This plugin allows content from other blogs to be aggregated into the wiki.
|
|
Aggregate a blog as follows:
|
|
|
|
\[[aggregate name="example blog" feedurl="http://example.com/index.rss" url="http://example.com/" updateinterval="15"]
|
|
|
|
That example aggregates posts from the expecified RSS feed, updating no
|
|
more frequently than once every 15 minutes, and puts a page per post under
|
|
the example/ directory in the wiki.
|
|
|
|
You can then use ikiwiki's [[blog]] support to create a blog of one or more
|
|
aggregated feeds.
|
|
|
|
## setup
|
|
|
|
Make sure that you have the [[html]] plugin enabled, as the created pages are
|
|
in html format. The [[tag]] plugin is also recommended.
|
|
|
|
You will need to run ikiwiki periodically from a cron job, passing it the
|
|
--aggregate parameter, to make it check for new posts. Here's an example
|
|
crontab entry:
|
|
|
|
*/15 * * * * ikiwiki --setup my.wiki --aggregate --refresh
|
|
|
|
## usage
|
|
|
|
Here are descriptions of all the supported parameters to the `aggregate`
|
|
directive:
|
|
|
|
* `name` - A name for the feed. Each feed must have a unique name.
|
|
Required.
|
|
* `url` - The url to the web page for the blog that's being aggregated.
|
|
Required.
|
|
* `dir` - The directory in the wiki where pages should be saved. Optional,
|
|
if not specified, the directory is based on the name of the feed.
|
|
* `feedurl` - The url to the feed. Optional, if it's not specified ikiwiki
|
|
will look for feeds on the `url`. RSS and atom feeds are supported.
|
|
* `updateinterval` - How often to check for new posts, in minutes. Default
|
|
is 15 minutes.
|
|
* `expireage` - Expire old items from this blog if they are older than
|
|
a specified number of days. Default is to never expire on age.
|
|
* `expirecount` - Expire old items from this blog if there are more than
|
|
the specified number total. Oldest items will be expired first. Default
|
|
is to never expire on count.
|
|
* `tag` - A tag to tag each post from the blog with. A good tag to use is
|
|
the name of the blog. Can be repeated multiple times. The [[tag]] plugin
|
|
must be enabled for this to work.
|
|
|
|
Note that even if you are using subversion or another revision control
|
|
system, pages created by aggregation will *not* be checked into revision
|
|
control.
|
|
|
|
This plugin is not enabled by default.
