XML Feed Blocks

An XML Feed Block is a block whose XML content is pulled from a web location. This can be useful when aggregating outside RSS links or receiving output from dynamic scripts or web applications that produce XML.

To create an XML Feed block:

  1. In the Home area, select New -> Default -> Block.
  2. Select the type of block you are creating. In this case it will be Feed Block.
  3. On the Content pane:
    Type the URL of the feed you wish to use.
  4. On the Metadata pane:
    Enter any Metadata desired.
  5. On the System pane:
    Name - Type in the name of your new block.
    Parent Folder - This is where the block will be stored. It's most useful to store blocks in a central or common location.
  6. Click Submit to save your block.
