Autoblog Automatic Categories?

0

I couldn’t see a way so thought I would ask……

Rather than just assigning all blogs on one feed to one given category can you let Autoblog assign and create categories like FeedWordPress does?

In a similar way as to what it does for tags but for categories as well?

    Well its pretty much an more complex version of your autoblog, I've attached a screen shot of the category part of the admin.

    Basically, Feedpress will take a feeds inline tags and categories and then add them to the inbound website, if the tags and categories don't exist it makes them.

    @tim – can you provide a link to an RSS you want to use? Depending on the RSS (well most of the ones i checked when developing autoblog), they don’t separate tags and categories within the feed.

    Now, with the latest version of Autoblog we can override some of the behaviour and also parse the content for extra bits of information such as inline tags – but if you can give me an example feed then I can see if I can put together an add-on that will handle this type of thing.
