The database structure was changed. To smooth the migration, run the update wizard from the Extension Manager. The script will take care of building the Flex Form and change the `list_type` plugin signature. It is recommended to backup table `tt_content`!!! [![https://raw.github.com/fabarea/rss_display/master/Documentation/Manual-07.png](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5b514572509f92593516c89f41d549e8bb3de2fb1b27ec567b606b6df44a7c12/68747470733a2f2f7261772e6769746875622e636f6d2f666162617265612f7273735f646973706c61792f6d61737465722f446f63756d656e746174696f6e2f4d616e75616c2d30372e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5b514572509f92593516c89f41d549e8bb3de2fb1b27ec567b606b6df44a7c12/68747470733a2f2f7261772e6769746875622e636f6d2f666162617265612f7273735f646973706c61792f6d61737465722f446f63756d656e746174696f6e2f4d616e75616c2d30372e706e67) ### Plugin type USER\_INT vs USER [](#plugin-type-user_int-vs-user) In the Extension Manager, it can be decided whether to handle the cache by the plugin or by the global cache preferences. This is known to be [USER\_INT vs USER](http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/6.0/ContentObjects/UserAndUserInt/Index.html). If set to USER\_INT the default cache duration is 3600 seconds and can be changed by TS. If set to USER the cache is as long as the cache page is configured. Do clear TYPO3 cache when changing this value!! ### Avoiding cache [](#avoiding-cache) Whenever RSS Display detects the parameter `no_cache=1` in the URL, the Caching Framework is skipped. This is convenient in development mode or for forcing the cache to be regenerated. ### Add a custom Template [](#add-a-custom-template) RSS Display is flexible enough to add a custom template which is then display in the drop down menu in the BE. The BE User can then pick this custom template. New template must be added / configured by TypoScript like: ``` # To be added somewhere in your settings # Replace "foo" by your extension. plugin.tx_rssdisplay { settings { templates { # foo1 is just a key which must be unique foo_1 { label = My Template path = EXT:foo/Resources/Private/Templates/Feed/Show.html } } } } ``` ### View Helpers [](#view-helpers) RSS Display has various View Helpers to interact with a SimplePie object which provides an [API](http://simplepie.org/wiki/reference/start#methods1) for fetching data from a feed item. Some advanced View Helpers are explains below ``` # Retrieve a custom value from the item "author". See the API http://simplepie.org/wiki/reference/start#methods1 # Retrieve a value of a custom tag according to a namespace # Retrieve multiple values from a tag according to a namespace # The example uses the shorthand syntax of Fluid - @see http://forge.typo3.org/issues/5033 {value} {namespace feed=Fab\RssDisplay\ViewHelpers} ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Property**cacheDuration**Data typeintegerDescriptionLife time of the cache. The value is relevant only if the extension is a USER\_INT which is the default. The extension can also be configured as USER in the Extension Manager.Default3600 ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 81% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity39 Limited adoption so far Community25 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 71.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
