Kentico - Adding a RSS Feed to a Page
This document details how to set up a RSS Feed on your Kentico page. An RSS feed is an easy way to keep running a list of the most current news posts or events.
- Insert the RSS Feed widget onto the page.
- Hover over the RSS Feed widget and select the gear icon in the top right-hand corner of the block.
- Select the widget properties:
-
- Column Layout - creates a column to the left of the feed in the proportions you select. Selected by default is 0/100 which is a single column. Any other column layout option will create another content column to the left in the proportions you decide.
- Feed URL - place the feed URL. This varies by the system you're pulling the feed from. If it’s from a wordpress blog, you can add /feed/ to the end of the blog, category, or tag url (eg. https://blog.uwgb.edu/hr/feed/) . See the list of Campus Calendar feeds.
- Feed Type - If it's a feed from news.uwgb.edu, select "News." If not, select "Other."
- Number of Items – enter the number of feed items you want to appear on the page.
- Description – enable this to display the description of the feed item.
- Published Date - enable this to display the published date of the feed item.
- View More Link – enter the URL of the site, or area of the site, that the feed is pulled from (this is a regular URL, not a feed URL).
- Reverse Layout – enabling this flips the columns so that the feed is in the left column and the content is in the right column.
- Click Apply.
- Edit the textual content in the widget using the rich content editor.
- Click Save.
