Hi,
I'm looking to make some automatic changes and additions to the feeds I'm posting, due to agreements that my client has with content providers. I haven't seen mention of the specific functionality so I assume it's not built in. I'm just wondering if you could point me to the code that I should update.
I need to adjust the content before it's entered into the database in a number of ways: I need to limit the amount of content taken from the external site to 100 words; we require a javascript warning dialog to inform users any links are to an external site, when they click on the link; and each post needs to have a disclaimer for the content coming from an external site.
I'm also looking to set the created_by_alias field for the post, using a specific name for each feed. The names aren't users in Joomla.
These may be considerations for future releases but, for the moment, I'm hoping you can direct me to the part of code that I can incorporate these changes.
An example of what we're looking for - which has been manually edited - is at

Here's a post taken through Feed2Post 1.3.1:
http://ieatidrinkiwork.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6347&Itemid=1
You may notice the content is repeated there in the intro and body of the post. It looks like the update to 1.3.2 has taken care of that problem. However, as I was testing that fix, I noticed this error: "A feed could not be found at
http://tankeduptaco.blogspot.com/atom.xml"
although the posts do display for selection.
Is there a full changelog from the 1.3 branch to the version 2 branch? From the description in the details, it seems that the only difference is that version 2 is J! 1.5.1 native. The other features listed on the details page look like they're all included in v1.3.2.
Thanks,
Brett
