#5 Parsing Blogger ATOM feeds

[Richard Warriner]

I have successfully tested your component on some
RSS feeds but the one i really want to use it with is the
atom feed from my blog, which is auto created by
Blogger.

Using the AddTest example on your site i have read the
file in and it identifies all the postings, with their
headers, dates, urls etc but the actual post body is
empty.

Is this format supported fully yet?

If you want to test it see http://www.the-
warriners.org/atom.xml or use attached

Thanks

Also see how each post has 2 links, the first like
https://www.blogger.com/atom/7972549/11206648556142109
5 and the second like http://www.the-
warriners.org/blog/2005/07/long-time-no-post.html

The component seems to return the first one in the .link
property but it would be more use the have the other. I dont
know how much if this is a Blogger issue and not really to do
with parsing? But in order to be useful to me it would need to
give the second url.

This doesnt help a lot but it does some

In simpleparseratom comment out lines shown and replace with
the ones under. It works for most.

// if (aTempNode.ChildNodes.Count>0) then begin
// Description :=
ChildNodes.Nodes[Counter].ChildNodes.FindNode(reContent).ChildNodes.Nodes[0].NodeValue;
// end else begin
// Description :=
ChildNodes.Nodes[Counter].ChildNodes.FindNode(reContent).NodeValue;
// end;
if (aTempNode.ChildNodes.Count>2) then begin

Description:=atempnode.childnodes.Nodes[1].childnodes.Nodes[0].nodevalue;
end else begin
Description := atempnode.NodeValue;
end;
