Using RSS loader inside a function

[jsantari]

I've got some front end code that I want to load a RSS feed using the MarkupLoadRSS module. I can get it to work from my template but I want to use it to load dynamically from a function I have. Inside the function it does not see the $modules object when trying to do a get for the module. How should I reference the $modules object within my function?

Inside functions you need to use:

wire('modules')->

Same goes for wire('pages') etc.

This is due to variable scope issues:

http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

If you are ever writing a long function where one of the PW variables is used many times, you can always define it at the top of the function:

eg: $modules = wire('modules');
