1. Called from $wgExtensionFunctions array when initialising extensions

function wfSetupRobsRSS() { global $wgParser,$wgRSSUseAjax,$wgRobsRSSTag,$wgAjaxExportList; $wgParser->setHook($wgRobsRSSTag,array($this,'wfRssTagHook')); if ($wgRSSUseAjax) $wgAjaxExportList[] = 'wfRenderRSS'; # Allow Ajax Dispatcher to call wfRenderRSS }

1. Expand an <rss> tag

function wfRssTagHook($text,$argv,&$parser) { global $wgRSSUseAjax; $args = ;

foreach ($argv as $k => $v) $args .= "

$k: $v

\n";

if ($wgRSSUseAjax) { # Render a container which does ajax requests for content

$html = "

an ajax thingie

";

} else { # Not using ajax, render the output now $html = wfRenderRSS($data,$timestamp); }

return "Hello!";

1. return $html;

}

1. Read RSS from URL's and return as some kind of useful runtime structure

function wfReadRSS($urls) { $data = array(); foreach ($urls as $url) { $doc = new DOMDocument(); # do some cache stuff here $doc->load($url); # get feed details $feed=$doc->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0);

       $feed_title = $channel->getElementsByTagName('title')
       ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
       $feed_link = $channel->getElementsByTagName('link')
       ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
       $feed_desc = $channel->getElementsByTagName('description')
       ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

foreach ($dom->getElementsByTagName('item') as $item) { # what follows looks overly complicated? simplify?

           for ($i=0; $i<=2; $i++) {
               $item_title=$dom->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title')
               ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
               $item_link=$dom->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('link')
               ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
               $item_desc=$dom->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('description')
               ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
               $item_date=$dom->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')
               ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
               # <pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2003 08:56:02 GMT</pubDate>

$data .= "

$item_title: $item_link $item_desc $item_date"; } # add collected info into $data # TODO need to grab date information so we can sort # Date is in UDF from memory } } return $data; }

1. Render a portion of RSS data (which is in the useful format returned by wfReadRSS)

function wfRenderRSS($data,$timestamp = false) { return $html; } ?>
