# xml-feed-generator
an RSS/atom feed generator for my personal site :cat:
---
## disclaimer
**this script is not meant to be used as is (yet).**
expect to do *a lot* of modification to fit your needs, as this was originally tailored for my site structure and blog markup.
an RSS/atom feed generator for my personal site :cat: tested to work with PHP version 8.2.
---
## how it works
1. match files in a specificied directory.
2. load the DOM of each file.
3. parse values retrieved from the following strings/HTML elements (prioritizing [h-entry markup](https://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry)), as children of a feed `<entry>`:
- `<element class=p-name>` (or `<h2>`) as `<title>`
- the `datetime` attribute of `<time>` (or the file creation date) as `<updated>`
- `<element class="p-summary">` as `<summary>`
- `<element class="e-content">` (or `<article>`) as `<content>`
- `/path/to/blog/entry` as `<id>` and `<link>`
4. output all of the above into a new file named **articles.xml**.
3. parse the following elements as children of `<entry>`, in order of priority:
| original HTML | feed output |
|-------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 1. `class="p-name"` | `<title>` |
| 2. `<title>` in `<head>` | |
| 3. the XML feed title | |
| | |
| 1. `datetime` attribute of `class=dt-updated` | `<updated>` |
| 2. `datetime` attribute of the first `<time>` element | |
| 3. file modification date, retrieved from the server | |
| | |
| 1. `datetime` attribute of `class=dt-published` | `<published>` |
| 2. `datetime` attribute of the first `<time>` element | |
| 3. file creation date, retrieved from the server | |
| | |
| 1. `class="p-summary"` | `<summary>` |
| 2. `<meta property="description">` | |
| | |
| 1. `class="e-content"` | `<content>` |
| 2. `<article>` | |
| | |
| 1. /path/to/blog/entry | `<id>` and `<link rel="alternate">` |
4. output all of the above into a new file named **articles.xml** (default name, but can be changed).
## ways to use
- configure a cron job on your web server to run automatically every now and then.
