A tool to extract data from websites of TU Dresden. This is currently in use on fsr-verkehr.de as a ticker on its homepage.
Basically there are two php files view/news.php and view/calendar.php which both emit HTML-snippets that contain a rendered version of all the feeds defined in model/news/faculties/*, respectively model/calendar/faculties/*. For the case of fsr-verkehr.de these snippets are then dynamically added to the DOM via AJAX (jQuery).
(Partial) documentation of the individual functions is available through PHPDoc comments in the code.
