have FTR extract the full text from the feed created by Feed Creator

Is there a site config file that handles a feed created by Feed Creator?

When you use Feed Creator, you’ll see a button on the preview column labeled ‘Service shortcuts’. You can use that and have the generated feed processed by Full-Text RSS.

Essentialy how this works is that the input to Full-Text RSS becomes the RSS feed URL generated by Feed Creator. So you can also just copy the feed URL Feed Creator produces and paste it into the Full-Text RSS form. It should be treated like any other feed.

I figured out my issue. I’m hosting FTR and FC in a docker container so both are on localhost.

When I do this:

http://localhost/ftr/makefulltextfeed.php?url=localhost%2Ffc%2Fextract.php%3Furl%3Dwww.economist.com%2Funited-states%26item%3D.teaser__text%26item_title%3D.teaser__headline%26item_url%3D.headline-link%26item_desc%3D.teaser__description%26max%3D5%26order%3Ddocument%26guid%3D0&max=5&links=preserve&exc=&submit=Create+Feed

I get this error:

php-fpm | NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Notice: A feed could not be found at http://localhost/fc/extract.php?url=www.economist.com%2Funited-states&item=.teaser__text&item_title=.teaser__headline&item_url=.headline-link&item_desc=.teaser__description&max=5&order=document&guid=0. Empty body. in /var/www/html/ftr/libraries/simplepie/library/SimplePie.php on line 1395

BUT when I change the hostname in the FC URL to “webserver” (the name of the docker container), FTR works correctly. It’s because I’m using a docker bridged network which confuses the meaning of “localhost”.

It’s a docker thing.

Thanks for posting this, that’s good to know. We hope to offer a Dockerised version of Full-Text RSS and Feed Creator at some point in the future, so we’ll keep this in mind.
