Synopsis

This project extends the django-xadmin demo_app with a simple RSS feed reader widget.

class RssFeedReaderWidget(BaseWidget):
    widget_type = 'rssfeedreader'
    widget_icon = 'fa fa-rss'
    description =  u'An (extremely simple) RSS feed reader.'

    title = forms.CharField(label='Title', required=True)
    link = forms.URLField(label='Link', required=True)
    limit = forms.IntegerField(min_value=1, max_value=20, required=True)

    def has_perm(self):
        return True

    def context(self, context):
        feeds = feedparser.parse(self.cleaned_data['link'])
        feed_template = Template('<a href="$link"> $title </a><hr>')

        content = ''
        for feed in feeds.entries[:self.cleaned_data['limit']]:
            content += feed_template.substitute(link=feed.link, title=feed.title)
        content = content[:-4]

        context['content'] = content

Motivation

Tinkering around while I try to learn some python/django...

Run the demo locally

  1. Create a directory and copy/clone the content of this repository into it

    mkdir demo_app
    cd demo_app
    git clone https://github.com/zwollander/django-xadmin-rss.git
    
  2. Install django-xadmin

    pip install django-xadmin
    
  3. Sync the database (you will be prompted to create a superuser also)

    ./manage.py syncdb
    
  4. Run the web server

    ./manage.py runserver
    
  5. Open http://localhost:8000/xadmin/ in your browser. Log in with the superuser you created. Now you can add the new widget (type rssfeedreader) to your admin page.
