Question about passing through items using feedexpander

[Deanosim]

I've been working on my first bridge, but I'm having problems getting the categories to passthrough from the original feed, my code is here So just wondering if anyone could give me some advice, I've figured out most of it from reading other bridges but I've noticed that most of them don't seem to deal with tags.

At this time, categories (and uid) are not parsed by FeedExpander parseItem. I recommend that you open an issue to track this legitimate feature request.

The way to get around this is to use the original newsItem. This works for me:

		// Parse Categories
		$categories = array();
		foreach($newsItem->category as $cat) {
			$categories[] = (string) $cat;
		}

		if (!empty($categories)) {
			$item['categories'] = $categories;
		}

You can also do a similar thing to extract the uid:

		if (!empty($newsItem->guid)) {
			$item['uid'] = (string) $newsItem->guid;
		}

For the rest of your code, L43-L50 are unnecessary unless you are assigning to them (L47) because parent::parseItem() already extracts those keys if they are available. They also cause warnings when the keys are unassigned, like when an article has no enclosure.

Thank you so much that's exactly what I was looking for, got it working perfectly now.
Well apart from the image link being in the description text for some reason, but it's not a huge deal.

Update: Just realized that's probably because I have it extracting the image from the HTMLDOM and inserting it at the top of the content. that can probably be solved by putting it in an enclosure array.

Update2: Figured out enclosures and have everything working perfectly now :)
