Here’s how RSS Feeds work on the new CMS:
1. Edit the template that is supposed to display the RSS Data.
2. Click in the area that will hold the RSS. This should not be inside an editable content zone or they will conflict with each other.
3. Using the “Custom Controls” option, add an RSS Feed.
4. Give the RSS Feed an “Editable Zone ID”. This will allow there to be different RSS Feeds on different pages (if desired).
5. (Optional) Assign the default URL for the RSS Feed, if all feeds will come from the same place.
6. Click OK.
7. At that point, you will have the rather boring RSS Feed display, showing title, date and url.
8. If desired, you can custom tweak the HTML for the RSS Feed results to make it look like anything you want, similar to how the HTML-based Side Menu can be tweaked.
9. The class “level_header” is used to find the html to put at the top of the feed.
10. The class “item_header” is used to find the html to use for each RSS result.
11. You can use the following tokens , displaying RSS Data:
