Blackhole smartfeed

Submitted by ppfr on Wed, 2008-02-13 05:43. Feature Requests

Could you add a way to filter out articles from FR database? Conditions should be the same as for smartfeeds. Example: feed name is xxx and title contains yyy and tag is zzz.
-
Filtering-out article with smartfeeds is nice, but not sufficient: feeds are just not displayed in the smartfeed, but remain in FR database. What I need is that filtered-out articles get deleted before they can make it to FR's database. This should not replace smartfeed functionnality, but come as an additional tool.
-
A different way to voice this request is a special "black hole" smartfeed: when an article lands in this smartfeed, it should be immediately deleted (also from the original feed). It is a bit the opposite philosophy of the "MyArchive" smartfeed where articles are protected and can be deleted only under special circumstances.

I already asked for this for a while but the developers seems to no listen this.

This FR is near professional, but mistake of engineering of this kind make bad the user experience and so no more professionality ....

Automatically deleting filtered articles...

Submitted by ppfr on Thu, 2008-02-14 12:46.

1) Yes, but in this case deleting requires a manual action. Automatic delete is more convenient. Besides, manually deleting feeds when there are duplicates has a bug inside FR when similar articles are grouped.

2) I gave up using yahoo pipes because I ran into several problems in the past. Besides, I would like only 1 tool to do it all (FR, hopefully).

3) Will look into this. Could you tell me more about scripts? Can this be implemented in real time (1 article arrives and is immediately deleted)? Does FR provide an interface to develop those scripts or does it have to be an external tool? In this case, what tool do you recommend?

please give pipes another

please give pipes another try...it's really neat and you can do a lot of advanced stuff there :-)

3) the firebird db can only have one user connected at a time
so no real time (mysql can)

i use ms access & IBmanager when editing the DB..
(http://www.sqlmanager.net/products/ibfb/manager)

..so conclusion, if you know a little bit of sql and db's use
nr 3 if not stick to 1 or 2

"But in some days we will make Feedreader Connect available for purchase. It will be based on 3.12 and will quite always be up to date in the future. Also it removes the limitations that are available in demo right now."

will be very interesting i think :-)

(just a point, you can (i beleive) set up a trigger within firebird DB with IB manager (haven't tried that yet though)
to delete som posts or do other stuff)
