The [silverstripe-feedreader](http://silverstripe.entidi.com/) module implements a new page type (*FeedReaderPage*) that can access the data contained in an external RSS 2.0 or ATOM 1.0 feed. The feed format is automatically deduced from its content, that is if the `//channel/item`[XPath](http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/) expression resolves to a non-emtpy list it is considered an RSS2 feed, otherwise it is considered ATOM1, and the `//feed/entry` expression will be used instead.

The main developement is done in `dev`: that is merged into `master` when stable enough. When this happens, an appropriate `2.*` release is tagged. `dev` and `master` branches, together with any `2.*` release, are compatibles with SilverStripe 4. For SilverStripe 3 you should take a look at the `ss3`branch and `1.*` releases.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

With composer:

```
composer require entidi/feedreader

```

Without composer, download [the tarball](https://github.com/ntd/silverstripe-feedreader/releases)and unpack it under the base directory. This method is not really tested, so it can be possible you will need to tweak something.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The default template (`templates/eNTiDi/FeedReader/Layout/FeedReaderPage.ss`) is compatible with [silverstrap](http://dev.entidi.com/p/silverstrap/) ^4.0 but it can be easily overriden by redefining the `FeedReaderPage.ss` file in your own theme with higher priority.

To provide access to the latest news, you can define a function similar to the following:

```
public function LatestNews()
{
    $news = DataObject::get_one('eNTiDi\FeedReader\FeedReaderPage');
    return $news ? $news->Items(1)->first() : null;
}

```

Then you can enhance your feed page with a template snippet, e.g.:

```

Latest news

    $Date.Date: $Summary.XML
    More ...

```
