Is it just me, or do most sponsor feeds totally suck? - Page 2

Bill - just a quick note to say that Kaktus, the author of the Blog Organizer script and others, is pretty well-known to some people here on the board, and is generally thought to produce very good product. He did write some custom scripts for me that I'm still using over a year later with no complaints.

Something more like a central administration client for multiple Wordpress blogs would be a lot more useful for me. And I mean a native client (for me that would mean Windows) -- there are quite a few native windows clients for wordpress or blogs in general (microsoft even makes one http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/) but they seem more focused on one blog at a time not managing a bunch.

I would move on Bill
I haven't had a chance to try out Kaktuson's Gallery scraper yet but it sounds like it would work out better for you.

His scripts are easy to install and if it doesn't recieve RSS feeds to edit before posting, I'm sure that would be an easy addition to the script for him.
I added your link to my aggregater

Yeah, that was pretty much my conclusion too. The sales text on the gallery scraper program is really thick and crusty - I just want to know exactly what it can do, not read paragraph after paragraph of effulgent praise in sell-speak.

It does say that it can grab text from the gallery - that sounds pretty good. But nowhere does it say that it can take a delimited file and make a feed from it, that I have found yet.

They do have that free trial dealio now, I'm expecting to check it out in the next day or two.

Thansk for the aggregator link - what software are you using to build that aggregator directory, btw?

You don't want to know my opinion of Newstopica or the ass wipe that promotes it. But I've got a copy if you want to reimburse me for the loss.

I'm amazed T-Pat has stuck with it this long.

It's a combination of Stupid, Stubborn, Damned If I Do, and Damned If I Don't Walrus

I spent a couple days playing with then shit canning another aggregator script last week I’m sure the only way I’m going to get what I want is to get a script coded for me and I just don’t feel up to the grind of putting a project like that together right now.

Hey Bill I spent a couple hours playing with Gallery Scraper this morning
Install was very easy only took a few minutes
It does a good job of scraping galleries but doesn’t scrape feeds
I would buy the script in a heart beat if he added the ability to scrape Sponsor Feeds and Sponsor Hosted Free Sites. Also would like more control over the image grabbing and a thumbnail of the image in gallery details and editing

I just got gallery scraper and installed it, haven't had a chance to actually use it yet, but it does have a bulk gallery import in the admin, and allows you to choose the delimiter.
