Article-Generator Component

This native Joomla 1.5 component automatically generates new articles with own keywords by pulling text from any feed-source you want. It gives you the ability to set many different configurations for each feed-source. It keeps you’re site fresh and gives you’re visitors something to read and you have nothing to do. All is done by an cronjob - every 5 minutes, if you wish. It filters the feed-sources by keywords, generates a new article which automatically has own keywords, removes links, link-texts or images - if you want, adds advertising which you can change at any time you want, integrates the original article with an lightbox-effect and refreshes your own website-feed. There are many options to make it possible with every feed-source you want. The new articles improve your page SEO and make your site win positions in the search engines. Article-Generator is fully configurable and each feed-source can be configured with different parameters.

With these many options each article can be customized to your website and content and the new articles are added to your website just as if you wrote them yourself:

*post as different user
*choose section and category
*store original Author name in the article
*choose access group for the article
*show on frontpage
*expiration for the article from 7 days to 1 year (in predefined steps)
*auto-unpublish
*posting of original date
*set Feed-Date as created date
*insert advertising-field which you can change later for all written articles
*filter feed-source by keywords / negative keywords (to ignore posts)
*cut the article at any tag
*full text fetch on feeds that support it
*show intro with advert and no readmore
*show intro and then advert in readmore
*show intro and then fulltext with advert in readmore
*show intro in readmore or not
*Links inside the feed content are set with nofollow to improve SEO
*delete links or links and link-texts in intro or fulltext
*delete links from images in the feed content
*delete images in intro or fulltext
*switch Feed-Intro and Feed-Fulltext
*include link to original-article
*open original-article-link in Lightbox, Slimbox, Shadowbox or Squeezebox
*set JCE params like width and height
*use curl or fsockopen
*posting without repeating an article by checking the title
*Duplicate avoidance which is very useful for SEO purposes
*choose number of SEO-Keywords for the new article
*choose minimum length of SEO-Keywords for the new article
*blacklist of SEO-Keywords for the new article
*activate cronjob on the server or on www.cronjob.de to generate articles around the clock

I use this extension couple a weeks and my decision is two stars. Why?
1. Need better formatting options for content
2. Hard load - is hard for server to work with this extension, maybe php code is not well optimized. My host company say me: "buy vps from 50 euro monthly".
3. Crons are not working well. If you want to make huge site that retrieve many feeds from many sources and will work automatically is impossible to work on shared host.

This component does exactly what it says it can do. +++

I do have one question. I am not sure how to contact the developer. I am having issues with the cron job timing out with too much memory usage. Is there any setting I can adjust to allow only parts of my rss list to be run at a time. Sort of a batch?

This would be hugely helpful!

Thanks.

This is a great extension. This offered the exact solution I was looking for. I have had some experience with developing components and modules for Joomla! 1.5 but didn’t have the time to put together a sound solution. When I ran into an issue with getting images to render, I contacted Matthias. He is quick to respond and was more than willing to help resolve any issues I was having getting the extension to configured the way I wanted it to work . I would recommend this extension to anyone.

I had some issues with getting the feeds to show on my content and the developer was very quick to step in and offer support. He was able to help me through the whole process and even offered to log in and assist. I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in a hand free blog. This product is worth much more than i paid. I saw other products on the market that cost 5x the amount of this one and dont offer anymore features. To Matthias thank you for all your help!

Great extension, great support. If you are running a site where you would like to add news content but don't have time to write it yourself this is a 'must have' extension. It is very easy to install and configure.
Many thanks for creating this excellent extension.

Matthias is Very Good with support... It takes some patience as not all feeds behave the same... the end result is very good, very attractive.

The component does exactly what it says, it really takes some trial and error to get a good RSS feed. Matthias is very helpful he responds really quick and he was even willing to log in to my joomla admin and help me if I needed help.

Great support and a great product.

Your help in setting up the tweaks for Article Generator on my site has been impressive. Your response time and willingness to help exceeds those of other extension developers I have used. I had only some minor tweaks to have the articles display better and size the pop up window, which you configured for me, and the extension is now functioning great and looks great also. Your excellent customer service was, let's say nicely, refreshing compared to some other extension assistance I've experienced. I know that if you develop anything in the future I will certainly pay attention, and use if I can. I know it will function well out of the box, and, if needed, I will receive excellent support for anything I purchase from you.

I am not a complete newbie to Joomla but I look for the easy accessibility of support before buying/downloading any extension. The developer of this module replies promptly to emails and not only does he help in solving the problem, he also explains, inform and educate so much so that I feel I can also offer support to others on this extension. Thank you and well done, Mathias.

I bought this extension relying on the reviews posted on this page and I don’t regret it.
It’s now my turn to highly recommend both this product and the service.
As a newbie, it’s a great relief to count on the level of support offered by Matthias to get this must-have extension up and running. Faultless!

This extension is well worth the money. Actually it's unbelievably cheap considering the level of support it offers. I tried with several other extensions, but the results with this one was exactly what I needed:

- Automatically deletes the links from the articles
- Automatically deletes the images from the articles
- Lists intro parts of the links with a link to the original article
- Opens up the original articles in a light box type pop-up.

Had some issues with the configurations, but the developer helped me a huge amount with this. He actually made the final configuration himself, as a I gave him temporary super admin rights. All this within an hour from me contacting him!

All in all, this is an excellent extension with unbelievably good support from the developer. 5++ stars from me!
