RSSClient plugin for Craft CMS 3.x

Just a simple RSS client

Installation

To install RSSClient, follow these steps:

1. Download & unzip the file and place the rssclient directory into your craft/plugins directory
2. -OR- do a git clone https://github.com/venveo/craft3-RSSFeed directly into your craft/plugins folder. You can then update it with git pull
3. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins
4. The plugin folder should be named rssclient for Craft to see it. GitHub recently started appending -master (the branch name) to the name of the folder for zip file downloads.

RSSClient works on Craft 3.x.

Using RSSClient

This plugin exposes a service variable called rssfeed with a function called getFeed that will retrieve data from a valid RSS feed and allow you to use it in a template.

####Example:

{% set feed = craft.rssclient.getFeed('http://feeds.feedburner.com/jumbojoke') %}
{% set jokes = feed %}

{% for joke in jokes %}
    <strong>{{ joke.title }}</strong>
    {{ joke.summary | raw }}
{% endfor %}

Todo

• Caching mechanism to prevent extraneous http requests from Guzzle
• Synchronizing with entry type via channel
• Cleaner/easier pagination
• More comprehensive error logging
