With the inlinefeed plugin you can display and embed RSS/ATOM feeds in your WordPress posts and pages using the following shortcode:

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://feed.xml"]

NOTE: From version 2.0 you can only use the shortcode [inlinefeed], the old style <!--rss:[URL]--> doesn't work anymore! If you upgrade from a 1.xx version, then you must change from <!--rss:[URL]--> to [inlinefeed rss_feed_url="[URL]"] style.

FILTER USAGE

  • Simple:

Just put a [inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://yourfeed.rdf"] in your post, and the feed will show up.

Left as rss for backwards compatibility but will work with ATOM feeds as well.

  • NAMED PARAMETERS

For some customisation there are some options you can use.

  • display (1-100): Show the number of lines from the feed.
  • rss_feed_url (url): The RSS/ATOM URL.
  • displaydescriptions (true/false): Show the discription / content of the feed, default true.
  • truncatetitle (false/1-100): Truncate long title headers after x caracters. Or false if no truncate (default).
  • newwindow (true/false): Open links in new window?
  • displayfeedname (true/false): Display the name of the feed, default true.

Examples:

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://www.osnews.com/files/recent.rdf" displaydescriptions=true truncatetitle=false newwindow=true display=15]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://kerneltrap.org/rss.xml" displaydescriptions=true truncatetitle=false newwindow=false]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://slashdot.org/index.rss" displaydescriptions=true truncatetitle=20]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://www.securityfocus.com/rss/news.xml" displayfeedname=false displaydescriptions=true truncatetitle=false]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://www.ipodhacks.com/ipodhacks.xml" displaydescriptions=true truncatetitle=false]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://www.viruslist.com/en/rss/virusalerts" displaydescriptions=false truncatetitle=false display=5]

[inlinefeed rss_feed_url="http://tweakers.net/feeds/mixed.xml"]

Finally note the whole thing must be on ONE line. No line breaks or else it won't work.

If you want to use a gziped rssfeed try you must add gzip support to wordpress, take a look here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/class-snoopyphp-gzip-support/
