Installation
To enable this package in a buildout-based installation:
Edit your buildout.cfg and add add the following to it:
[buildout] ... eggs = collective.feedaggregator
After updating the configuration you need to run ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.
Go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in a Plone site and click on the ‘Add-ons’ link.
Check the box next to collective.feedaggregator and click the ‘Activate’ button.
How does it work
Every Feed Aggregator includes a list of feeds to be processed. The entries in the feeds are parsed in parallel using multiprocessing. Results are cached for 15 minutes on an instance base. If a Feed Aggregator is modified in any way, caching is invalidated.
Not entirely unlike
- Products.feedfeeder
Archetypes-based folder that turns external feed entries into content items. Works in Plone 4.3 and 5.
