Fullstack-rss

RSS Feed Gem for fullstack-cms

Installation

  gem 'fullstack-rss'

Usage

First of all any item shoud respond at least to :title, :link, :pubdate, :category and :description, :guid and :guid_is_permalink?.

The simplest way to achieve that is use a decorator:

class PostRssItem < Fullstack::Rss::Item

  # ============
  # = Required =
  # ============

  def title
    cdata(object.title)
  end

  def link
    site_post_url(object)
  end

  def pubdate
    object.created_at.xmlschema
  end

  def category
    cdata(object.category.title) # cdata helper is provided by Fullstack::Rss::ItemDecorator
  end

  def description
    cdata(object.intro.html_safe)
  end

  # ============
  # = Optional =
  # ============

  def guid
    link # this is the default 
  end

  def guid_is_permalink?
    false # this is also the default
  end

end

Then you can build a feed like that

class Site::SiteController < Site::BaseController

  include Fullstack::Rss::Helpers

  # ...

  action :feed, :path => "/feed", :format => "xml"
    @items = Post.all.map { |post|  PostRssItem.new(post) }
    render_feed @items
  end

end

And link it in your views with rss_feed_link

<%= rss_feed_link site_feed_url %>
