Some problem in importing the XML feeds on to the blog by using the feed importer

[ShyamSundar]

Hi Team,

I have used the below mentioned link for the feed importer option which is available

https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/social_communities/blogs.html;

At the bottom line, after the specified interval of time the imported data(xml data) should appear on the blog. But after incorporating the changes, I couldn't notify any sort of imported data after specified amount of time. My logs are as follows

22.01.2014 14:41:45.219 *INFO* [pool-6-thread-5] com.day.cq.polling.importer.impl.PollingImporterImpl importData: Importing data from rss:http://localhost:4502/content/dam/gsk/rssFeeds.xml to /content/geometrixx/gsk-blog as admin by com.adobe.cq.social.blog.impl.importer.FeedImporter@73f6fb

Can you folks help me out what could be down for obtaining the imported xml feeds in the blog/page ??????

One thing notable in the logs is the first line you show:

 Importing data from rss:http://localhost:4502/content/dam/gsk/rssFeeds.xml to /content/geometrixx/gsk-blog as admin

by com.adobe.cq.social.blog.impl.importer.FeedImporter@73f6fb

/content/dam is ACL controlled in CRX and authorization is failing to find the xml (you placed?) there.

Another point is you placed the gsk-blog directly under /content/geometrixx/.  It is recommended to locate it under /content/geometrixx/en/

If you want to experiment, why not try with the Geometrixx demo blog (http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en/blog.html) and  an external RSS feed.

Try using http://www.kqed.org/quest/blog/feed/

I just tried that and it worked.

I hope that helps.

I have passed this on to the doc team. I am hoping to get an answer for this question.

If the URL you are importing requires authentication (which is likely the case if you are accessing an author server), then you need to provide the username and password in the URL, i.e. http://username:password@localhost:4502/content/dam/gsk/rssFeeds.xml
