RSS Import Handler: need information

Tuesday 07 October 2008 1:27:54 pm

Hi,

This is used to create your own RSS field definition array:

Basically you need to create a class which implementing rssFieldDefinition public method

Example extension:

// class name is construct as <active_extension> +  'rssimport'
// 'rssimport' suffix must be part of class name
class MyCustomFieldsrssimport
{
    public function rssFieldDefinition()
    {
        return array( 'item' => array( 'elements' => array( 'title',
                                                                    'link',
                                                                    'description',
                                                                    'author',
                                                                    'category',
                                                                    'comments',
                                                                    'guid',
                                                                    'pubDate' ) ),
                              'channel' => array( 'elements' => array( 'title',
                                                                       'link',
                                                                       'description',
                                                                       'copyright',
                                                                       'managingEditor',
                                                                       'webMaster',
                                                                       'pubDate',
                                                                       'lastBuildDate',
                                                                       'category',
                                                                       'generator',
                                                                       'docs',
                                                                       'cloud',
                                                                       'ttl' ) ) );
    }
}

Put that class in

extension/MyCustomFields/rss/MyCustomFieldsrssimport.php

Then enable it in site.ini.append.php as

[RSSSettings] 
ActiveExtensions[]=MyCustomFields

Clear all the cache and go to admin interface, then check available filed definition in RSS import.

Beware of typos, I did not test it with eZ Publish instance.

That method has to return array with RSS definition (you can include here your custom RSS tags), which you can map later to the content object attributes in RSS import view IIRC. You can not put in that method your RSS parsing code I'm afraid.
