I'm building a Joomla website that uses RSS Factory extension to import rss feeds from other websites into my Joomla website and convert them into Joomla articles. RSS Factory uses DOM parsers to parse the rss xml file and then convert that data into Joomla-formatted articles.
I need your help to fix the xml file because the imported articles are showing strange unicode characters in the article, are missing images and embedded objects (twitter posts, instagram posts, etc) and are not formatted correctly.
My ultimate goal for the xml parser is to scrape selected html websites (even those that do *not* have rss feeds), convert the html data into an xml file, import that xml file into Joomla RSS Factory and create Joomla articles from the imported xml data. I want the imported articles to be formatted as closely as possible to the original articles.
I have a web designer who has been working on this project for several months but is not able to resolve these issues. I need to hire someone immediately who is comfortable working with RSS, XML, dom parsers and other data scraping techniques to fix the xml file.
Please let me know if this is a project you are confident you can complete successfully and immediately. Thank you.
