ServiceFeed

Feed service class

The Feed service is the replacement of the original RSS and Atom service classes from Pubwich, it uses the very mature SimplePie feed API for PHP.

Configuration values

• url: URI of the feed
• contenttype: type of the feed, use application/rss+xml for RSS feeds and application/atom+xml for Atom feeds
• link: the URI of the website the feed is used for

... and the basic configuration for all services.

Example configuration

$feed_rss = array(
        'Feed', 'feed_rss', array(
		'title' => 'Polly Blog Stew',

		'url' => 'http://pollyblogstew.diving-robot.de/feed/',
		'contenttype' => 'application/rss+xml',
		'link' => 'http://pollyblogstew.diving-robot.de/',

	)
);
