Features ======== [](#features) ### Toolbar [](#toolbar) As an example of usage there is a toolbar available ### Operator [](#operator) This solution provides the following eztpl operator: - Operator: `ezrssfeed` ### Dependencies [](#dependencies) - This solution depends on eZ Publish Legacy Use case ======== [](#use-case) This solution was created to provide a simple way to fetch and display rss feed content within your own website templates. Installation ============ [](#installation) Extension Installation via Composer ----------------------------------- [](#extension-installation-via-composer) Run the following command from your project root to install the extension: ``` ```bash $ composer require brookinsconsulting/ezrssfeed dev-master;``` ``` Extension Installation via Manual --------------------------------- [](#extension-installation-via-manual) Extract the ezrssfeed.tar.gz in your eZ Publish Legacy extension directory. Activate the extension ---------------------- [](#activate-the-extension) ### Activate the extension (via Admin) [](#activate-the-extension-via-admin) Either in adminitration interface: Go to "Setup" Go to "Extensions" Check the checkbox beside "ezrssfeed" Click "Activate" ### Activate the extension (via ini-files): [](#activate-the-extension-via-ini-files) ``` Add the following to your settings/override/site.ini.append.php file: ``` ``` [ExtensionSettings] ActiveExtensions[]=ezrssfeed ``` Usage ===== [](#usage) The extension can be used in two ways. Either as a toolbar or as an template operator. It can also be used as an example of how to create a toolbar. Toolbar ------- [](#toolbar-1) As an example of usage there is a toolbar available. Once the extension has been installed and activated there will be a "rssfeed" toolbar available in the administration interface. The toolbar makes it easy to add rssfeeds to your page. The settings are self explaining. Template operator ----------------- [](#template-operator) For more flexibility the operator can be used in your templates. The ezrss operator takes at a minimum one argument, the url of the RSS-feed. The available parameters are: - url: The url of the feed to download This parameter is required. - items: The number of items to return (set to 0 for all items) Default value: 4 - channeldata: Return channel data? Default value: False - imagedata: Return rssfeed image data? This might not be avaiable in all feeds. Default value: False ### Example Usage [](#example-usage) ``` {let slashdot=ezrssfeed("http://slashdot.org/index.rss", 4, true(), false()} ``` This will load the feed from the given url, return the 4 first items, with channeldata, without imagedata, and store this in the variable slashdot. Cache blocks ------------ [](#cache-blocks) Making sure the ezrssfeed is inside a {cache-block} is a *very* good idea, this will increase the performance of the site, and you won't download the feed everytime someone loads you page. Some sites may ban you for a period of time if you request the feeds to often. A complete example using the operator: ``` {cache-block expiry=300} {let feed=ezrssfeed("http://slashdot.org/index.rss", 10, true(), true() )} {$feed.channel.title.content} {section var=theitem loop=$feed.items} {$theitem.title.content} {$theitem.description.content|shorten(80)} {/section} {/let} {/cache-block} ``` The cacheblock has expiry of 300 seconds, which means the feed will be regenerated every 5 minutes. If you want to see the data eZRSS returns put the following in a template: ``` {let freshmeat_data=ezrssfeed("http://download.freshmeat.net/backend/fm-releases-unix.xml", 0, true(), true() )} {$freshmeat_data|attribute(show)} {/let} ``` Here we call ezrssfeed with a rssfeed url as a argument. The number of items is set to 0 which means every item in the feed. And we download both the channeldata and it will then open the url, parse it and return the data. The `attribute(show)` displays all available data. Testing ======= [](#testing) The solution is configured to work once properly installed and configured.
