Syndicating Other Sites' Feeds

In addition to creating RSS feeds from your content, you can also syndicate content from other sites. You can syndicate any content from any site that produces an RSS feed. You can add that content to a wiki page or a module.

In this section, you will syndicate the news feed from the Tiki community portal.

From the Admin menu:

1. Select Settings > External Feeds.
2. On the Admin RSS modules page, click the Create Feed tab.
3. Complete the following information in the Create new RSS module area:
   
   • Name: Enter the name for the feed module, such as News from Tiki.org.
   • Description: Enter a description of the feed module.
   • URL: Enter the full URL of the TikiWiki news feed:
     http://info.tiki.org/tiki-articles_rss.php?ver=2
     

      Note

     The URL must be a valid RSS XML source.
   • Refresh rate: Specifies how often Tiki should check the feed for updates. Leave this as 30 minutes.
   • Show feed title: Specifies to include the title of the RSS feed (as defined by the feed itself).
   • Show publish date: Specifies to include the time and date of each post in the RSS feed.
4. Click Save. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page. Your newly created feed module is now listed on the External Feeds tab.
   
5. Click Refresh to load content from the RSS feed.
