USAGE

Use one section between <rss>-tags for each feed. The rss section may contain parameters separated by a pipe ("|"), just like links and templates. These parameters are supported:

    * charset=â¦ The charset used by the feed. iconv is used to convert this.
    * short Do not show the description text for each news item.
    * date Shows date/time stamp for each news item.
    * max=x Shows x most recent headlines.
    * highlight= term1 term2 The terms separated by a space are highlighted.
    * filter= term1 term2 Show only RSS items containing at least one of the terms.
    * filterout= term1 term2 Do not show any RSS items containing any terms
    * reverse Display the RSS items in reverse order

EXAMPLE

<rss>http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=5</rss>

INSTALLATION

1) Download and save the Magpie RSS parser into the same directory. Magpie can be obtained from SourceForge. 
NOTE: Don't install Magpie pursuant to its installation instructions - just drop the parser into your directory.
2) Optional - Check that iconv is installed; this can be done with a simple phpinfo(); script.
3) Place the following text in your LocalSettings.php file: require_once("extensions/rss.php"); 
   (Make sure there's a semicolon (;) at the end of that line)
4) Make sure Magpie can be found by PHP.
5) Finally, load your wiki, and have fun with RSS feeds!
