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

Matthias is DA MAN. Very proactively helped me even thou I told him I very new to the Joomal. Extension is soo easy to intall and configure that a person like me who heard about Joomla a week ago, is able to install and configure it in not time. Customer support is best to none. If you are News site, you need this.

I've purchased all the components in this category and this one has the best features by far. For the 14 bucks this component costs you could not go wrong.

There are only three things that this component lacks:

1. An English support site
2. The keyword filter does not work so essentially all entries that are pumped out from an rss feed will get published as an article regardless of the keywords you enter in the positive keyword filter.
3. When you view the articles(items) before you post, the tool should include a delete option to remove specific entries so that they do not get pushed to articles.

Other than these 3 setbacks, this is the best automatic articles component in the market right now for joomla. This is why I gave it a good review and not an excellent review.

For those looking to offer news on their website this is the ticket. Automate with a cronjob or use his recommended web address to do it. Both work equally well. We are using it to bring in local news on the hour and it works great. Layout on the Front page or link to a section or category. A multitude of options make your page into a news factory. If you are updating your news from feeds by hand you are working in the dark ages. Support is prompt and very helpful. An excellent component for an excellent price. Thank you!

Thanks Matthias!!!

Looking for a way to populate a site with regularly updated news? This is it.

Instead of the standard RSS Feeds which provide a list of items, this really neat component turns the feeds into articles of any predefined length, with or without images and allows you to add your own advertising blocks as well, all this in selectable categories to which you create, for example, a blog link.

I really like this component, and the developer, Mathias, is really helpful when things go wrong!

I will use this component in any site I build which requires rich content. Great stuff!

Being site impaired I needed a program to automate my site a little. It makes it easy not having to pick which articles from the RSS feeds I monitor everyday. It adds them to the front page as easy as 123. The only issue I have is it adds a start publishing date and time that is two hours offset from my server time. Making any article clicked from the latest module give a 404 until the time has been caught up with. Thank you for a great product.

Works just as it says. I am very pleased with all the content I can generate with the click of a button. The developer's site has good documentation to get you started - which was very easy. Some of my server settings were off and it was very easy to sort that out with the developer's help. You are somewhat dependent on your source's RSS feeds so he also made a couple of suggestions how I could use the component better. This is going to make me look good in a lot of my user's eyes.

Thanks, Matthias, for your prompt and courteous assistance.
