Lexi WordPress Plugin
An RSS reader that can be placed in pages, posts and sidebar, using ajax to show contents after the site has been loaded.
Sometimes an RSS feed has a low bandwidth and during the page creation WordPress has to wait after those RSS feeds had been downloaded. This plugin allows the site to read the RSS after the page was created, not during the process.
To show a Feed in a post use [lexi: configuration, rss, title, max_items] or lexiRSS($configuration, $rss, $title, $max_items).
The configuration number can be calculated as follows:
- Add 1 if you want to save it in cache.
- Add 2 if you want to show the content.
- Add 4 if you want to show the title (this is the channel link too).
- Add 8 if you want to open it in a new page.
- Add 16 if you want to not show the RSS icon (this is the RSS link too).
- Add 32 if you want to show the author.
- Add 64 if you want to show the date.
- Add 128
