README

This package adds a new content type which shows a list of blog posts from an external blog.

Installation

composer req ujamii/externalblog

Usage

The package provides a new content node type "External Blog Post List". When you add this to your site, you have to provide a feed url (Atom or RSS) and you can set the amount of items to show.

TODOs

• feature: multi language
• feature: link editor for external blog posts (search by title, add url)
• feature: Command Controller for continuous import of external blog posts as Document nodes
  • make those posts searchable in the NEOS website

Templates

The fusion views are pretty basic, so you will probably want to overwrite it:

prototype(Ujamii.ExternalBlog:Component.Molecule.PostList) < prototype(Neos.Fusion:Component) {

    # note about images: props.post.firstMediaUrl will contain the absolute URL to an external image.
    # if you prefer to store this locally, use this eel helper to get as asset:
    # imageResource = ${Ujamii.ExternalBlog.importRemoteImage(this.post.firstMediaUrl, "externalblog")}
    # you can also pass the target collection name as second argument. "imported" is default
    # if you import it as NEOS asset, you can apply resize, crop and so on. 
    
    renderer = 'Whatever you like'
}

If you want to adjust the rendering of the single content elements, just overwrite them as you like. All the rendering is done with the files located in Resources/Private/Fusion/Component/.
