This plugin adds RSS Feeds support for evolution mail. RSS support was built upon the somewhat existing RSS support in evolution-1.4 branch. The motivation behind this was to have RSS in same place as mails, at this moment I do not see the point having a separate RSS reader since a RSS Article is like an email message. Probably that's the same reason for NNTP support in evolution.

Evolution RSS can display article using [[#Evolution-RSS_displaying_an_article|summary view]] or [[#Evolution-RSS_displaying_an_article|HTML view]].

== FAQ ==

===Installation===

See [[Installation]] page

===Add RSS feeds under evolution===

For adding feeds to evolution-rss please see the [[Evolution_RSS_Reader_Plugin:Setup_Feeds|Setup Feeds]] page.

For importing feeds from browser see [[Evolution_RSS_Reader_Plugin:Importing_Feeds|Importing Feeds]] page.

===Enable rendering of feed articles using Gecko or Webkit===

You probably need to recompile evolution-rss.
And you will need the following

{|class='wikitable'
!distribution
!package
|-
!Fedora||xulrunner-devel-unstable
webkitgtk-devel
|-
!Ubuntu||xulrunner-1.9-dev
libwebkitgtk-dev

|-
!Suse||gecko-sdk

|}

After you installed those packages you will need to recompile evolution-rss.
Support for gecko or webkit libraries should be automatically detected:
[[Image:enablemozilla.png|thumb|270px]]
Evolution RSS plugin successfully configured
Source code location : .
Installation path : /usr/lib64/evolution/2.26/plugins
Prefix : /usr
HTML renders : gtkHTML, WebKit (1.1.10), libxul-embedding (gecko engine version 1.9)
Primary HTML render : gtkhtml
D-BUS support : yes
libsoup-gnome support : yes
Import feeds : evolution-import-rss

Go to evolution Plugins => Evolution RSS => Configuration => Engine and select Mozilla as rendering.

===Enable cookies support===

Note: At least libsoup 2.26 is required and libsoup-gnome if you want sqlite support.

Go to evolution: Plugins => Evolution RSS => Configuration => check Accept cookies from sites.

This will enable evolution-rss to store data using cookies when browsing with either gecko or webkit.

This is most useful when you have sites that require username and passwords.

If you want to import cookies from other browsers or applications go to:

Go to evolution: Plugins => Evolution RSS => Configuration => click on Import Cookies.

You can import cookies from Firefox (sqlite format) or from text files (Netscape format).

===Evolution crashes when using gtkmozembed as a render (evolution-rss < 0.2.0) ?===

Problems have been spotting when running evolution under Ubuntu and prbably on Debian too.

This is a well known bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/26436/),
as many other application crash when they embed firefox with gtkmozembed.

There are 3 fixes for that:

- either run evolution with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/firefox/lib evolution
- either appd into ld.so.conf /path/to/firefox and run ldconfig afterwards
- install and recompile evolution-rss with xulrunner-1.9 which provides glue
that should load the right libs automagically

or you can choose to render articles using [[Webkit]]

===What does "Validate feed" mean?===

Adding feed when poor conection can be really slow. Imagine you have a 350+ opml file and
each feeds needs to be feched before setup, this will take enourmous amount of time, so
you can just skip this step by unchecking Validate feed option. Feeds will be read,
afterwards one by one.
