This may turn out to be a feature request, but I'm looking for a way to add one or more tags to mirrored content.
Let me elaborate: I currently have several blogs -- 4 to be precise. Two are original content, and two are mirrored.
One of the mirrored blogs is called External News, and has many incoming feeds, and another is called Tidbits, and has some choice feeds (with one or two overlapping) that I want to display in a certain location with Feedburner.
Now, if there was an option to add a tag to a particular incoming mirrored feed, I would just have everything go to External News, and then I would use a search or Tag filter to choose the particular subset of feeds I would want to use in other blogs.
I hope I'm explaining myself correctly (I'm currently distracted by my lovely children, whom I think I shall spend some time with). If I lack clarity, please ask...
I'm going mostly from memory on my response, but there are 2 ways you could go about this. The 1st would be to write a CSModule that intercepts incoming posts, then test for the IsExternal property of the WeblogPost object (if it's true, the content is mirrored) and assign categories that way. Of course if you are assigning different categories for different mirrored sections you'll need to add additional logic to intercept the sectionID.
The 2nd solution would be to write a trigger at the database level to intercept the incoming posts and assign categories that way if you don't want to get your hands dirty w/ writing a CSModule.
Snag yourself a CS Tidbit!
Was a CSModule ever created for this, or was it implemented in the latest versions of CS?
