xml = HTTParty.get("http://roopkt.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default").body.body)
This should take the feed_url and not be hardcoded?
Indeed it should. Users please note:
-
line 104:
xml = HTTParty.get({"http://roopkt.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"}).body
change this toxml = HTTParty.get({feed_url}).body -
lines 39, 40 , ie, the block:
title = post.title file_name = creation_date.to_s + "-" + title.split(/ */).join("-").delete('\/') + ".html"
with:
title = post.title safe_title = title.gsub(/[^0-9A-Za-z.\- ]/, '').strip.gsub(/\s+/, '-') file_name = "#{creation_date}-#{safe_title}.html"My import was failing due to special characters in the blog titles, like '?'. This edit is for sanitizing file names.
Thank you Rupesh, Talonx, and ChatGPT.
