News Feed extension for Sphinx
Project description
Overview
sphinxcontrib-newsfeed is a extension for adding a simple Blog, News or Announcements section to a Sphinx website.
Features:
- Makes feed entries from Sphinx documents.
- Generates a list of entries with teasers.
- Saves the feed to a file in RSS format.
- Supports comments via Disqus.
You can see this extension in action at http://htsql.org/blog/. For more examples, see demo directory in the source distribution.
This software is written by Kirill Simonov (Prometheus Research, LLC) and released under BSD license.
Usage
To enable this extension, add the following line to conf.py:
extensions.append('sphinxcontrib.newsfeed')
To add a comment form to news entries, you also need to specify the Disqus website identifier:
disqus_shortname = '...'
Now you can convert any Sphinx document to a news entry by using directive feed-entry. For example:
Welcome!!! ========== .. feed-entry:: :date: 2012-01-01 Welcome to the news feed of **Elvensense**. Here we will post release announcements and other project news.
Use cut directive to separate the entry teaser from the content:
Elvensense 96 is released ========================= .. feed-entry:: :date: 2012-12-31 We are proud to announce a new release of **Elvensense**. .. cut:: Specific changes since the last release: * An exciting feature was added. * An annoying bug was fixed.
To make a list of news entries and generate an RSS file, use feed directive:
.. feed:: :rss: index.rss :title: Elvensense News release welcome
The body of feed directive must list documents containing news entries (similar to toctree). The options of feed directive define the name of the RSS file and describe the feed metadata.
You need to manually update your HTML templates to add a link to the RSS feed:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Elvensense News" href="/index.rss" />
