Sometimes an RSS feed has a low bandwidth and during the page creation Wordpress has to wait after those RSS feeds has been downloaded. This plugin allow the site to read the RSS after the page was created, not during the process.

To modify or delete the list of RSS feeds go to Tools -> Lexi.

You can add the Lexi widget to show the list, but you can also use the tag [lexi] in a page, or the function lexi() in a template.

To show just one item from the list, use [lexi:id] or lexi(id).

To show a Feed that hasn't been declared in the list, use [lexi: configuration, rss, title, max_items] or lexiRSS($configuration, $rss, $title, $max_items). The configuration number can be calculated as follow:

Add 1 if you want to save it in cache. Add 2 if you want to show the contents. Add 4 if you want to show the title. Add 8 if you want to open it in a new page.

If you want to use the title given by the RSS, use [lexi: configuration, rss, max_items] or lexiRSS($configuration, $rss, false, $max_items).

There is a button in the RichText editor created by the plugin to add a Feed.

This plugin requires minimax in order to work.

Lexi detects if your site has the SimplePie library enabled. Since Wordpress 2.8 comes with it by default you don't need to activate anithing, but in earlier versions you have to install the SimplePieCore Plugin to use it instead MagpieRSS. I recomend to use SimplePie. Remember to uninstall SimplePieCore if you are using Worpress 2.8 or any latter version.

Screenshots are in spanish because it's my native language. As you should know yet I spe'k english, and the plugin use it by default.
