The DataSync module was written to schedule and execute jobs and import data in a much more scalable and reliable way than with cron.php and hook_cron. It allows you to schedule and run module-definable types of jobs on multiple servers in a centralized way. It uses database transactions in order to ensure that no data is corrupted while running multiple jobs at the same time. DataSync keeps track of the status of jobs and what phase they are in, so that if a job fails it can intelligently decide how to proceed.

Using Views2, this module delivers a way to podcast with nodes that have CCK FileFields included as RSS file enclosures. It provides a podcast-compatible (as determined by Apple) RSS feed, using node variables, getID3, filefield in cck, and filefield meta data to generate the RSS tags.

Note: This module is being merged into the Mediafront Module. The Drupal 7 version of MediaFront will have the Dash media player included in the module download. For Drupal 6 users, there will be an update to this module in soon time that will add the Dash media player within the Mediafront module.

A media player built for Drupal CMS

This module is a helper module for the new Dash Media Player.

NEWS: The release of the drupal 7 version of this module is now out! All the credit to agerson.

This module provides a dynamic blogroll in a block.

>> Check out what it is/does in this demo! <<

The configuration is simple and intuitive. You only have to provide addresses of sites with valid feeds (such as http://drupal.org). Optionally, you can alternatively define their feeds directly (e.g. http://drupal.org/node/feed).

The blogroll will display the site's title and latest item (w. link) below. Once multiple sites are provided, the blogroll will effectively "roll" and the sites with latest updates will be on top.

Some additional settings can be configured, e.g. the persistence of an optional "new" tag, etc.

Until next major upgrade, this module requires the simplepie module to work. For the 7.x version, this patch to the simplepie module is required!

XML to KML allows you to generate KML data from existing XML documents such as RSS feeds. This KML data can be downloaded by visitors and opened in Google Earthâ„¢, allowing your site's news to be displayed geographically.

Why would I want to use XML to KML?
XML to KML allows you to display your site's news in a new and intuitive way. Visitors will be able to read your news stories directly in Google Earthâ„¢ according the the location of the story. Your news will be displayed in a way similar to the way New York Times news is displayed in Google Earthâ„¢.

FeedAPI Comments is a FeedAPI add-on for aggregating comments to your site.

It consists of a parser that pulls comments from a remote site and a processor that creates Drupal comments from it. You can alternatively use FeedAPI's node processor which allows you to create nodes from remote comments.

Currently supported sites:

• flickr.com
• youtube.com
• vimeo.com

Additional sites can be implemented by following the example of feedapi_comments/parser_comments/sites/vimeo.inc.

RSS feeds are only updated once in a while by feed readers. Comments might be updated anytime. Still, it would be cool to show the current number of comments on a given page, blog post, or whatever content. The feed-loving user can then tell in a glimpse if visiting the page will pay off, if there are comments at all or if there are new comments compared to an earlier visit on that page.

Allows search results from multiple drupal sites to be aggregated under the 'distributed search' tab.

Setup on the search client(s)

• enable the search, services, xmlrpc-server, solr_service modules.
• require the use of api keys and sessions for services
• create an api key for the search server on each client

Setup on the search server/homesite.

The Dataset module is for grouping nodes together in sets. A typical use case for this module is if you are importing data from a 3rd party in to nodes and you wish to know if a piece of data is no longer in a feed. If you update all the existing items in the feed, as you parse it, so they are in a new set, then any items that were not in the feed this time will be in an older set, so you know you can delete them because they are no longer valid. Dataset includes functions for performing bulk actions on nodes in a given set or sets.

A module that uses the nodeapi implementation for extra fields, like the module in Ian Ward's sandbox. It needs a minor patch to views_RSS (add the $view variable when invoking the nodeAPI) to be able to do some extra things (nested tags, only specified fields). It also supports multiple values.
