RSS Feed

The developer portal will allow editors to set up one or more RSS feeds for their content. Using the RSS Feed page template, editors will be able to pick one or more content nodes from the Umbraco content tree and add these to their RSS feed.

Most content on the supported content nodes will be added to the feed, with some exceptions on regular pages that use the component content structure.

All content nodes added to the feed will be gathered on one single page and will be able to deliver their data in both XML and JSON formats on demand.

Supported pages and components are:

• Regular page
  • Textblock component
  • Text and image component
  • Image component
  • Dropdowns component
  • Markdown component
• Release Notes
• Roadmap
• Markdown (on documentation pages)

Setting up the RSS feed

In order to set up an RSS Feed, log on to the Umbraco backoffice and find the page you wish to add your feed under. Currently only regular pages support an RSS Feed:

Once you have an RSS Feed template opened in the Umbraco backoffice, you will be able to add content nodes to your feed.
You may add as many content nodes as you would like to your feed, the RSS Feed template will create a single page for you where all added nodes are listed. Just click the "Add RSS" button to add more nodes to your feed:

As with all component-based structures in our CMS solution, hovering over any added content node will show a delete button if you need to do so.

Accessing the RSS feed

After you have created and published your feed, you will be able to access it via a direct URL.
The feed should also show up on your service navigation structure.
To find the URL for your newly created feed, click the "info" button on the upper-right corner of your RSS Feed editor view:

Once you have accessed your feed, you will see a list of all your selected content nodes:

Clicking the "XML" and "JSON" buttons will take you to the actual content feed for that node.

Note that all of your nodes are accessed via a URL parameter [feed page URL?k=KEY&t=TYPE]
ex: /informasjonstjenester/plattform/rss-plattform/?k=067d5c19-c7f6-4d34-af4a-10a1c9b75856&t=xml

You will also see "copy url" buttons next to the XML and JSON buttons, these will copy that node and feed type's URL if you wish to distribute an absolute URL to a content feed.

That covers how to set up and access your own RSS feed on the Developer portal!
