Embed RSS Plugin
October 21, 2008
I know that some people have asked for some updates to some of the existing plugins I’ve got out there, and it’s on my list of things to do…really. But, I wanted to finish this up first. This is a plugin that integrates with the tinymce visual editor to allow someone to click an RSS icon, fill in some details, and embed a shortcode in a post or page that will be replaced with an RSS feed. Here’s what the pop up window from the page or post writing screen looks like

And, here’s a screen shot of a yahoo news feed:

You can find the code over at wpmudev.org.
I’ve not tested this with a stand-alone wordpress, but I think it would probably work there as well. It’s designed to go in the plugins folder, not the mu-plugins folder.

Any way to get it to show the full feed instead of an excerpt?
(still reading the code to find that out)

Andrea -I’m not actually trimming the feeds. I’m taking whatever is available in the description node. It looks like feeds from wordpress.com, for example, have an oddly formatted node which contains the full content. But, that seems to be rare, and on wordpress.com, they’re poorly formed (they start inside a cdata that goes with the description, and ends outside of it). If you were targeting a specific feed, over which you had control, you’d put all the content in the description node, or if you’d extended RSS somehow, you could change the references to whichever node had the full content. All the feed manipulation takes place in lib/shortcodes.php

Sorry for the delay It appears that what ever plugin I use it is not bringing up pictures. I am using wordpress 6.2 so maybe it has something to do with that.
