Understanding HTML Parser replace and images

Dear matrixino,

It would be best if you can provide a link to your RSS Feed (because I have a bad imagination and it’s kind of hard to follow, haha :”) ).

But I think the “1” in your replace command line should be “4”, if you put it at the bottom of the code lines bunch.

If you want to put it at the top, then the numbers in your wrap must be changed accordingly, since the order of the code lines was changed, right?

For example, you can try these two code blocks:

ginner|0|div|file-image|0|1|
ginner|0|h1|article-title|0|1|
ginner|0|div|field-type-text-with-summary|0|1|
wrap|1,2,3|{ogb-0}{ogb-1}{ogb-2}|
replace|4|src="|src="https://mainsite.com|

or

replace|4|src="|src="https://mainsite.com|
ginner|1|div|file-image|0|1|
ginner|0|h1|article-title|0|1|
ginner|0|div|field-type-text-with-summary|0|1|
wrap|2,3,4|{ogb-0}{ogb-1}{ogb-2}|

Please try the code and let me know if it works. I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you.

Accordingly, since your Parser Code failed to fetch a valid image URL, your Get Images processor was unable to fetch images, so it returned an “undefined” value. I believe that it will be able to get your post images for you when the problem with Parser Code is resolved.

With best regards.

Thank you! I was able to show them correctly with your code.
However I’m still unable to get the images for the “Get images” processor.
In the post they works just fine and I can retrieve them, but the getimage processor can’t seems to find them. Once I load my pipe it says Array in po[images], but as soon as i set po[fulltext] or po[full_html] as source it becomes undefined. I exported my pipe so you can check HERE
Also there is a way to choose in which category to put the post based on title matching or something?

Dear matrixino,

Your pipe worked fine on my test site when I leave the Origin Url box in Get Images processor Settings panel blank :”) Because I’ve changed the image short URLs from your source to exact ones with my Parser Code, you don’t need to configure the Origin URL in Get Images processor anymore.
Please try it and tell me if it works on your side.

For now we haven’t had anything to take care of choosing Category automatically yet, so I am afraid that your request will have to wait for a future version.

Best regards.

It’s not running correctly here even with Origin empty (I almost tried everything there actually).
It says “invalid url of image, could not get image from Source”.
Can you export your working pipe so I can test?

Also I have Get to Local Yes to /wppipes/images, but can’t find that folder in my filesystem. Is it relative to the theme or to the root? I don’t have any image saved locally, all the src in the post are external images.

Also wanted to point that I’m using this replace:

ginner|0|div|file-image|0|1|
ginner|0|h1|article-title|0|1|
ginner|0|div|field-type-text-with-summary|0|1|
wrap|1,2,3|{ogb-0}{ogb-1}{ogb-2}|
replace|4|src="/|src="https://site.com/|

because while the first image is relative to their website, the article ones have a full url in src. So I just replace the src of the heading one.

Sure, here you go: lol-it.pipe

Please remember that you will need to click Save 1-2 times with imported pipes for the settings to be saved, and Test in Update mode (click on the small arrow next to Test this Pipe button and you’ll see it), for pipes that already posted in your system.

Please inform me if you need any further assistant.

Best regards.

Hm, it still gives me “invalid url of image, could not get image from Source” even if the post is actually imported with all the images. It just can’t seems able to set the post image. All the requirements are ok on my server. What could it be? Is there a debug output mode for me to check?

I believe there is an option that turn on “debug mode” in wp-config.php:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
Please change “false” to “true” to turn on debug with WordPress.

Or you should re-install WP Pipes with our newest version.
Please inform us if there is any bug. We would try to catch it real fast :”)

Best regards.

I’m already using the latest 1.16, unless there is a git/svn testing repo available.

Dear matrixino,

I’m afraid that the svn is unavailable. However I’ve re-built your pipe to make Get Fulltext processor change only the link of the featured image:Fixed lol-it.

This pipe worked fine on my system and fetched all images to my server. The corresponding folder for those images should be ~your-wordpress-folder>>wp-content>>uploads>>images>>wppipes (please view the this screenshot).

Please erase your old pipe and every post it made from your WordPress (and empty the Trash too) before you test, and please don’t change anything in the Settings, since I’ve adjusted some options to clean the a tag for your content. I’ve also changed all image URLs with Parser Code, so please don’t add Original information for the processors. It would only makes Pipes confuse and unable to find the images.

If it still don’t work, I think you should re-install WP Pipes, because in that case the cause could be something wrong in your Get Images processor.

Best regards.

Thanks for your time. I tried again with no luck.
I’ll make another try from scratch on another server I own and let you know how it goes.

Regards

Dear matrixino,

How has it been for you, my friend?
Was you able to fix the problem? Actually pipes can run all right on localhost too, so if setting up a server is trouble some for you, you can do it with xampp and your localhost.

Please let me know if you need further assistant. I would be looking forward to hearing from you.

With best regards.

Yes, I’ve been able to get it working on my own server. Before I was trying it on a dotster hosting plan and seems like they block something to make it work fully. However in my own root servers it works perfectly.

The only problem I’m having now is that in my posts content i have this at the beginning “<div></div><div>” and I can’t seem to avoid it even if I use a replace|<div></div><div>||.

I want to add that those divs are empty only if I set “Remove images make list out html”

Dear matrixino,

It’s so good to hear from you again :”)
I’m afraid that I won’t have time to look into your pipe until my weekend starts, but I will check back on Saturday.
Before that I would like to ask if you have assigned a ‘line’ parameter for your “replace” command yet? Because the command wouldn’t work if you don’t tell it where to take the input string from.

With best regards.
