A feed component is used for adding RSS or similar feeds.

Where to Find

This Component can be found in the "Add Block to Page" section of the Toolbar.

Adding to Website

After selecting this Component, you will be able to choose exactly where you want to add it!


You will see all available content locations it can be added to - on the current page only (content locations in Gold), on every page (content locations in Red), or on every page under the current page directory (content locations in Blue. For example - if you are editing a page called "About", the blue content locations would allow you to add this component to all pages under the /about/ directory).

Options

Further configuration can be done before the Component is added.

You can optionally set a Title to be displayed above the feed content on your page.


The Entry Content Format option will allow you to choose how the feed content is displayed on your page. It can appear as:


  • Titles Only
  • Summarized Articles
  • Full Articles


The Feed Title will set your optional Title to display as plain text, a link to the feed source, or not at all.


The Number to Display field will let you set the number of feeds that display on your page at a time - between 1 to 15 or all available.
