Blog aggregation, static-website style!
=======================================
.. image:: https://coveralls.io/repos/github/macbre/pelican-feed-planet/badge.svg?branch=master :target: https://coveralls.io/github/macbre/pelican-feed-planet?branch=master

This is a plugin for the `Pelican`_ static site generator.

It allows generating a page aggregating blog articles from other web sites.

.. _Pelican: https://getpelican.com

Usage
-----

Install this plugin::

    $ pip install git+https://framagit.org/bochecha/pelican-planet#egg=pelican_planet

Then, in your Pelican config file, enable the plugin::

    PLUGINS = [
        ...
        'pelican_planet',
        ...
        ]

Next, declare the feeds you want to aggregate in your Pelican config file::

    PLANET_FEEDS = {
        'Some amazing blog': 'https://example1.org/feeds/blog.atom.xml',
        'Another great blog': 'http://example2.org/feeds/blog.atom.xml',
        }

Write a `Jinja2`_ template for your aggregation page. For example, if the rest
of your website is generated from Markdown pages, then create a
``planet.md.tmpl`` file with the following contents::

    Some blogs aggregated here.

    {% for article in articles %}
    # {{ article.title }}

    {% endfor %}

Finally, declare the template and destination page in your Pelican config file::

    PLANET_TEMPLATE = 'planet.md.tmpl'
    PLANET_PAGE = 'content/planet.md'

Then rebuild your website as usual using the ``pelican`` command line, and you
should have your blog aggregation page.

You'll probably want to rebuild your website periodically though, maybe with a
systemd timer or a cron job, to always fetch the latest articles in the feeds
you aggregate.

.. _Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/

Template design
---------------

The template for your aggregation page will be passed an ``articles`` variable,
containing the list of articles aggregated.

Each item of this list will have the following attributes:

* ``title``: The title of the article;
* ``updated``: The date at which the article was last updated, as a
  timezone-aware ``datetime`` object;
* ``author``: The author of the article;
* ``link``: The URL to the article on its original website;
* ``summary``: The summary text of the article;
* ``feed_name``: The name of the feed from which the article originated, as
  defined in the Pelican config file;

Optional configuration
----------------------

You can have more control on the generated page, by setting a few more options
in your Pelican config file:

* ``PLANET_MAX_ARTICLES``: The maximum number of articles to show on the page.

  By default, all articles from all feeds will be added to the page.

* ``PLANET_MAX_ARTICLES_PER_FEED``: The maximum of articles from a single feed
  ending on the page.

  By default all articles of a given feed are considered.

* ``PLANET_MAX_SUMMARY_LENGTH``: The maximum number of words kept from the
  summary.

  By default the `summary` of the article will be the full text coming from
  the feed.
