CakePHP Feed Plugin

A CakePHP 3.x Plugin containing a RssView class to generate RSS feeds.

Version notice

This branch only works for CakePHP3.x - please use the Tools plugin version for CakePHP 2.x! It is still dev (not even alpha), please be careful with using it.

What is this plugin for?

There is a core Rss helper, but it has several defencies.

Goals of this view class

• Support view-less actions via serialize.
• Get rid of the ridiculously verbose "inline" namespace declarations.
• Simplify the use of namespaces and their prefixes (auto-add only those that are actually used).
• Support CDATA (unescaped content).

Additional features

• Automatic View class mapping via rss extension.

See my article for details on the history of this view class.

Installation & Docs

• Documentation

Possible TODOs

• Maybe add Feed readers instead of just writers.
• Add AtomView ?
