Extension:RSS

This is a modified version of
 * the RSS engine from Mafs, which is a modified version of
 * the RSS engine from Rdb78, which is a modified version of
 * the RSS engine from Duesentrieb, which is a modified version of
 * the RSS-feed extension by Mutante.

It's a quick hack to support filtering-out (i.e. ) of items based on title when in short list mode. Furthermore it only displays unique titles.

Please email me with any comments; I don't check my user pages very often.

Change Log

 * This has been updated to work better on newer (1.9) MediaWiki software, with the help of User:Duesentrieb. --CryptoQuick 14:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This appears not to be true; I have received numerous emails about it not working with 1.9+. I would love to help debug and fix the extension, but my host has not upgraded to PHP 5 and I'm thus stuck at MediaWiki 1.6.8, so that's as far as this is guaranteed to work properly. If anyone develops a fix, please post a link to it here! &#x2014;Alxndr&#x00a0;(t) 02:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I just found this fork that purports to have a fix for the new loss of wfStrEncode. I can't test it though so can anyone else verify that it works? &#x2014;Alxndr&#x00a0;(t) 02:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Installation
(Make sure there's a semicolon at the end of that line)
 * 1) Save this source in your /extensions directory
 * 2) Download and save the Magpie RSS parser into the same directory. Magpie can be gotten from here:
 * 3) Optional - Check that iconv is installed; this can be done with a simple phpinfo; script.
 * 4) Place the following text in your LocalSettings.php file: include_once("extensions/rss.php");
 * 1) Finally, load your wiki, and have fun with RSS feeds!

Source

 * 11)  * iconv , see also 
 * 12) Installation:
 * 13)  * put this file (rss.php) into the extension directory of your mediawiki installation
 * 14)  * add the following to the end of LocalSettings.php: include_once("extensions/rss.php");
 * 15)    (make sure there's a semicolon  at the end of that line)
 * 16)  * make sure magpie can be found by PHP.
 * 17) Usage:
 * 18)  Use one section between -tags for each feed. The rss section may contain parameters
 * 19)  separated by a pipe ("|"), just like links and templates. These parameters are supported:
 * 20)    * charset=...             The charset used by the feed. iconv is used to convert this.
 * 21)    * short                   Do not show the description text for each news item.
 * 22)    * date                    Shows date/time stamp for each news item.
 * 23)    * max=x                   Shows x most recent headlines.
 * 24)    * highlight= term1 term2  The terms separated by a space are highlighted.
 * 25)    * filter= term1 term2     Show only rss items containing at least one of the terms.
 * 26)    * filterout= term1 term2  Do not show any rss items containing any terms
 * 27)    * reverse                 display the rss items in reverse order
 * 28) Example:
 * 29)    http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=5
 * 1)    * filter= term1 term2     Show only rss items containing at least one of the terms.
 * 2)    * filterout= term1 term2  Do not show any rss items containing any terms
 * 3)    * reverse                 display the rss items in reverse order
 * 4) Example:
 * 5)    http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=5
 * 1)    http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=5
