Thank you

Thank you web design SEO, for your effort in fixing bugs.

I have succeeded to setup 2 feeds from 7 I have tried.

I have few question, just to clear is it scraper limitation or some kind of small bug left.

1. if in RSS I have this form of image tag:

<media:content url="http://www.site.com/cache/thumbnail/article_large/news/2012/December/image_823553163.jpg"/>

how should i setup "image:" parameter on "RSS parser" tab?

2. Can scraper download images from web page, if img tag is in this form:

<img src="http://www.site.com/thumbnail.php?file=news/2010/september/image_435509317.jpg&amp;size=article_medium" alt="image">

or in this case:

<img src="resize.aspx?filename=Nikolina/Fotolia_23977439_Subscription_XXL.jpg&amp;width=550" alt="">

3. Can scraper download img from description field in RSS if img is in format:

<img src="http://www.site.com/thumbnail.php?file=news/2012/December/bevanda_823553163.jpg&size=summary_large" align="left" alt="Bevanda: BiH je daleko od "Grčkog scenarija"" />

P.s. if you can test, I can send you my XML feeds (urls) by email.

[Web Design Seo]

sdbit, just test. Here, at bottom in first post is written about warrancy in every website.

[sdbit]

OK, I will test myself. I already succeeded to make few feeds import without of problems.

If you can just answer me about my first question (as there is no such case in example):

<media:content url="http://www.site.com/cache/thumbnail/article_large/news/2012/December/image_823553163.jpg"/>

How to configure "image:" parameter on "RSS parser" tab?

and 2. Can scraper download images from web page, if img tag is in this form:

<img src="http://www.site.com/thumbnail.php?file=news/2010/september/image_435509317.jpg&amp;size=article_medium" alt="image">

Thanks.

To not forget to say to new prospects: THIS IS GREAT PRODUCT.

Hi webdesignseo,

Can you pls confirm me that there is a limitation in scraper, that it cant grab image with source like:

Код

http://www.site.com/thumbnail.php?file=news/2010/september/image_435509317.jpg&size=article_medium

Im interested in this as feature request. How much would it cost to make it work with such image src as well?

Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. I've got K2 > Catch Image set to Yes and no matter if I got Enable image download set to Yes or no, some images are being caught and some - not. I've looked into the imported post text and saw this:

CODE

<img width="300px"<hr id="system-readmore" /> src="http://en.piaget.com//pictures/homeKindThumb/1360"><p><strong>...</strong> <a class="rssreadon" rel="nofollow" title="Spirit Awards 2013" href="http://www.piaget.com/events/spirit-awards-2013-ceremony" >Spirit Awards 2013</a></p>

Not sure how this could happen. Importing content from this feed: http://en.piaget.com/rss/rss.xml

UPDATE: I noticed that this happens when rss item contains only single image and when I have activated - Split introtext: After N chars.

Help is highly appreciated!

Feed and case will be checked in monday

[dave]

Were you able to look at it? It breaks layout terribly and the whole benefit of scraping in general :|

It keeps dropping these <hr id="system-readmore" /> inside img tags and probably that's what keeps the scraper from recognizing first image in the content in first place.

This is not bug, component just don't have this function inside. "Split introtext: After N chars" work well only with clear text. I recommend you to use other options in this select.

But you allow some html tags in there, no? Quite logical to expect the scraper to not insert anything in the middle of another tag. How's this is not a bug?

What other option do you recommend? We need to have an excerpt of the full text on listing page and a link to a detailed page with whole text.

Do you have any documentation or writeup about all the options?

[dave]

Could it at least catch the first image first and only after that drop in that <hr id="system-readmore" /> tag?

Download of images (and import in K2) depends on many things.

Some of these things:
- your server load, memory and max execution time. And after import in K2, K2 process pictures to generate thumbnails.
- download of images function require really MANY time - 60 or more seconds to finish if are many pictures in feed.
- as is described in component function ( https://3dwebdesign.org/forum/joomla-scrape...for-joomla-t698 ) BMP files are NOT supported.
- images without extension .png, .jpg, .jpeg and .gif (generated dinamically over php) can not be recognized and imported every time. Are recognized and imported most of times, but not every single case.

The cases you describe are not really relevant to my case. You should simply either check if there's another tag at split point and do not count it.

[Web Design Seo]

Yes, dave, my previous post is not for you, sorry. Is answer for questions of different user and is just useful to be in this topic.

@Dave, function "Split introtext: After N chars" come from Agggregator Platinum version and is simple function that work well only with clear text. I have already spoken with our programmers previous day, right after your request, but there is no simple way to make it work with html also.

The problem is that img tag can be in other html tag, the other html tag can be inside other tag in html and there is no simple rule.

And one more thing: now from all aggregators in the world Joomla Scraper is aggregator with most features, but these features cost server load and can't be used all at once on shared host. Programmers say me that this "potential new feature" will cost more memory and server load and we will go to the critical level. But we don't want this.

Algorithm of scrapper is optimized, lightweight and robust. Can work on every shared host with php 5 and memory over 32 mb.

This is the reason to insert inside this component only most useful things, not all things. All others will "convert" component to extension for vps and shared servers only.

Web Design Seo, please answer on this question.

If you can just answer me about my first question (as there is no such case in example):

<media:content url="http://www.site.com/cache/thumbnail/article_large/news/2012/December/image_823553163.jpg"/>

How to configure "image:" parameter on "RSS parser" tab?

[Web Design Seo]

All examples and config. info are on page of surrent settings in joomla scraper.This is picture:




Edit: There is one more filed (image) in latest version in custom parser. When you configure field picture can be downloaded local and imported in K2 tab image. This function work in Joomla 2.5 and in Joomla 3.0 version.

You must enter in field "image" this: media:content url.

[emkal]

It is not working with media:content url. I ve tried media:content.url but it doesnt work too.

[Web Design Seo]

Will be tested tomorrow and fixed if we find bug.
