Documentation

This extension provides a module called feed where a function parse is defined. This fetch function takes the feed URL in parameter and return an object that gives access to all propertie of ezcFeed* objects.

Example with a simple RSS

{cache-block ignore_content_expiry expiry=7200}
{def $feed = fetch( feed, parse, hash( 'rss_url', 'http://ez.no/rss/feed/communitynews' ) )}
{foreach $feed.item as $item}
    <li>
        <a href={$item.link.0.href|ezurl}>{$item.title.text|wash}</a>
    </li>
{/foreach}
{undef $feed}
{/cache-block}
 

Example with enclosures in RSS

{cache-block expiry=7200}
{def $feed = fetch( feed, parse, hash( 'rss_url', 'http://www.bioutifoul-photos.net/feed/photo' ) )
     $limit = 4}
<ul>
{foreach $feed.item as $item max $limit}
    <li>
        <a href={$item.link.0.href|ezurl}>
        <img src={$item.enclosure.0.url|ezurl} alt="{$item.title.text|wash}" />
        </a>
    </li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{undef $feed}
{/cache-block}
 

Limitation

The template operator attribute() does not work with object returned by fetch( feed, parse ). You'd better use debug-log template operator or check the Feed component documentation.
