    Extended version by Duesentrieb[edit]

    This is an extended version of the RSS-feed extension by mutante (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:mutante/RSSFeed). It's main features are charset conversion, nicer formating and output of the full description text of the news items. It also introduces a syntax for controlling those features.

    <?php
    # RSS-Feed Mediawiki extension
    # 
    # original by mutante 25.03.2005
    # extended by Duesentrieb 30.04.2005
    #
    # Requires: 
    #  * magpie rss parser <http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/>
    #  * iconv <http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/>, see also <http://www.php.net/iconv>
    #
    # Installation:
    #  * put this file (rss.php) into the extension directory of your mediawiki installation 
    #  * add the following to the end of LocalSettings.php: include("extensions/rss.php");
    #  * make sure magpie can be found by PHP.
    #
    # Usage:
    #  Use one section between <rss>-tags for each feed. The ress section may contain parameters
    #  separated by a pipe ("|"), just like links and templates. Two parameters are supported:
    #    * charset=...   the charset used by the feed. iconv is used to convert this.
    #    * short         do not show the description text for each news item.
    #
    # Example: 
    #    <rss>http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss|charset=UTF-8|short</rss>
    #
    
    
    #change this according to your magpie installation!
