Calguy's RSS Reader template

The CG_RSS_Reader module for CMS Made Simple™ is powered by the SimplePie RSS parser. In this article I will show you some tag examples you can use building your own template. Note, the module doesn't have an Admin page, you will find the template in the CMSMS™ Design Manager.

How to use

Item Title

{$onefeed->get_title()}

Item Content

{$onefeed->get_content()}

Item Link

<a href="{$onefeed->get_permalink()}">Read more</a>

Item Date

{$onefeed->get_date()|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'}

More information about strftime format parameters.

Item Author

{if $author = $onefeed->get_author()}{$author->get_name()}{/if}

Enclosure Image

{if $enclosure = $onefeed->get_enclosure()}
<img src="{$enclosure->get_link()}" alt="{$onefeed->get_title()}" />
{/if}

I am trying to consume feed data within a custom tag in CMSMS but I a little confused on how to initialize a specific feed. Where do I pass the feed url to load the feed data into my variable? I am not able to find any documentation related to the CG_RSS_Reader. I had already a look to the SimplePie documentation, there is the function $feed->set_feed_url($url); but this isn't working for me. Or am I doing the initialization wrong? I somehow figured out that $feed = new CG_RSS_Reader(); should do the trick or better is not running on an error, as my other tries did, but I am not quite sure about that.
Thanks for any help in advance!
