RSS import

Import of external RSS sources


Beneath the tab RSS import you can add the external RSS sources you would like to use on the website. RSS is short for Rich Site Summary and is a standard format for transfering news headlines on the web. SiteVision can fetch data from an external RSS source and is automatically updated when new news have arrived. Your website will be easily updated with the latest news.

When opening the tab you will see already added RSS sources:

Here you add the URL to the RSS compatible feed, give the URL a description and decide how often the source should be updated. In order to show the news from the RSS source you utilize the News portlet.

Empty item cache if the connection is lost


This box you can check if you would like the cache to be emptied if the connection is lost. Then there will be no news showing. If you do not check this box and the connection is lost, there will only be "old news" showing.
Observe! In order to find addresses to external RSS feeds you can for instance search on Google for RSS.

Observe! If you would like to provide your own news through an RSS feed, you make these settings in the News portlet..

Permission rights! This portlet/function requires the right Site properties.
