Hi
I’m here to share a way to use Zend_Feed_Reader with the EHttpClient extension
Why use EHttpClient and not to use Zend_Autoloader?
To use less Zend dependencies, speeding it up
How to use:
download EHttpClient extension and extract it in your extensions folder
Also, extract the content of the attached file to application.vendors folder and apply this code anywhere you want to use Zend_Feed
//add zend folder to the include path and save the old one
$oldPath=set_include_path(($path=Yii::import('application.vendors.*')).PATH_SEPARATOR.get_include_path());
//include zend_loader
require_once $path.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'Zend'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'Loader.php';
//load zend_feed class
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Feed');
//read the feed, try/catch will prevent it from throw an exception
try{
$dataProvider=Zend_Feed::import('http://www.yiiframework.com/rss.xml/');
}catch(CException $e){
Yii::log($e->getMessage(),CLogger::LEVEL_WARNING);
$dataProvider=array();
}
//after you use zend classes, remove zend from included paths to increase perfomance
set_include_path($oldPath);
The modified Zend_Feed is attached
Hope it helps
