INSTALL

-INSTALL
-=========
-0. (IMPORTANT) remove the files node_aggregator_convert.php from your root and the module directory if you are not converting from the old aggregator module (IMPORTANT)
-
-1. Delete the aggregator.module from your drupal installation:
-   rm /my/drupal/dir/modules/import.module
-2. Drop the tables in mysql:
-   DROP TABLE item;
-   DROP TABLE feed;
-   DROP TABLE bundle;
-3. install the new tables:
-   mysql -p database < naggregator.mysql
-4. Edit your .htaccess. Put a # in fron of this line:
-   php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference  Off
-5. Copy the naggregator directory to the modules directory
-6. Go to the admin section, then module selector and enable feed and item modules.
-   The import module is optional.
-7. Ensure cron is being called by either by your platform's cron facility or the poormanscron module.
-   See cron instructions at http://drupal.org/book/view/288
-8. Add feeds in 'admin/feed'
-9. Optional. Tag feeds with taxonomy terms. All incoming RSS items inherit
-the same taxonomy terms as their corrosponding feed.
-
-enjoy!

README-naggregator_convert

-README for node_aggregator_convert.php
-========
-This script allows you to update to the node-based aggregator, without losing all old feeds.
-
-1) BACKUP THE OLD DATABASE FIRST!
-2) de�stall the old aggregator.module
-3) intall the new naggregator.module but DO NOT install the MYSQL tables! yupdate takes care of that.
-4) Simply copy the naggregator_convert.php file to your root folder of the drupal installation.
-5) Point your browser to: http://example.com/node_aggregator_convert.php
-6) IMPORTANT: remove the files naggregator_convert.php from your root and the module directory
-7) If you skipped step 6, go back and do that now.
-8) update all feeds and import all items by running cron.php
-9) If you somehow forgot step six or seven, you should now remove naggregator_convert.php ;)

README.txt

-README.txt
-==========
-Previously this module was called node_aggregator.
-
-This is an alternative version of the aggregate module that comes with Drupal.
-Read the INSTALL file carefully.
-
-The main advantage of the node_aggregate module suite is that RSS items are stored as first class nodes. That means that they can be promoted to home page, queued, commented upon, etc.
-
-Further, RSS item nodes inherit the taxonomy terms that are assigned 
-to their corrosponding feed. This rich tagging of items with taxonomy tags creates interesting opportunities for pages consisting of composite feeds from various sites and even composite RSS feeds from multiple sites.
-
-All options you have for nodes (advanced browsing interfaces, permissions, free tagging etcetc) is available for all these items/ You understand that this is a huge advantage over the hardcoded aggregator in core. Ever tried to post an aggregated item on your frontpage? Indeed, that involves a lot of cutting and pasting :)
-
-FEATURES
-==========
- - Reads RSS 0.9x, 1.0 and 2.0 files
- - a block for each feed
- - (optional) auto-promotion of news items
- 
-BUGS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS ETC.
