Hi matthew,
I maintain an aggregator for drupal. (Feeds). I use a drupal-
independent library for all the pshb related lifting:

Pádraic, That's neat. I hadn't seen the ZFPlanet thing before.
Regarding the Wordpress plugin. If you refer to Joseph Scott's
plugin I believe it acts as a publisher or a hub. I haven't seen
anything that acts like a client in Wordpress yet, which would
probably be what you need to make an aggregator.
I'm working on that now in case someone knows of something I missed.
I hate to waste/duplicate effort. ; )

Hi Vimal,
The question depends on a lot of factors, so I'll stick to broad
design approaches and offer an example in PHP you can examine in
detail.
The main thing is that any current aggregator has to deal with both
PuSH enabled and non-PuSH enabled feeds. So you're really building
two distinct systems. Obviously building in twice the complexity
isn't a great idea so a good approach is to keep the following
separate:
1. Polling of feeds.
2. Processing of feeds.
3. Handling of processed entries.
This is the core of any aggregator but the separations are important
once you bring in PuSH. Adding PuSH includes adding:
4. PuSH processing (callbacks, subscriptions, unsubscriptions)
But with the first three, you can reuse 2 and 3 for all incoming
PuSH notifications. It's a common aggregator mistake to merge the
polling (fetching) with the processing making them hard to separate
and reuse for PuSH.
Onto the example, I created a demo application for PuSH (a simple
aggregator) for the Zend Framework (PHP). In the application, all
processing is performed within a Model (this takes over from the
moment a feed is either polled or received via PuSH notification
callbacks). You can find the source code at:
http://github.com/padraic/ZFPlanet
Please feel free to ask any questions on how it operates on or off
list. It gives a broad example of the database schema, the use of
Zend_Feed_Pubsubhubbub (if your question is related to PuSH
implementation itself you can look there also - http://framework.zend.com
), and some simple scripts for use with cron to schedule polling.
You should also note that Wordpress and Drupal both have PuSH
plugins/modules you may want to research depending on how/if your
aggregator is being built on either of these platforms.

Subject: [pubsubhubbub] Aggregator with Pubsubhubbub?
Hey guys, I was wondering how to make an aggreagtor with PuSH. I
couldn't figure out how to start with it. I just developed websites
with drupal and wordpress before. Can you please explain me the basics
to start with an aggregator with PuSH? Please?
