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 maximum 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' %}

[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 vdlp:fetch-rss >> /dev/null 2>&1
The above line takes care of fetching all sources every 5 minutes.
The vdlp: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('vdlp:fetch-rss', ['source' => 2]);
Or using the RssFetcher singleton:
RssFetcher::instance()->fetch(2);
