Which module could help me to grab news from other blogs?

Post by amin30b »

Hi,

I don`t want to use news module but I need to get news from other weblogs like Blogger, how can I do it?
which module could help me more?
And does it affect on search engine ranking and optimization? that`s good or bad for my website?
Which is better, inserting news in website with cms made simple news module or
inserting news via XML or others feeds and solutions with external resource (other weblogs or website) ?

I`ve tried XMLMadeSimple module. And I added this feed in module :
http://vision-clc.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
then module provided me this code :

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="XMLMadeSimple" feed_id="1"}
and I placed it in my page, but output will drive only this number:
"1"
!!!!!!!!!! ???
What`s the wrong?

I always use CMSSimplePie from Nuno, and it works great.

Perhaps an alternative for you...

Thanks, I used CMSSimplePie but its output is not complete!
This is related output :
Subscribe URL: http://vision-clc.blogspot.com/feeds/po ... lt?alt=rss

Site Link URL:

Description:
Its schema is good but I need content title and its description too :(
Now they are empty ...
Is there any solution to solve this issue or other solutions with other modules?

I tried RSS module, that works correctly and I can get both label and description completely, but there is a bad problem with content encoding . My blog language is Farsi and is compatible with utf-8 encoding but module doesn`t show blog content correctly and I just see question mark (?) instead of every character in content.
How could I get rss content with correct encoding to display rss label and description correctly?
