Partner Feeds 2

Partner Feeds is Django application which will read posts from an RSS or ATOM feeds and save them into a database for easy retrieval.

Installation

Add partner_feeds to the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        "partner_feeds",
        ...
)
PARTNER_FEED_UPLOAD_PATH = 'path/to/logo/uploads/'

Each feed has a partner logo which is saved in the location specified in settings.PARTNER_FEED_UPLOAD_PATH. If no value is specified for PARTNER_FEED_UPLOAD_PATH PartnerFeeds will instead use settings.UPLOAD_PATH + 'partner_logos' when saving and retrieving partner logo files.

Usage

Each partner has a feed and posts for that feed are automatically retrieved each time a partner is saved into the database. In order to get this syndicated content to continue updating, partner_feeds.tasks.update_all_partner_posts should be added as a periodic task in Djcelery.
