NAME SoggyOnion - RSS and other arbitrary content aggregatron SYNOPSIS $ soggyonion-install $ vim/emacs config.yaml $ soggyonion config.yaml $ crontab -e DESCRIPTION NOTE: This is a pre-release. I need to add tests, among other things. Functionality is here, though. SoggyOnion is an RSS and arbitrary content aggregator that produces static pages. It was written to be easily installable and configurable as well as trivial to extend. It is meant for people that want to view RSS feeds and other scraped content as a web page and want minimal setup and configuration. See the defaults in action at: <http://soggyonion.com/> Installation The module creates two executables, soggyonion and soggyonion-install. Once the SoggyOnion module is installed, do the following: 1. Change to a directory where you'd like to keep the configuration file and defaults, then run the soggyonion-install command. This will extract a handful of files to the current directory. 2. Edit the config.yaml configuration file. To get started quickly, just make sure the four options in the first section are correct. 3. Run the soggyonion command with th Customizing the Output All sources of content are found in the config.yaml file. The main template, templates/main.tt2, contains all the CSS. Extending See: SoggyOnion::Plugin Why is it called "SoggyOnion?" I purchased the domain "csoggyonion.com" on complete impulse. When I wrote this I finally made use of that silly domain and I kept the name. Why don't I use (RSS utility here)? If you like it better, please do. I welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism (a.k.a. complaints), so fire away :-) I wanted a tool where I could specify a few sources of RSS/RDF and have it produce categorized, static pages for me that could be easily customized through templates and CSS. I'm also not yet convinced that everything should be RSS -- SoggyOnion can be used as a front-end for any scraped content.
