RSS feeds

This article is describing how to embed RSS feeds into the page and how to provide own RSS stream from the listing.

Various listings e.g., news, events, publications provide RSS feed (see RSS icon next to the page title) automatically. There is no way, at the moment, to control this feature.
To embed RSS feed from other site you can add either portlet or the tile. Please follow instructions given below to do so.

RSS Portlet

Navigate to the page that you would like to add the 'RSS portlet' to (you need to be logged in).
Once on the page, use the drop down menu on the right side of the edit bar that will be 'Your name'.
Select 'Manage portlets'.
You will now be taken to a page that allows you to select 'Primary portlets' and 'Secondary portlets'. RSS portlet is available only for 'Primary portlets'.
Using the 'Add portlet' drop down menu under the portlet location that you require, select 'RSS portlet'. You will then be taken to a page where you can configure this portlet.

There are four fields on this page:

Title

This is the title that will appear at the top of the portlet. If it is missing Haiku tries to get this title from the RSS feed itself.

Number of items to display

Enter some value if you want to limit number of items to display. This is not mandatory and default value is 5.

URL of RSS feed

URL of RSS feed. This is not mandatory.

Feed reload timeout

Time in minutes after which feed should be reloaded. Please give high number if RSS channel is not frequently updated. It will save Haiku resources and speed up serving the page.

Once on the page, select 'Layout' mode and drag&drop RSS tile from available tiles. Save the layout afterwards.
