I'm having this problem, now, too. Initially I was looking for a solution to my problem with Magpie not recognizing a group feed on Upcoming.org (I was looking to pull in events I listed on that site instead of duplicating my efforts). Google Reader recognized it and pulled in events, and I used a tag to make everything from Upcoming public. Magpie liked Google Reader's feed url, so I thought it was doing all right, but it doesn't pull anything [when I manually run it].
Code:
Feed Name: Upcoming.org
Feed URL: http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/08966848509713638635/label/mh
Delete this feed
- Feed Frequency (hours): 12 -- how often to check for new items.
- Feed Votes: 1 -- how many votes new items recieve (limit 200)
- Feed Items Limit: 10 -- how many new items to take from the feed when it's checked
- Feed URL Dupes: 0 -- Allow duplicate URL's 0=No, 1=Yes, Allow
- Feed Title Dupes: 0 -- Allow duplicate Title's 0=No, 1=Yes, Allow
- Feed Submitter Id (number): 3 -- The ID of the person who will be listed as the submitter
- Feed Category Id (number): 6 -- The ID of the category to place these items into
-- feed field name: title --- pligg field name: link_title
-- feed field name: link --- pligg field name: link_url
-- feed field name: summary --- pligg field name: link_content
I was also wondering if there's a limit to how much the RSS Importer will bring in, since I have added a large number of feeds (4-5 very small, specialized ones, and 2 with about 15 items per cycle) and it seems that by the end of the page it just stops generating information about what it's doing. For example, it will list, in large type, the name of the feed, and brief summaries of whether or not it's importing or skipping each item, continuing on down the line, but eventually will just list the title of a feed and nothing beneath it.
Is it stopping on the feed, denoting an error? Or is it not running it because it's terminating for another reason? I don't know anything about Magpie so I'm hoping someone who does can answer these questions.
