Scott Adams, the genious creator of Dilbert, deleted all his content from the website and turned to X and other paid communities.

This plugon no longer works! That's why it is archived.

FreshRSS - "Dilberts daily comic" extension

This FreshRSS extension allows you to directly enjoy the daily Dilbert comic within your FreshRSS installation.

To use it, upload the xExtension-Dilbert directory to the FreshRSS ./extensions directory on your server and enable it on the extension panel in FreshRSS.

The Dilbert feed itself

This extension supports both feed addresses:

But this extension will ONLY work on new added feed items as it manipulates them while fetching new items.

Fair use

Please note that they deactivated the images in their RSS feed years ago, I suspect mainly to get more visitors to their website. So please play fair and visit them on a daily base instead of using this extension ;-) as we all want to keep their feed alive!

Requirements

This FreshRSS extension uses the PHP extension DOM and XML.

As those are requirements by FreshRSS itself, you should be good to go.

Installation

The first step is to put the extension into your FreshRSS extension directory:

cd /var/www/FreshRSS/extensions/
wget https://github.com/kevinpapst/freshrss-dilbert/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv freshrss-dilbert-master/xExtension-Dilbert .
rm -rf freshrss-dilbert-master/

Then switch to your browser https://localhost/FreshRSS/p/i/?c=extension and activate it.
