includes RSS Newsfeeds

The RSS plugin used the Universal Feed Parser by Mark Pilgrim. (new in developer version)

With this lucidTag you can easy integrade a RSS news feed into your CMS page:

1

{% lucidTag rss url="http url" %}

The look of the generated html code dependent on the plugin templates: templates/rss/default.html

You can setup the plugin for every feed individual by creating one or more plugin templates, see: How to change a plugin template.

For activate a alternative plugin templates you must specify the filename (without the file extension). You can do this in the tag, e.g.:

1

{% lucidTag rss url="http url" template_name="rss/MyOwnTemplate.html" %}

↑ limit entries  #

You can limit the RSS Feed list with the optional argument "max_entries", e.g:

1

{% lucidTag rss url="http url" max_entries=5 %}

↑ debugging  #

If the plugin template doesn't build a working html page for your feed or if links seems to be wrong, you can easy debug:

1

{% lucidTag rss url="http url" debug=True %}

You will see the raw feed data structure.

↑ caching  #

The current RSS plugin version doesn't use caching. On the other side, the normal page cache does the job for it. You must setup the cache backend.
