Plugin RSS
Use this wiki plugin to display items received from an external RSS feed that has been set up in the external feed feature (at `tiki-admin_rssmodules.php` ). See External Feeds on how to set up Tiki to receive external feeds, which will need to be done first before using this plugin. For outgoing RSS feeds, see Feeds.

Usage notes

feedId is the id of the feed set up at Settings > External Feeds (or tiki-admin_rssmodules.php ), max is the number of shown entries, date and author (optional) are added if set to 1 , and hidden if set to 0 , desc is a short description of the current rss item (optional).

You can also combine feeds by indicating 1:2 , or 1:2:3 to add feeds together. Note, however, that if you are combining feeds, "show publish date" must be checked in the Feeds module settings, in order to allow this plugin to sort the combined feeds.

Examples

Let's say you wish to display the list of last 3 items of a feed with the Id of 1 inside a Wiki page. Simply include this in your page, with date, but no author:

Copy to clipboard

{rss id="1" max="3" date="1" author="0" desc="1"}
