What it does RssImport extensions allow your applications to create content from imported RSS Feeds. Administrators can set up RSS imports within the admin control panel from a central location and choose where the RSS items should be created. By adding an extension you can include your application content types in this list. How to use You will need the following 5 methods. For example usage please see /applications/forums/extensions/core/RssImport; /** * Return available options for a Form\Select * * @return array */ public function availableOptions() { } availableOptions allows you to specify the content type to import to. /** * Node selector options * * @param \IPS\core\Rss\Import|null $rss Existing RSS object if editing|NULL if not * @return array */ public function nodeSelectorOptions( $rss ) { } nodeSelectorOptions allows you to choose which container type to import items to as well as any conditions for the nodes available via the permissionCheck callback. /** * @param \IPS\core\Rss\Import $rss RSS object * @param array $article RSS feed article importing * @param \IPS\Node\Model $container Container object * @param string $content Post content with read more link if set * @return \IPS\Content */ public function create( \IPS\core\Rss\Import $rss, $article, \IPS\Node\Model $container, $content ) { } The create method accepts info on the RSS import object as well as the article from the feed being imported, the container selected by the administrator for the import and the article content. This method should be used to create the content item in your application from the RSS article. /** * Addition Form elements * * @param \IPS\Helpers\Form $form The form * @param \IPS\core\Rss\Import|null $rss Existing RSS object if editing|NULL if not * @return void */ public function form( &$form, $rss=NULL ) { } Aside from the container, you can also specify additional form options here. For example you could provide a form field for tags so the admin can specify which tags should be added to the application content item. /** * Process additional fields unique to this extension * * @param array $values Values from form * @param \IPS\core\Rss\Import $rss Existing RSS object * @return array */ public function saveForm( &$values, $rss ) { } The saveForm method can be used to perform additional processing on the values submitted in the form() method above.

What it does Overview extensions allow your applications to provide none content related statistics data for the ACP - Statistics Pages. How to use This extension requires a defined $page variable, where you can define if the provided statics data should be shown on the User or Activity Statistics page. /** * Return the sub-block keys * * @note This is designed to allow one class to support multiple blocks, for instance using the ContentRouter to generate blocks. * @return array */ public function getBlocks() { return array( 'reactions' ); } The getBlocks method returns an array with all available blocks. /** * Return block details (title and description) * * @param string|NULL $subBlock The subblock we are loading as returned by getBlocks() * @return array */ public function getBlockDetails( $subBlock = NULL ) { } The getBlockDetails method need to return an array with following keys: app - The app key for your application. (required) title - Language key for the title of the block. (required) description - A brief description of the data. (optional) refresh - Refresh rate of the statistics in seconds. form - Boolean value to specify if a node filter should be provided. /** * Return the block HTML to show * * @param array|NULL $dateRange NULL for all time, or an array with 'start' and 'end' \IPS\DateTime objects to restrict to * @param string|NULL $subBlock The subblock we are loading as returned by getBlocks() * @return string */ public function getBlock( $dateRange = NULL, $subBlock = NULL ) { } The getBlock method returns the rendered template from the block and can be filtered by date.
