{jr_feed_reader}


The {jr_feed_reader} template function is used for embedding external RSS Feeds directly into a Jamroom Template.

Parameters:

Name Type Required Default Description
feed string yes n/a The "feed" parameter is the URL to the RSS Feed you want to pull in.
template string yes n/a The "template" parameter defines the Jamroom skin template that wil be used to format the feed data.
show integer no n/a If the "show" parameter is given, then only the number given will be "shown".  For example, if the "default" number of articles in a feed is 10, you can enter a value of  show="2" to limit the displayed feed articles to only the first 2 in the feed.
cache_seconds integer no 300 By default Jamroom will "cache" a feed for 300 seconds (5 minutes).  You can change this cache length by passing in the "cache_seconds" parameter.
assign string no no The "assign" parameter is an optional parameter that allows you to take the processed Feed output and store it in a template variable for further processing.  This is handy to check to ensure the results of the fetch contain valid data.

 

Example:

Example embedding the {jr_feed_reader} template function into a template:

{jr_feed_reader feed="http://slashdot.org/index.rss" template="slashdot_feed.tpl" cache_seconds="30"}

The contents of the "slashdot_feed.tpl" template file:

{foreach from=$ITEMS item="_item"}
  <h2><a href="{$_item.LINK}" target="_blank">{$_item.TITLE}</a></h2><br />
  {$_item.DESCRIPTION}<br /><br />
{/foreach}


Note: The {jr_feed_reader} function first became available in Jamroom 3.0.29
