introducing the feed reader plugin
Fri, Oct 26, 2007
My, it’s been a busy couple of days. I seem to be knocking out widgets and plugins like nobody’s business! Anyway, here’s another one. It’s a feed reader plugin that also displays images in posts. Download it here.
Upload feed_plugin.zip to your plugins directory and extract it. Then activate the plugin in your admin page.
To display any number of feeds in a post or page, add the tag:
feed:URL:MAX:MODE
surrounded by SQUARE BRACKETS. I’ll update this post once I work out how to display SQUARE BRACKETS without invoking the plugin!
URL = the URL of the feed MAX = the maximum number of entries to show. If you want to show all entries, set this to all. MODE = show or hide. If you choose, show, all entries up to MAX will be displayed on the page. If you choose, hide, all the entries will be hidden and you will need to click on the feed title to expand them. This is great if you want to include multiple feeds on one page.
