External Data Source

RSS Feeds

Pulling in RSS content means you are always linking out to some other source.  To help keep your pages from running wild there is a max of 10 items that any particular feed can display.  Check out the filter methods if you want to display data in a more narrow focus.

Setup RSS

In your properties, for the section you want to use, simply make the Data Type = Hours, Events, RSS, Javascript, and then in the data source =  RSS: <url>.  If you want to pull more than one feed url into a single section use a comma to separate the feed urls.  Remember that the max display is 10 items, so it might be better to use different sections for different feeds unless you know the story count is going to be small.

Just Add Preview CSS

To help keep styles looking consitent we are matching RSS feed displays with the Microblogging previews.  This should help users recognize where to click to see more information.

RSS Styles

  • preview-list
  • preview-story
  • preview-feature
  • preview-top
  • preview-random
  • preview-dates
  • preview-links
  • preview-left
  • preview-right
  • preview-news

Adding Limits

The default number of items is 10.  If you want to only show a few items you can use the following style class along with your preview class.

preview-limit-(number)

For example "preview-limit-3" will only show 3 items in your list.  Scroll down on the page to see limits in action.

Item Limits

The maximum number of items that we show is 10 by default.  You can reduce that from 1 - 9 by using the preview-limit-(number) style.  You can see examples below how this works.
