Using External RSS Feeds

Cascade Server allows for the inclusion of external RSS feeds in internally managed pages through the use of an XML Feed Block.

To incorporate an external RSS feed:

  1. In the Home area, navigate to the folder where you want to store your XML feed block. This will typically be an internal or common folder where all such blocks are stored.
  2. Select New -> Default -> Block.
  3. Select Feed Block and click Submit.
  4. On the Content Pane, enter the external URL for the feed you wish to use.
  5. On the System Pane, enter a name for your new feed and click Submit.
  6. This new XML Feed Block can now be plugged into a page region along with a custom stylesheet, and the rendered content from the external feed will appear on the page.

Additional Notes

Although the Feed Block will be updated automatically any time additions or changes are made to the external feed, Cascade Server publishes the resulting page as static HTML. To keep your content up to date, it's best to set up a frequent publishing schedule for pages using external feeds.
