The RSS Viewer allows you to display channel
content in the popular RSS format. In addition to the channels
available through Mennonite.net, there are literally thousands of RSS
channels available across the Internet covering news sources, blogs,
and wide range of other content. Here's how to add a channel to your site:
1. From the Add Block Menu on the Edit Column/Header/Footer bar, choose Add Feature.
2. Choose RSS Viewer from the Select Application pop-up menu.
3. Source: Select an RSS Channel. You can either paste in a URL or click the
Pick button to select your own channels or one from your site provider.
4. Set the display attributes for the channel.
Title:
Default: Shows the RSS channel.
None: Allows you to display just the channel content or create your own using
Caravel's other tools.
Text: Allows you to supply your own title.
Links per Page: Allows you to specify or limit the number links per page.
Max Description Length: Allows you to specify or limit the length of each entry in the channel.
Show Dates: Checking the box will display dates if they are available.
Display Style: Setting this to table will display the channel in table
format, which picks up the style sheet colors for odd and even table
rows.
