Display news with RSS

Create a News post

Copy the address for the RSS-feed you would like to display on your screen(s) and paste it into the address field of the News post.

It is also possible to select an RSS-feed from the library (resources that can be reused). In this way, a News-resource can be used for several posts, and you don't have to copy the address each time. 

How do I find the RSS feed for the news I want to display?

We suggest that you do a search online for the RSS feed you wish to display, e.g. "RSS BBC" or your local newspaper. The RSS can be something like https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml, and can sometimes be found in the RSS logo.

If you cannot find the link you need, we recommend contacting the newspaper and asking them if they have an RSS-feed you can use.

Stored as a resource in the library

It is also possible to select an RSS feed from the library (resources that can be reused). In this way, a News resource can be used for several posts, without having to copy the address again.

Number of news and time period

You can choose how many news items you would like to display, default is the last three. 

In addition you can select how far back in time you want to display news by limiting this time period. Default is no limitation. 

Allow images

If the RSS-feed contains images, you can select whether or not to display these.

Optional: Allow HTML

We basically remove HTLM from RSS-news. Then they are best displayed in most situations. But you can allow HTML to include formatting. Then you yourself take over the responsibility for what and how it is displayed.
