Thread: Hacking the plugin to get location

Hacking the plugin to get location

Hi Bruno - love the plugin.

I want to further customize various feeds to slurp out the location. I can ask you to add an update, but better for everyone if we can figure out how to tweak it ourselves and then pass along the info in the event you want to update your plugin to feature it.

Specifically, I've been working with the Monster feed, here is an example feed searching for teachers in the US:

http://rss.jobsearch.monster.com/rss...=teacher&cy=us

Monster has configured their RSS standard to specify the city and state coded into the RSS Description field. So for example:
You can extract the standard two letter abbreviation for the state, and the city/town runs up to the first comma.

Assuming I can extract these fields reliably, how and where would I modify the plugin to shlep these fields into the location field for the listing? I'm working through the plugin, but the coding seems a bit dense. Hoping you can save me some time and maybe use Monster's feed as an example, thus improving your plugin for this feed in the process.

Thanks Bruno!
