Cristi's wonderful work :) http://friendfeed.com/cristi - Michael W. May
cool, it is greatly appreciated! any idea where there is a post about it? - Mike Chelen
I don't know that he's ever posted about it directly in one unified post. He's commented here and there on it along with others giving him props ( http://friendfeed.com/search... and http://friendfeed.com/search... ) - Michael W. May

I use FriendFeed to feed some of my Twitter feeds. The problem is that when I do that, the Twitter feed also contains the author (my name) which is very annoying. This pipe takes the URL of a FriendFeed and truncates the usename entered from the title. // Purpose The SML Fine Art (FriendFeed) grabs content from the following Flickr Groups pool: * http://flickr.com/groups... * http://flickr.com/groups/smlbw * http://flickr.com/groups... * http://flickr.com/groups... It is a public FriendFeed group and anyone can post and add their content. Screenshot: http://friendfeed.com/smlfine... flickr:4026394191 SML Fine Art's Twitter feed uses TwitterFeed as a service to then post those contents (which include the group pool as well as posted FriendFeed content) onto Twitter as tweets. The problem is, when I post stuff to the group, the tweets ended up having my full name displayed as well, which is very annoying, as it looks as if I'm doing personal promotion - and... more... - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Pipes: FriendFeed API v2 (proof of concept)
Thanks a lot. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
LouCypher, I filled in each type of field (except audio) and clicked Run Pipe, but nothing appears to have happened. - Micah Wittman
Micah, it worked for me. I posted this entry using this pipe itself. - LouCypher
Lou, you declare explicitly »This Pipe may require all fields to have values before it will run successfully. Please provide values into any empty field above and press "Run Pipe."« but then your [=this] posting has nowhere near the number of apparently required elements. If the values/args can be [nil] or »""«, or maybe »" "«, please indicate that. Above all, I'd like to read a usage scenario in which this could be of, hmmm…, use [over and above mere proof of concept]. - ianf ⌘
Yay. Generated http://friendfeed.com/thedod... like a charm, audio and all. Well done - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
How much time did it save over posting that in the old, "missionary" fashion? - ianf ⌘
@ianf, only fields with * are required, you can leave the other fields empty. - LouCypher
so, you're essentially using a pipe to post to friendfeed? - chrisofspades
@Chris, I do sometimes, using v1 API http://pipes.yahoo.com/loucyph... - LouCypher
@Micah and @Genie, did you enter the correct remote key? http://friendfeed.com/remotek... - LouCypher
Lou, I just re-tried in Chrome and it worked! (I used the remotekey each time). My first attempts wre in Firefox - my guess is there's was a conflict with Firebug (or maybe NoScript, but I allowed all domains *shrug*). - Micah Wittman
I see. I don't have Firebug on my Firefox, that's why. - LouCypher
Firebug in the latest version of Firefox has been temperamental. Frequent browser restarts while dubugging JS helps. - Micah Wittman
Anyway, nice job on the pipe, LouCypher. Just released, and there's already exciting things popping up using the new API v2 :) - Micah Wittman
I used this image URL http://friendfeed-media.com/1dbdccc... (no extension) and it worked for me. What's your image URL? - LouCypher
I may be misreading things in a wider [than Pipes] context, but I thought the new FF API v2, as per recent Firehose announcement (which presumably relies on it) no longer required RemoteKey use? "[FF Firehose] is controlled by simple OAuth. This also means users of FriendFeed-based applications will no longer need to get their special key to manually enter as was previously required" <http://staynalive.com/article...> - right, this isn't an FF-app… - ianf ⌘
Unfortunately, that's the problem with Yahoo Pipes, you can't use OAuth with it. - LouCypher
This looks cool, but with FriendFeed's 3 mp3 files a day limit - you could only use it once a day to upload audio files. - Chris Loft
That's for upload only, the API is using/hotlinking mp3 URL from other server. You can post as much as you want. http://friendfeed.com/zoolcar... - LouCypher
Is there any way to add video attachment support? Thanks - Mike Chelen
@LouCypher Thanks for the group invite! :D - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Fwd: Using jQuery's JSONP support to get data from Yahoo! Pipe - Messages from mrhaki - http://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2009... (via http://friendfeed.com/howtheb...)
jsonp seems to be the most practical format for returning information to javascript, and jquery is a good tool for working with and presenting that data - Mike Chelen

"So why use yahoo pipes for your app? Well there are several reasons. Yahoo Pipes lets you parse websites and rss feeds, combine them, etc. You can take a website that has no rss feeds and make custome ones for it which is what we will be doing today. You can also modify rss feeds to show up how you want." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet
the pipe takes an html page and converts it to a multimedia rss feed which compatible with boxee - Mike Chelen

Querying html using Yahoo YQL - Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
Q: "While trying to parse html using Yahoo Query Language and xpath functionality provided by YQL, I ran into problems of not being able to extract “text()” or attribute values." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet
A: "YQL requires the xpath expression to evaluate to an itemPath rather than node text. But once you have an itemPath you can project various values from the tree" - Mike Chelen

Gaith, please check if a story has already been posted into the rooms before you do. I've had to delete a number of your posts because they'd already been posted in there. Cheers - Zee.
and Gaith, don't post this to yahoopipes group. This group is about Yahoo Pipes http://pipes.yahoo.com/ not Yahoo - LouCypher
ok thanks and i am sorry i did not know, my twitter feed goes here, so i post on FF the story directly so the pic looks here it is much nicer than a text, what do u suggest? - Gaith

Yahoo! Pipes Blog: New Create RSS and RSS Item Builder Modules
"When using source modules other than Fetch Feed, the data structure is often not reflective of a RSS structure. When viewing the Pipe as RSS or on the Pipe info page, the results seem to be empty and many users ask on the message boards "why can't I see my data?" So we created 2 new modules, the Create RSS module and RSS Item Builder Module." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet
much more convenient than the old method of copying fields to new RSS names - Mike Chelen

Does anyone here know of Yahoo pipes to filter paper alert feeds from Pubfeed, specific journals or similar?
just curious: why not just using NCBI rss feeds ? - Pierre Lindenbaum
Not every paper of interest to me is on NCBI. And to avoid confusion, I have now replaced "HubMed" by "Pubfeed" ( http://pubfeed.cs.toronto.edu/ ) as the example in my question. - Daniel Mietchen

Time for CJF Pipes Madness :) - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF from Bookmarklet
This is awesome stuff, Lucio! I didn't even see that crawl timestamp you converted to the pubDate. I think I'll use this in Feed-buster when a Google Reader feed is submitted :). - Ivan Zuzak
Btw. what do you mean by "pipe of pipes" ? - Ivan Zuzak
That every pipe you want to "use into a pipe" (by dropping it from left-menu) have as input a feed or a webpage, you can't use it "in the middle" of an item feed analysis redirecting stream of item into it.. and this limits construction of "pipes as module" http://friendfeed.com/yahoopi... - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF
I've just imported this pipe of my Google Reader shares as a blog feed. Is it meant to also pull images from the shares like Feedbuster does? I tried pulling the pipe as a custom/rss feed but it didn't show any entries at all. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
lelapin
Has anybody encountered same problem I'm having with the "sort Operator"? Error message I get reads this "Could not determine type for 'pubDate', using 'text' sort." How can I sort (descending/ascending) dates otherwise?
Have you connected the 'sort' module to a 'source' module? And does the 'source' module have results? - LouCypher
@LouCypher the thing is it used to work and it doesn't anymore. I'm no expert in Yahoo!pipes only copy/paste what others, more proficient than me in that field, do and adjust to the best I can for what I want. Another thing I don't understand: http://friendfeed.com/lelapin... is not parsed when http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... is. How come? - lelapin
@lelapin can you provide the link to your pipe? - LouCypher
pubDate sometimes is different for different feeds, and sometime.. there is not a pubDate :) .. i saw this error where there's not a pubDate :) - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF
"pubDate" is used in RSS format, "published" in Atom format. You should use YPipes special item "y:published" to sort. - LouCypher
@zoolcar9 thanks a lot. link_saving: pubDate": RSS format, "published": Atom format. - lelapin
