NAME
Template::Plugin::XML::Feed - Plugin interface to XML::Feed
SYNOPSIS
[% USE news = XML.Feed('news.rdf') %]
[% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
[% item.title %]
[% item.link %]
[% END %]DESCRIPTION
This Template Toolkit plugin provides a simple interface to the XML::Feed module.
[% USE news = XML.Feed('mysite.rdf') %]It creates an XML::Feed object, which is then used to parse the RSS or Atom file specified as a parameter in the USE directive. A reference to the XML::Feed object is then returned.
The attributes of the channel and image elements can be retrieved directly from the plugin object using the familiar dotted compound notation:
[% news.channel.title %]
[% news.channel.link %]
[% news.channel.etc... %]
[% news.image.title %]
[% news.image.url %]
[% news.image.link %]
[% news.image.etc... %] The list of news items can be retrieved using the 'items' method:
[% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
[% item.title %]
[% item.link %]
[% END %]METHODS
new
Constructor method. Delegates to XML::Feed->parse to create an XML::Feed object. Not usually called directly.
