[Plugin: Syndicate Press] Free-format for feed items?

    Hi,

    currently, Syndicate Press allows to format feed and item titles, but the remaining formatting is pre-determined (e.g. order of fields, line breaks between title and timestamp field). Would it be possible to completely free-format each feed item in the output with a small string-based template?

    Example: <li>strftime("...",$updated), $title</li>

    Ideally with additional hooks, fields, templates for pre-first-item and post-last-item. This would enable people to super-flexibly assemble the output from feed data building blocks. In my specific case, I’d like to produce a format like the following (similar to the “Releases and Updates” section on http://www.opencsw.org).

    * 2011-11-01, Released foo
    * 2011-11-01, Released bar
    * 2011-10-27, Released foobar
    …

    Would like to refrain from hand-hacking TinyFeedParser.php or providing a specifically output-adjusted feed. If formatting a list like the one above is possible with the currently available feature set, I’d be more than happy to know.

    Also, if using Syndicate Press to integrate multiple feeds into one’s page, it would be great if such an output template could be specified on a per-feed basis. Different feeds in different areas of a page could need different formatting.

    Skayser,
    that’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I will look into integrating this into the next major release.
