RSS Aggregator Portlet Guide

The RSS Aggregator portlet allows you to display an RSS feed from an external source. You can control how many stories to display in the feed as well as the look and feel of the feed.

Adding an RSS Aggregator Portlet

The process for adding an RSS Aggregator portlet to a page is the same process as for adding any other portlet to a page.

1. Set Design Mode to On.

2. Find the region where you wish to display an RSS feed. In the Portlet Library, click on the Content Management category.

3. Drag and drop the RSS Aggregator portlet on to the page.

Editing an RSS Aggregator Portlet

To configure an RSS Aggregator portlet:

1. Set Design Mode to On.

2. Click the pencil icon on the top-right corner of the RSS Aggregator portlet.
