Missing feed items author

[redtide]

I see that at https://github.com/feedparser/feedparser/issues/3 this feature was implemented but when running pluto update planet.ini I get an empty author field in the database for each item. I'm sure that most of the ATOM and RSS feeds contains the author name (which is visible in the current planet website). I'm using pluto 1.3.4 and feedparser 2.1.2.

Thanks for suggesting the missing author/authors field/fields. I try to update the database schema and feed item import with the next pluto update (that might take some weeks). You can find the current database schema @ https://github.com/feedreader/pluto/blob/master/pluto-models/lib/pluto/schema.rb#L143 PS: Do you have an example (multi-author) feed? What author info do you want to see added e.g. just some records of strings (author names) or more?

I need to display the post author name as set in the original RSS feed and/or ATOM, not what is set as title in planets.ini. The example is http://planet.linuxaudio.org: at the end of each post the post's author is in a by <author> at <date> line. My pluto version is at https://redtide.github.io/plutone/ where authors are replaced with the post title.

Thanks for sharing and highlighting the example. I see - makes definitely sense for multi-author feeds. I will add all the authors (as string columns) with the next update (alas, that might take some weeks). Thanks for the patience. Cheers. Prost.

Thanks, BTW, what do you mean with string columns? Shouldn't be just a single column in the items table?

Sorry for the enterprise version - there can be many authors (in theory) - and, thus, the plan is to add a one-to-many author table with a string column. I will add a convenience author method that only gets you the first (or nothing) same as authors[0] - that matches / mirrors also the feedparser that matches / mirrors the rss/atom feed structure (as far as I can remember). Cheers. Prost. Note: It is not taking so long because of has_many but because I have to get some basics fixed that are broken for months in another project (that is, sportdb) and I'm not good at "multi-task" coding and "context-switching" (e.g. I can only do one thing for some days and than some others). Anyways, thanks for your comments.
