We have a Drupal website with a seperate RSS feed for every blogger on the site. There will be an indeterminate number of new users signing up and blogging in the future. Drupal automatically generates an RSS feed for each new blog. Is there a way to automatically burn each feed as well? We'd like to avoid manually adding a new feed to Feedburner every time a new user starts their blog.
Consider using the Views module to create an overall master view of all blog articles on your site, regardless of user. E.g. Add the node title and user name fields and filter on node type = "Blog article". Then, just create a feed display for this master view and burn that instead.

We have a news web site and want to have telegram instant view for all news in our web site.
I have logged in at https://instantview.telegram.org/ and create a template for a news. by using its created link in this site the instant view button for this news is shown in telegram. but not work for other news. Should I create the link in https://instantview.telegram.org/ site for each news?
You might have one of two problems.
1) According to the last abstract of Instant View:
This means that, as a website owner, you can create a template for your page and publish t.me/iv?url=... links with the corresponding rhash to your Telegram channel — and your subscribers will be able to view your articles in the Instant View format right away.
Long story short: rhash generated for your news page could be applied to any page from your site. So make sure you have changed the url param in t.me/iv?url=...&rhash=... link while creating Instant View button.
2) Check the first step in every template in Sample Templates Page. It describes which pages get Instant View and which don't. Maybe you've created your template for a single news page, not for all news pages at the same level.
E.g., the ?path: /.+ condition will provide Instant View for every page except the root page.
I'm working with a job vacancies site with drupal. There's a content type named CV and there are specific profile pages for specific users(I use Profile2 module).
What I want to do is when admin add a new CV for a specific user, that cv is posted on that user's profile page.
I can create cv content but can't link to that user's profile page.
I've find possible answers on google and can't find the right one.
Using the Views module, you can create a page view that displays nodes of type CV and uses the User ID (from logged in user or URL) as a contextual field, then set the path to something like "user/%/CV".
I'm attempting to build module that allows a user access to manage jobs/departments and post them to our website. It will also allow end users to apply for a given position.
The hierarchy is as follows:
About Us Page (standard drupal page)
-Careers (overview with list of all openings)
-Department Pages (if one or more jobs are available, they'll be displayed here)
-Individual Job posting with form to submit resume
I am currently using two custom tables for jobs and departments.
I have all the administration (CRUD) stuff working just fine -- my question lies in the 'drupal' way of integrating the department pages and individual career pages.
Should I create a custom content type that stores all the job/department data in the node? Or should I keep with my custom tables and integrate with the Path module to setup all the department pages and the application page? Also, what would be the best way to integrate the job application form into the module?
I appreciate any help!
You could create a custom node type for jobs and then create a taxonomy vocabulary for careers with terms for departments inside it so that you can then assign the taxonomy terms to a job. That would be very quick and easy to do.
This also means that you could output nice categorised breadcrumbs using the Custom Breadcrumbs module. Custom Breadcrumbs contains a submodule called Custom Breadcrumbs Taxonomy so you could output career/department information in the breadcrumbs.
You could also use Pathauto to output nicely structured SEO friendly URLS using this method.
Edited to say that with this method you could use Views to show taxonomy term specific lists simply by enabling the taxonomy term View, so you could show all openings at www.example.com/careers and all departmental openings at www.example.com/careers/department-name.
I have Drupal installed with CCK, Feeds, Views and ViewsAttach.
I have multiple feeds and I wish to render them on seperate pages i.e. BBC sport feed needs to have its own page and menu item, BBC news feed needs its own page and menu item etc.
I am aware that I need to use Views and ViewsAttach to do what I want but I am having a problem getting it to work. When I create content using a Feed I can see the items in the View items tab but they don't appear on the page - they all appear on the front page and not on the actual page for the feed. How do I get them to appear on the correct page?
I'm tearing my hair out with this one and being a total Drupal newbie is obviously not helping any.

On each of your feeds views you need to add the "Aggregator feed: Feed ID" filter and set that to the Aggregator Feed ID that corresponds to the feed you want shown.
I have 2 custom fields in my WordPress system when creating new posts. One is called homethumb (is the title of an image) and another called description.
I would like to edit the RSS feed so it shows the image and the description rather than the complete post.
But I don't know how to do this. I would like to fetch that RSS with simple pie to integrate it on another website (sort of auto-submit system).
You also have
do_action('rss_item')
that runs in the loop for every item in the RSS feed.
Hook in to that and output anything extra you need in to the feed item.
To show the excerpt instead of the entire article, go to "reading" in Settings section of your admin menu and half way through the options there's a setting to use excerpts instead of full text.
No plugins required. Just a little custom programming.
Custom fields for Feeds Wordpress plugin
This puts images or videos into your feeds through the use of custom
fields. You can alter the custom field Keys and what is displayed.
Update 11/27/2015: The plugin is old, but the site says it still works
I found some tutorials on how to add things to your rss reader, so I fixed this.
it's in french -> http://www.webinventif.fr/wordpress-ajouter-du-contenu-dans-son-flux/
Here is another option if you want to display anything other than images and videos in your feed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-custom-fields/
All of your custom fields will now be displayed in your feed.
Further options to be able to select which custom fields display in a feed will be available in subsequent releases of the plugin!
