Using the Features box

posted by Krow on 01:32 PM February 13th, 2003      

Is there any way to make the features box automatically update itself and present direct links to the "feature" stories that have been posted on the site? Or would this have to be done manually?

If it's gotta be done manually, seems to me as if the features and quick links boxes could effectively be used for the same thing. Guess it depends on how recently i plan to update the features box.

  Just grab the RSS feed from your own site: http://www.yoursite/features.rss
  
  You have to mark the 'retrieve' and 'portald' boxes. In fact it's just like another box with an external feed, you can call it 'latestfeatures' or similar.

  This may seem like a really stupid question, but how is the RSS feed generated? And how do I make it work?

    To be more specific - How do I get it to appear initially?

    It's all good - hadn't run portald to update all of the blocks. Must remember to ensure all tasks are run daily, if not more often.
