<h1>Connect Evennia channels to RSS<a class="headerlink" href="#connect-evennia-channels-to-rss" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">RSS</a> is a format for easily tracking updates on websites. The
|
||
principle is simple - whenever a site is updated, a small text file is updated. An RSS reader can
|
||
then regularly go online, check this file for updates and let the user know what’s new.</p>
|
||
<p>Evennia allows for connecting any number of RSS feeds to any number of in-game channels. Updates to the feed will be conveniently echoed to the channel. There are many potential uses for this: For example the MUD might use a separate website to host its forums. Through RSS, the players can then be notified when new posts are made. Another example is to let everyone know you updated your dev blog. Admins might also want to track the latest Evennia updates through our own RSS feed <a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/feeds/p/evennia/updates/basic">here</a>.</p>

<section id="configuring-rss">
|
||
<h2>Configuring RSS<a class="headerlink" href="#configuring-rss" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To use RSS, you first need to install the <a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/p/feedparser/">feedparser</a> python
|
||
module.</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>pip install feedparser
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>Next you activate RSS support in your config file by settting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RSS_ENABLED=True</span></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Start/reload Evennia as a privileged user. You should now have a new command available, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">@rss2chan</span></code>:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> @rss2chan <evennia_channel> = <rss_url>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</section>
|
||
<section id="setting-up-rss-step-by-step">
|
||
<h2>Setting up RSS, step by step<a class="headerlink" href="#setting-up-rss-step-by-step" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>You can connect RSS to any Evennia channel, but for testing, let’s set up a new channel “rss”.</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> @ccreate rss = RSS feeds are echoed to this channel!
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>Let’s connect Evennia’s code-update feed to this channel. The RSS url for evennia updates is
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://github.com/evennia/evennia/commits/main.atom</span></code>, so let’s add that:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> @rss2chan rss = https://github.com/evennia/evennia/commits/main.atom
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>That’s it, really. New Evennia updates will now show up as a one-line title and link in the channel.
|
||
Give the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">@rss2chan</span></code> command on its own to show all connections. To remove a feed from a channel,
|
||
you specify the connection again (use the command to see it in the list) but add the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/delete</span></code>
|
||
switch:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> @rss2chan/delete rss = https://github.com/evennia/evennia/commits/main.atom
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>You can connect any number of RSS feeds to a channel this way. You could also connect them to the
|
||
same channels as <a class="reference internal" href="Channels-to-IRC.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">Channels-to-IRC</span></a> to have the feed echo to external chat channels as well.</p>
