I’m working on a new design for my personal site, mcurry.net, part of which is basing the site on CakePHP. Although Cake is probably a little overkill in this situation, I’ve taken to using Cake for pretty much any site. The pretty urls alone make it worthwhile. And sites that start out as a single static page have a way of growing.
Part of the site is going to show the feed for this blog. SimplePie is the slickest PHP class for parsing RSS feeds. Using the class with Cake’s vendor system was an easy call. While I was on the SimplePie site I came across a this component, which unfortunately wasn’t up to date with the latest version of SimplePie.
I’ve updated the component to work with the SimplePie 1.0.1 and CakePHP 1.1 and 1.2. The updated SimplePie CakePHP component, along with instructions are now available.

I’ve gone ahead and updated the old component with this one. Good job.

Hey Ryan,
I was going to contact you guys, but you found it first. SimplePie rocks. Keep up the great work.

Hey - I’m trying to get Simplepie set up with CakePHP for a project I’m working on, but I’m getting an error (Class ‘Folder’ not found) in the Simplepie component. Do you know where this class is defined, and why I might be running into issues?
Thanks,
Aaron

Oh, and this is on CakePHP 1.1.17.5612.

Sigh. Never mind, solved it. It also turned out to be irrelevant since I don’t want to use the caching features anyway.
