Drupal 7 Feed Importer Notes.

Just a couple of notes I've made regarding the Feed Importer.

Using Views and Feeds to Import. 

Tips -

1. Save as ‘Windows Comma Separated Value’  
2. Just Import New nodes
3. We can expire nodes here. 
4. FEED TAMPER - use if you want to make modifications to any fields. i.e. many php functions like rewrite, regex etc.  

Whats comes with Feeds. 

1. Feed import
2. Feed Import Base
3. Feeds
4. Feeds Admin Ui
5. Feeds News
6. Feeds Xpath Parser

Twitter API working locally but not Live.

I had this issue recently and could not find and resolutions for it online.


After checking in Firebug > Dom >  I could see this issue

2015-08-25 10:03:24PHP errorPHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class OAuthException in jquery-social-stream/twitter.php on line 0 request_id="v-863a6920-4b10-11e5-bfa3-22000a22a668”


The solution for me here was to in the JQuery Social Stream JS file.  There is a class call for OAuthException  .  By wrapping that in an argument that checks whether it exists fixed my issue.

// redclare issue fixed by if statement

if (!class_exists('OAuthException')) {

  class OAuthException extends Exception {

    // pass

  }

}

 

error: unable to unlink old 'sites/default/settings.php' (Permission denied)

Here's and easy one I keep forgetting.

Not only do you need to change the permission on the file but the folder too.

Write the Compass sprite configuration that assembles a sprite sheet by placing each image in the "ui" sprite map where it best fits.

Write the Compass sprite configuration that assembles a sprite sheet by placing each image in the "ui" sprite map where it best fits. 

The answer for this is 

$ui-layout: smart;

What can catch you out here from the examples is the UI value ; which was ICONS in the video example will need to change depending on the map/folder being used.  

Error : Errno::EACCES on line * Permission denied

The answer for me was to delete all my .css files that where being created.
