Available Properties¶

Name	Description	Options	Default
setFeedUrl	URL of the feed to retrieve.	Any URL	http://feeds.feedburner.com/modx-announce
enableCache	This option allows you to disable caching all-together in SimplePie. However, disabling the cache can lead to longer load times. info	`0	1`
enableOrderByDate	Sometimes feeds don't have their items in chronological order. By default, SimplePie will re-order them to be in such an order. With this option, you can enable/disable the reordering of items into reverse chronological order if you don't want it. info	`0	1`
setCacheDuration	Set the minimum time (in seconds) for which a feed will be cached. info	integers in seconds	3600
setCacheLocation	Set the file system location (not WWW location) where the cache files should be written. The cache folder should be make or error will be returned. info		core/components/spiefeed/cache
setFaviconHandler	Set the handler to enable the display of cached favicons. info	[str image handler file], [query]	false, "i"
setItemLimit	Set the maximum number of items to return per feed with Multifeeds. This is NOT for limiting the number of items to loop through in a single fee For that, you want to pass $start and $length parameters to get_items(). info	integer	null
setJavascript	Set the query string that triggers SimplePie to generate the JavaScript code for embedding media files. info	javascript query string parameter	js
stripAttributes	Set which attributes get stripped from an entry's content. The default set of attributes is stored in the property SimplePie?strip_attributes, not to be confused with the method SimplePie?strip_attributes().This way, you can modify the existing list without having to create a whole new one. info	attributes get stripped from an entry"s content	array("bgsound", "class", "expr", "id", "style", "onclick", "onerror", "onfinish", "onmouseover", "onmouseout", "onfocus", "onblur", "lowsrc", "dynsrc")
stripComments	Set whether to strip out HTML comments from an entry's content. info	`0	1`
stripHtmlTags	Set which HTML tags get stripped from an entry's content. The default set of tags is stored in the property SimplePie?strip_htmltags, not to be confused with the method SimplePie?strip_htmltags(). This way, you can modify the existing list without having to create a whole new one. info	HTML tags get stripped from an entry"s content	array("base", "blink", "body", "doctype", "embed", "font", "form", "frame", "frameset", "html", "iframe", "input", "marquee", "meta", "noscript", "object", "param", "script", "style")
dateFormat	Date format supports anything that works with PHP's date() function. Only supports the English language. info	PHP"s date()	"j F Y, g:i a"
localDateFormat	Returns the date/timestamp of the posting in the localized language. Date format supports anything that works with PHP's strftime() function. To display in other languages, you need to change the locale with PHP's setlocale() function. The available localizations depend on which ones are installed on your web server. info	PHP"s strftime() of the posting in the localized language. setlocale() matters.	"%c"
getItemStart	Returns an array of SimplePie_Item references for each item in the feed, which can be looped through. info	integers	0
getItemLength	Returns an array of SimplePie_Item references for each item in the feed, which can be looped through. info	integers	0
forceFSockopen	If cURL is available, SimplePie will use it instead of the built-in fsockopen functions for fetching remote feeds. This config option will force SimplePie to use fsockopen even if cURL is installed. info	`0	1`
setInputEncoding	Allows you to override the character encoding of the feed. This is only useful for times when the feed is reporting an incorrect character encoding (as per RFC 3023 and Determining the character encoding of a feed). This setting is similar to set_output_encoding(). The number of supported character encodings depends on whether your web host supports mbstring, iconv, or both. See Supported Character Encodings for more information. info	http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/supported_character_encodings	false
setOutputEncoding	Allows you to override SimplePie's output to match that of your webpage. This is useful for times when your webpages are not being served as UTF-8. This setting will be obeyed by handle_content_type(), and is similar to set_input_encoding(). It should be noted, however, that not all character encodings can support all characters. If your page is being served as ISO-8859-1 and you try to display a Japanese feed, you'll likely see garbled characters. Because of this, it is highly recommended to ensure that your webpages are served as UTF-8. The number of supported character encodings depends on whether your web host supports mbstring, iconv, or both. See Supported Character Encodings for more information. info	http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/supported_character_encodings	"UTF-8"
sortBy	Allow you to sort the result by one of the available placeholders	placeholders	date
sortOrder	The sorting order	ASC	DESC
tpl	Template	chunk name	defaultSpieFeedTpl
rowCls	Class name for each row	class name	spie-row
firstRowCls	Class name for the first row	class name	spie-first-row
lastRowCls	Class name for the last row	class name	spie-last-row
oddRowCls	Class name for the odd row	class name	spie-odd-row
&debug (1.5-pl)	Debug mode, to return Simple Pie's error	`0	1`
&toArray (1.5-pl)	Return the result as an array	`0	1`
&emptyMessage (1.5-pl)	Custom message on the empty return	anything
