The Snippet displays feeds from custom sources.  

Description

In order to use the snippet please follow these proceedings:

• Create a snippet named "rssContext" with the following code :

<?php
/**
* rssContext snippet
* @var $myfeed integer optional Choose a feed to display
* [take a look in rssContext.feeds.php to see the feeds or add new one]
* set to 0 to fetch feeds from a random source
* @var $numFeed integer optional Number of feeds to fetch
* (if not set 10 feeds will be fetched)
* @var $keywords string optional keywords to filter the feeds, each one separated by +
* @var $caching integer optional Enable(1) or disable(0) feed caching default to 1
* @var $cachingPeriod integer optional optional Set caching refresh period in seconds
* How to use :
* call the snippet in the template where you want the news to show up
* Example
* [!rssContext? &feed=`5` &numFeed=`10` &keywords=`computer+games` &caching=`1` &cachingPeriod=`3600`!]
*/
$snipPath = $modx->config['base_path'] . "assets/snippets/";
include_once $snipPath."rssContext/rssContext.inc.php";
$myfeed = isset($myfeed) ? $myfeed : "";
$caching = isset($caching) ? $caching : "1";
$cachingPeriod = isset($cachingPeriod) ? $cachingPeriod : "3600";
$rss = new rssContext($modx,$caching,$cachingPeriod );
$numFeed = isset($numFeed) ? $numFeed : 10;
$keywords = isset($keywords) ? $keywords : "";
return $rss->getFeeds($myfeed,$numFeed,$keywords);
?>

• Extract rssContext.zip to the assests/snippets folder

• Call the snippet in the template where you want the news to show up

Example: [!rssContext? &feed=`5` &numFeed=`10` &keywords=`computer+games`!]

• Set write permissions for the cache folder or set feeds caching to 0.
