Drupal MediaRSS Setup

Drupal setup of Media Rss aggregation

These are very rough notes - to be updated as soon as possible.

1. Set up Drupal core and make following changes.

Create via CCK a Feed Item template which includes a link to a media URL.

Create a view in Views of feed item.

Install simplefeed module as it is necessary for the next stage of changes.

2. Custom modules created for IFIwatch.tv

- filmfeed: Adds enclosure and media tag to RSS feed

- ifiatom: generates ATOM feed

- ifif: this module makes changes to user interface + organises how the form is displayed / changes character limit of some fields + Displays YT video within ifiwatch.tv instead of taking users to YT website + Generates content of 'Related Documents' block

- duplifeed: removes duplicated feed items

- simplefeed_item_media: parse & save engine for simplefeed beta

3. Maintenance

- DO NOT UPGRADE Simplefeed. It will break.
