Feeds will not 'import' correctly.
Certain feeds will not 'import' correctly.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but the easiest way to show the problem is to just show how to reproduce it. First I'm importing the following feed:
http://www.codeproject.com/webservice...
This feed lists all codeproject articles related to the C# category (cat=3 indicates C#) and works just fine if you navigate directly to it, or use it in google reader.
So I proceed to import the feed:
But then when i click on the feed, I notice that it's actually pulling in all articles:
When I do an export of the feeds, I notice that it uses this as the original URL:
<outline title="The Code Project Latest Articles" type="rss">
Notice the "cat=1", which I never typed or entered. It just sorta... decided to do that? cat=1 indicates "all articles" and is actually this feed: http://www.codeproject.com/webservice...
Any workarounds or tips for getting this feed working correctly?</outline>

Inappropriate?The post stripped out some important information... basically when I import the feed it includes the "articlerss.aspx?cat=3" parameter in the URL, however the application seems to change this to "articlerss.aspx?cat=1", which causes it to pull all of the articles into the feed instead of just the ones I want.
Hopefully this is clear. -
Inappropriate?Hi Shaun -- this is fixed: http://www.postrank.com/feed/33e2bee5...
Thanks for the heads up. Let me know if you notice any other quirky content. -
Inappropriate?Hi Melanie, Thanks for the fast response.
Well, that fixed it for completely for articlerss.aspx?cat=3 but not articlerss.aspx?cat=4 or articlerss.aspx?cat=6 - both still revert to cat=1 heh. (My goal was to combine these different categories into a single feed.) -
Inappropriate?No additional fixes for this to be implemented, so closing off this issue.
