Features

WP-o-Matic aims to provide a very wide range of features. Currently, these are:

  • Campaigs Feeds and all settings and options are now organized into campaigns for the perfect organization and comfort.
  • Multiple feeds / categories: it’s possible to add as many feeds as you want, and add them to as many categories as you want. It’s not obstrusive, so you can also write your own posts to any of those categories.
  • Every form of XML syndication supported. This includes RSS 0.91 and RSS 1.0 formats, the popular RSS 2.0 format, and the emerging Atom.
  • Feed autodiscovery, which lets you add feeds without even knowing the exact URL. (Thanks Simplepie!)
  • Unix cron and Wordpress cron jobs For maximum performance, you can make the RSS fetching process be called by a Unix cron job, or simply let Wordpress handle it.
  • Comfortable interface. The admin is powered by a state of the art ajaxy interface that lets you handle your feeds with ease. Updated!
  • Images caching for extreme performance and hotlinking bypassing.
  • Words Rewriting. Want to replace the word “Poker” with “Texas Holdem”? We have it covered. Want to use regular expressions? We have it covered.
  • Words Relinking. Define custom links for words you specify.
  • Post templating. Define a global header and footer for the posts, or even for a specific feed. Add ads
  • Campaigns import/export using OPML files. Easily import hundreds of feeds into new or existing campaigns!

Upcoming features

  • Improved export (to include campaign options, with an extended OPML)
  • Image thumbnailing
  • Improved importing with drag and drop
  • Advanced templates
  • Advanced filters

Known bugs

  • No Internet Explorer in RC1
  • Missing help files

FAQ

How do I link to the original site/article?

Use the post template feature (example: {content} <p><a href={permalink}>Link to the original site</a></p>)

Why isn’t the full article showing?

Because the site is only syndicating excerpts, not full content

Download

Click here to download WP-o-Matic 1.0RC3.

As this is a release candidate, bugs still can be expected. Note: every time WP-o-Matic is deactivated, tables are removed. This will only happen with RC releases.

WP-o-Matic is released under the MIT license.

Installation Instructions

Unzip wp-o-matic.zip in wp-content/plugins/ and enable it. A message will warn you to verify SimplePie is compatible with your setup. Follow the link in the box to do so.

Upgrading

Once WP-o-Matic reaches 1.0Stable, you’ll be able to update without rewriting tables. For now, uninstall any previous version of WP-o-Matic (make sure tables go away) and install the latest version.

Credits

WP-o-Matic makes use of the wonderful Simplepie library for the feeds parsing. Without Simplepie it’d be virtually impossible to provide reliable support for a variety of feed types and versions.

    - It seems there’s a PHP4-only fatal error I need to look into.
    - There’s been a category bug carried from previous versions I need to look into

    The missing help files is a known issue. I’m too lazy to write them all (for now)

    Thanks for feedback

    Do I need to uninstall the earlier version before I upload the new one? I just uploaded over the old version and I see no difference so far.

    WordPress 2.2.2, PHP 5.2

    I’ve installed, activated and everything seem to be working fine, but for a couple of issues:

    1) At the plugin’s dashboard, I see the messsage:

    ——-
    Your WP-o-Matic version is… up-to-date!
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/gbee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php:1348) in /home/gbee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 1349
    2) No matter what I try, filtering with Regex always sends back the error message:
    ——-

    I don’t know if this is with the plugin or something from my end. I simply unzipped and uploaded it. I swear I didn’t touch any file :-)

    2) No matter what I try, filtering by regex always cry foul with the message:

    —–
    The following errors have been encountered:
    * Rewrites: There’s an error with the supplied RegEx expression
    —–

    I’m trying to strip out all linked tags that are appended to a one-sentence-ish feed I’m fetching for a personal WAP-only site. [I mean I want to strip out linked text, not just the hyperlink]. Any help on the proper regex to use would be most appreciated.

    3) As some people have pointed out already, some of the help links don’t work. They turn out “file not found” errors.

    I’m still playing with it, and will write back if I discover something else. Thanks for the great work.
