Import RSS feeds related with categories in TYPO3
This week I’ve been taking a look to a TYPO3 extension to import RSS feeds called Yet Another Feed Importer (yafi).
This extension works really nice, but I miss one feature. I’m going to import blog posts to a TYPO3 website and I’d like to keep the categories already associated with the original post also related with the news imported in the website.
An example:
- Import one post that has the categories TYPO3 and PHP in the RSS
- If you have defined in your website the category TYPO3
- Then the tt_news record imported will be related with TYPO3 category
Finally, I’ve implemented it, you can find a patch at TYPO3 Forge. Also some little bugfixes for yafi extension.
This together with gl_pages_cat could help to feed your website automatically showing only related news on every categorized page.
