Bolt RSS Aggregator

An RSS Aggregator extension for the Bolt CMS. Shows feed items of external RSS feeds anywhere on your site.

Instructions

Place the {{ rss_aggregator() }} Twig function in your template. It requires at least one parameter: the feed URL. Example: {{ rss_aggregator('http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss') }}

You can pass several options to the Twig function: {{ rss_aggregator('http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss', { 'limit': limit, 'showDesc': true }) }}

• limit: The amount of links to be shown, default: 5
• showDesc: Show the full description, default: false
• showDate: Show the date, default: false
• descCutoff: Number of characters to display in the description, default: 100
• cacheMaxAge: The time a cached feed stays valid in minutes, default: 15, set to 0 to disable caching

If you get the error 'External feed could not be loaded!'-error, check the following:

• Your webserver must be allowed to fetch URLs from the 'outside world'
• The feed must be valid XML. Validate this, using the Validome XML validator: http://www.validome.org/xml/

Customization

Override the CSS styles defined in extensions/vendor/bolt/rssaggregator/css/rssaggregator.css in your own stylesheet.
