Paid xF2 Add-on [Blatchy] - XenRSS

XenRSS enhances XenForo's RSS feeder by automatically scraping full article content.
Configure content selectors, strip unwanted elements, optimize images to WebP, and output a clean RSS feed ready for import.
Perfect for news sites, aggregators, and content curation.

Stop settling for truncated RSS summaries.
XenRSS transforms partial RSS feeds into complete, richly formatted content ready for XenForo’s built‑in RSS importer.

How It Works

XenRSS acts as a middleware between external RSS feeds and XenForo.
Point XenForo's RSS feeder at your XenRSS endpoint instead of the original feed, and XenRSS will:

• Fetch the original RSS feed
• Visit each article URL and scrape the full content
• Apply your filtering rules to clean the content
• Download and optimize images as local attachments
• Output a new RSS feed with complete articles

Target article bodies, exclude sidebars, ads, and navigation — you're fully in control.

Smart Content Filtering

• Remove elements by class name or ID
• Remove specific attributes (onclick, data-*, etc.)
• Strip or preserve links selectively
• Clean empty tags and excessive line breaks
• Supports wildcard patterns (e.g., ad-container-*)

Advanced Selectors

• before:selector — Remove everything before an element
• after:selector — Remove everything after an element
• Supports class names, IDs, and tag selectors

Image Optimization

• Downloads article images as XenForo attachments
