This is not a simple webcrawler, it allows you to add some clear editing rules - for instance to remove the menu frames from the original website, or some advertisements. To create rules you will only need to add HTML tags that specify when the story starts and where it will end. With Import2Content you can also enable a Word Filter which allows you to only import the articles that contain specific words or which contain none of them.

Hi, i’m using RSS Factory since age on my blog, and i just moved of host, so i faced an annoying error message on RSS factory that forced me to upgrade the module, so i pay nearly 40€ for that, but the error remain, it was determined that the error message was related to the new open base dir restriction that my host use, (you have to know that open base dir is a good pratice recommended for joomla for security purpose) so Erick gave me a release 3.22 of the module who was seem able to handle such restriction, i installed the module and the message went, but when updating the rss flux the module hang on « processing request » and nothing happen, if you refresh the page the flux is well updated but that a shame for a module of this price, after nearly two week of figth, the final word of this « factory » of non sens is :
We already replied to this in previous tickets.
Its not a component issue, its a hosting issue.

So if you plan to use this module check that your host don’t use open base dir, or you will have no support at all,

I use RSS Pro for Years to make Sport News joomla articles from RSS for a big sport portal.
It does the job without any problems/ I end up with nice new Joomla articles with image every day, automatically. Does any other RSS reader can do that?
Always work perfectly and I get a good support from the Developer.
Thank You RSS Pro

I find the product a mess and a time consuming tool. It gave me a feeling of an uncompleted product. Functions like tabbing, content previews, layout have a most unclear functionality.
The ambitions are probably high and perhaps later on we'll see a product worth paying for.

It's unfair to receive such a negative review, since we are always taking customers feedback very seriously.
The current layout was developed based on our customers suggestions and till now we did not received any complaints. It would have been more productive for all of us, if you would have helped us, by communicating with us these aspects and explaining them.
After using the free version for more then 1 year in several websites i was convinced to
purchase the PRO version, and i was never sorry. The great additional features and the nice
new views are great, administrator back end is as easy as in the free version, but has more
options. The best thing about this one is the import to content feature that helped me create
a brand new website packed with content in no-time.
Support is smooth and the response is quick – i got all i needed through their ticketing system,
but forum looks fine too. Thanks guys, keep it up!

I'm using RSS Factory Pro on my educational site and I couldn't be happier. It allows us to provide relevant news from multiple sources in an unlimited organizational structure. There is no other component out there that comes close to the functionality of RSS Factory Pro!
We're not even using the feeds to content feature, great for those looking to generate site content, and it's still one of the best investments that I've made on any of my Joomla sites.
Many thanks to the good folks at The Factory for providing the functionality that allows us to develop a definitive news source for our students!

the extension looks like its cool, but the support is terrible, if you need support you need to request in a forum. I have 3 days with a issue posted in the forum without receive any response. I just compared with other extensions that i receive support in less than 12 hours, here not.
Too expensive extension for NOT SUPPORT!

MrAngelo,
As i have noticed in our forums your complains are regarding the FREE version of RSS Factory.
For the free version we have no prioritary support, as you for sure fully understand.
For 24 hour replies we suggest you purchase the RSS Factory PRO, and you get not only additional features but also import to content of full news articles.
