Fetches RSS/Atom feeds to put on your website. It can be automated using a cronjob or triggered manually.

Install this plugin within OctoberCMS. It's available on the OctoberCMS Market Place.

The plugin uses the zendframework/rss-feed package to parse the RSS and/or Atom feeds. For more information on this package goto http://framework.zend.com/manual/current/en/index.html#zend-feed

The plugin is configured with 4 example sources and has a few components which help you to display items and/or sources on your website.

Shows a list of most recent RSS items limited on the maximun number of items provided by you.

An example of implementation code in your CMS page:

title = "A list of items"
url = "/items"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 0

[rssItems]
maxItems = 10
==
{% component 'rssItems' %}

Shows a list of most recent RSS items with an additional paginator element.

An example of implementation code in your CMS page:

title = "A list of items (paginatable)"
url = "/items"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 0

[rssPaginatableItems]
itemsPerPage = 3
==
{% component 'rssPaginatableItems' %}

Shows a list of sources.

An example of implementation code in your CMS page:

title = "A list of sources"
url = "/sources"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 0

[rssSources]
==
{% component 'rssSources' %}

This plugin contains also a RSS Headlines widget to show the latest headlines on your Dashboard. This widget has three configurable properties: maxItems, title and dateFormat.

There are many ways to configure a cronjob. Here's an basic example of cronjob configuration line:

5/* * * * php path/to/artisan adrenth:fetch-rss >> /dev/null 2>&1

The above line takes care of fetching all sources every 5 minutes.

The adrenth:fetch-rss command takes an optional source_id argument. Provide the source ID if you want to fetch only 1 source at that time.

In your plugin code you can also use the following code to execute the Artisan command:

<?php

use Artisan;
// ...

Artisan::call('adrenth:fetch-rss', ['source' => 2]);

Or using the RssFetcher singleton:

RssFetcher::instance()->fetch(2);
